Dear Sir/Madam,
Chirag is an Undergraduate student of the Department of Computer Science and Information
Systems of BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus. I have interacted with him in the previous semester
(second semester of the academic year 2021-2022) as an instructor for the course Data Structures
and Algorithms. This is a compulsory course for all undergraduate students of the Computer
Science department. Chirag was enrolled in my practical section. He had attended all the lab
sessions and was very sincere. He used to attempt all the programming assignments with utmost
sincerity. Because of the pandemic, the semester started off with classes and practicals being
conducted in online mode. Later, the mode of content delivery switched to hybrid mode (where
students could attend the sessions physically or via online mode). I remember that Chirag had
attended all the practical sessions that were conducted in online mode and used to ask questions
regarding his doubts. He had physically attended the practical sessions conducted in hybrid mode.
He had a keen interest for the subject and was eager to learn. He has an inquisitive mind and has a
good logical reasoning capability. Moreover, he is a good programmer which was evident from
the way he used to solve the Data Structures related programming problems.
Chirag has a keen interest in research. He had contacted me and expressed his inclination to do a
project with me long before the other students. This also shows that he possesses the quality of
good and methodical planning. In the current semester, Chirag is working with me on a project
related to intrusion detection systems. As part of this project, he is surveying several open-source
network intrusion related datasets and will be analyzing them using various machine learning
models. Prior to undertaking this project work, Chirag had very little exposure to machine learning.
But he, out of his own interest for the project, went through several machine learning related
resources during the summer vacation in addition to doing an internship (the internship was a
curriculum related requirement). This shows that he is a very motivated individual and has a keen
urge for learning. Out of all the undergraduate students with whom I have interacted in my six
years’ career, Chirag is among the top 10% of the students with respect to sincerity, diligence and
aptitude towards research. He has good problem-solving capabilities as well as an inquisitive and

logical mind. In my opinion, these are the qualities required in a researcher. These qualities coupled
with a hard-working attitude that Chirag possesses will ensure that he will do well in a research
program, given a chance.
On a personal note, Chirag is a very polite and helping person. His interactions with me have
showed that he is respectful towards his teachers. Moreover, he is a hard-working and sincere
individual. I feel Chirag has the capability to perform well in the program he is applying for. He
has a keen interest in exploring new things and is sincere in his efforts towards learning. I feel he
will be able to carry out the responsibilities demanded by the program. In case of any further
queries, please feel free to contact me via email or phone.

Yours sincerely
Dr. Barsha Mitra
