SOP, will try my best and hope i will write a decent one.

Things which i think will damage my chances.

1. No publications or active participation in events
2.Cleared 4 subjects(in 2, 3 rd sem) in supply and another 4(in 4, 5th sem) subjects by re-registrtion and got 80+ in all subjects after that.(Reason for this is, i am not confident on subject knowledge and so i intentionally want to register for the course again) All those subjects are not related to MS study.

Like to apply for Ambi-2, Mod-5, Safe-3.So, in your opinion can you please choose (A-2+1,M-5+1,S-3+1) universities and also please rate Ambi, Mod and safe for all and please recommend some deletions if any.
