LOR Sample 1

I take immense pleasure to recommend one of our outstanding student Sanket Shrikant Savane for
the Master’s Program at your esteemed University. I have known Sanket for the past three years
teaching him theory course in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Semester VII). I have also
supervised his laboratory work for the subject. During this time, I have had interactions with him on
an academic and personal level. What struck me instantly was his commitment to his work and his
desire to achieve excellence in whatever he undertakes.

In all my classes, he has been an active participant in classroom discussions and has excelled in all
the subjects that I have taught him, constantly securing above 70 percent. He is very punctual and
has always submitted his assignments and project reports well before deadlines and he is well
focused with a keen interest in the practical application of the subject. His habit of relating
everything taught in class with the everyday applications has strengthened his base. Hence, his
knowledge of the course subjects is extremely thorough.

Other than the stipulated work in class, he has taken up several other initiatives and excelled in
them. He is currently working on a project for the testing and enhancement of an earth air tunnel
installed in our college campus. Along with two of his classmates, he is doing the necessary study
required to make the project a success. They are successfully working towards achieving a system
which is entirely electricity-free and is also eco-friendly.  His work on this project highlights his
thorough knowledge in the subjects of fluid mechanics, heat-mass transfer etc.

Doing well academically has not limited his involvement in other sectors. He has successfully been
part of the student council as the cultural secretary of the college and has represented college and
organized events and festivals exceptionally well. He is also an excellent sportsman representing the
college in sports like Cricket and Volleyball.

I believe that Sankets’s strong hold on the subjects of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat-
mass transfer will hold him well in his stride. He has spoken to me in detail about his plans to pursue
an MS in Mechanical Engineering with a Concentration in Energy Systems and I believe he has the
required knowledge and skill set to excel in this course. Also, his well-rounded personality as a result
of the variety of his experiences as the cultural secretary of the college will make him an asset to
your institution. He will definitely do well in this course and will blend well into the new
environment. Hence, I strongly recommend him for admission into your esteemed university.

I am writing to you in support of XZ and her desire to attend your university for the
mechanical engineering program. Though many students ask me to make this
request on their behalf, I only recommend students whom I feel are well-suited for
the program of their choice. Ms.XZ is one of those students and therefore, I highly
recommend that she be given the opportunity to attend your university. she has
consistently shown such a strong desire to learn that I simply could not turn down
her request for recommendation.

I have taught her “THEORY OF MACHINES” and “MECHANICAL VIBRATIONS”

subjects. Her performance in those classes was excellent. Sh e is a bright and
intelligent and her insightful approach towards the subject is splendid. With is
diligence and brightness, she finished her assignments in time. Sh e joined our
institute through the statewide competitive examination for admission to
engineering programs.

Apart from academics Ms Y.XZ is the most popular student I have known in this
college. This I attribute to her for excellent communication skills, enchanting
leadership qualities and the way she organizes the technical meets and other extra
curricular activities.

As a teacher I would rate her among top 1% of 60 students and strongly convinced
that Ms Y. XZ is sufficiently prepared for her proposed stud and that she will make
significant contribution to your program. So I strongly recommend her to pursue in
masters degree in mechanical engineering at your university. I wish her all the best.

 LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION

To,

 The Officer in - Charge of Graduate Admissions

Dear Sir,

I am pleased to recommend to you Mr. STUDENT NAME, I have been an integral part of his student
life for about four years now. During this period, I have taught him Subject Names. This interaction,
between us has introduced me to some of his unique abilities and personality.

He is a remarkable, young man with, exceptional talent. The most important ingredient of his
character is his ‘never say die’ attitude which stands out and makes a mark in every dimension of his
life. His strong desire to search deep, I believe, makes him what he is. This added to his passion for
the subject gives him a unique edge over his peers and makes him an excellent student. His never-
ending thirst for knowledge, I am sure, will make his successful when he takes up research at the
masters and doctorate levels.

High grasping power and ability to reason logically seem to come naturally to him. His punctuality
and hardworking nature, keep him well ahead of his peers he also maintains a very good rapport
with his peers and is a team man. His ability to convince people has always impressed me. Good
communication and organizational skills help him to be at the forefront of organizing seminars and
group discussion classes.

He has been an above average student all his life which is also well supported by his academic
scores. I can stand a guarantee for his aptitude and information in these mentioned subjects. He
ranks among the top 4% of the students I have taught.

I strongly feel that he is worthy of graduate study at your university. In my opinion, a student of his
qualities deserves admission into your esteemed university and is well worthy of financial aid.

To whom it may concern,
It is my immense pleasure to support XYZ’s candidature to your institution for
Master’s in Computer Science program. Currently, I hold the designation of
Deputy Head at the Department of Information & Communication Technology in
ABC Institute. Even though it has been more than 3 years since I taught and guided
XYZ, I still clearly remember him for his innovative ideas which he showcased as
a student.
I met XYZ when he enrolled for Network Technologies elective during his 6th
semester of his undergraduate studies. Though the course was for 6 months, we
interacted several times outside the classroom. He also reached out to me post his
graduation for professional guidance. He was not only a competitive student but
also showed impressive grasp of technical concepts.
I recall that XYZ was a step ahead than most of his peers when it came to
experimenting with his learnings. In the 7th semester he implemented his
knowledge of TCP/IP protocols, wireless networks, etc. which he acquired during
Network Technologies course to develop a couple of software applications. In one
application, which was an Android Chess game, he made a multiplayer application
where two users could connect their phone wirelessly and play the game in real
time. In the other application, he developed a chat module using TCP/IP in which
user could chat with the admins of the app. He would often come to me for
guidance during the development of these applications. I felt proud as a teacher to
see my student practically implementing his classroom learnings.
XYZ was well recognized among the juniors. He actively guided them in their
studies or projects whenever they approached him. He was always calm and
composed, so the juniors always loved to interact with him. I was also impressed
with his time management skills. He would always be on time for his classes and
never failed to meet any deadlines. Despite having multiple assignments to
complete in a semester, he would neither delay the submissions nor ask for extra
time. 
Besides the course work, he attended workshops and participated in technical
events. His love for Android programming even won him an award in one of the
hackathon contests organized by the Computer Science Club, IECSE of our college
in 2017. He was also a member of the Lions Club of the college and actively
participated in various social causes.
It does not come to me as a surprise that even after 3 years of professional work
experience, he is still eager to pursue Master’s in Computer Science. I strongly
recommend XYZ for his graduate studies in your institution. His keen desire to
explore and learn will take him far ahead in life. I wish XYZ all the best for his
graduate studies. Please feel free to contact me in case you have any queries on this
recommendation.
Sincerely,
