SOP

Introduction: For the introduction, you must adopt the anecdotal approach. You must start by writing about an anecdote that helped you realise your professional interest in Biotechnology. The introduction should not consist of any generic information; rather, it is advisable to talk about a specific instance/event that motivated you to pursue this course. Make sure this instance is from your recent past (as the university would like to know about your recent accomplishments). For example: you may talk of a recent research paper that you read, a project that you undertook, or an event that you attended.

Conclusion: The conclusion of the SOP for MS in Biotechnology should be short and crisp. You can mention how you are prepared for this course and why they should take you.

An SOP for an internship must be between 500–800 words or as specified by the company. It should be comprehensive and concise covering your motivation, skills, and career goals. You must follow the particular format for SOP for an internship. It should include:

• Introduction – The introduction of the SOP for internship should depict your motivation for applying for the particular internship.
• Academic Background – This section should discuss your coursework, academic life, and achievements.
• Work Experience – You can discuss any internships taken up, projects, work experience, and technical and other soft skills gained from the same.
• Post programme goals – You should discuss how the internship is aligned with your future career goals.

No, it is not a good idea to use same generic SOP for all the universities you are applying to. It is important to customize the SOP as per the university. You must check any specific SOP guidelines provided by the university. These guidelines may include particular question, instructions or even SOP word limit. Incase, no guidelines are provided by the university, you must prepare the SOP as per the university course and requirements. An SOP, which includes 
specific details about the university resources, facilities, and impressive features, and how they align with your goals, is certainly more impressive than a generic SOP. You can even gain an edge when university finds that you are serious enough to research about the university and its offerings. Aligning your SOP with the core values, mission and vision of the university can also earn you brownie points when comes to selection process.
