Confidential statement of the applicant’s ability and potential by academic

referee with recent knowledge of the applicant’s work

(Please continue on a separate page if necessary)

I am quite glad to advocate this letter in favor of Mr. Mohammed Imran Ahmed. I have taught
him the subject Antenna and Wave Propagation in the 6th Semester and was project supervisor for
him in the final year for project on Smart Black Box. I have known him for the past five years
and I have seen a student with huge ability in him and his learn at our university.

He has a good hold on the basic principles underlying the above subject. He is an extremely
intelligent individual who strives to achieve any goal that he sets in his mind too. His intuitive
and methodical work has helped him in developing a broad prospective as well as mastery over
fundamentals. He has shown great promise by venturing beyond the scope of the subject syllabus.

Imran is a smart individual and talks intensely out in open. He is sure with his musings yet in the
meantime he is interested in the new ideas and grasps learning. In addition to this, Imran has
always demonstrated a high energy level, combined with the willingness to accept responsibility.
The quality that I noticed was his way of approach. He is always enthusiastic and optimistic about
the work he is assigned to.

He is one of the few students who sincerely believe that excellence is a journey, not a destination.
It is this pursuit of excellence which will mold him into a highly successful individual.
Considering Imran’s enviable traits, I can confidently state that he ranks within top 10% of all the
students I have taught. It is with this same confidence that I recommend him to your prestigious
university. Under your expert guidance, I have no doubt that he will be able to demonstrate his
intelligence and self-confidence, and continue to be erudite.

Please reach out to me for any further queries.
