Hi, my case was almost same and I had also applied under SDS, paid full year tuition fee as well as GIC etc., Showed funds of approximately $10000, IELTS OVERALL BAND 7 with no less than 6, and still my Student Visa got rejected stating 'Purpose of Visit' as the Visa Officer thought I won't come back to India after the completion og the course.
My Consultant told me that it was a random rejection and SOP is not needed for SDS applications, but i think i should write and submit it again for Next intake of January 2020.

Got visa approval under sds for Jan 2020 intake. It is better to submit Statement of Purpose if there is anything you want to convey or explain to the visa officer which you are not able to, with your documents or application.

Did u submit tution fee receipt and gic certificate only as financial documents? Or some other documents were also required?
I didn't send SOP and not even cover letter, besides that, i submitted my full year tuition fee, gic account as well as showed funds of $10000 .
Visa Rejected on grounds of 'Purpose of visit' stating " I don't think that you'll return to your home country after your temporary stay".
Now applying for Jan 2020 intake.
Consultant again saying that it was just a matter of bad luck, will apply again somewhat earlier and visa will be approved, don't know whether i should write SOP or Cover Lettee this time or not
