Hi Vijay, For the letters of recommendation we have to select such professors, project guides or colleagues/ managers who know you well in terms of your academic and other work skills. Please start preparing the three drafts according to these guidelines and send them over to me asap. Outline for the LoR will be 1. Introduction — This consists of a brief description of recommender's credentials (name, title, college/company name, including his relationship with you)— how long and in what capacity he has known you — and to highlight your stand he can compare your status as against any other students like you whom he has supervised or taught He/she has to identify responsibilities including no. of people supervised. Close this paragraph with your outstanding qualities that motivate him to recommend you. 2. Paragraph 1: Discuss a Quality -- ( for example - academic prowess, research aptitude, ability in thinking out of the box , leader ship, organizational, teamwork skills, taking initiatives, work ethics and/or maturity. Choose any one or any other that relates to you for each paragraph) and provide an substantial and impressive example (important) of when you displayed that quality. 3. Paragraph 2: Discuss any other Quality and provide an impressive example of when you displayed that quality. 4. Paragraph 3: Discuss yet another Quality and provide an impressive example of when you displayed that quality. 5. Paragraph 4: Briefly discuss a weakness and describe the progress you made in minimizing and overcoming that weakness. 6. Conclusion: Summary of your strengths and a ringing and enthusiastic endorsement of your candidacy. I hope these are adequate pointers. Also note that each draft should be highlighting different qualities so that they don't look as written by one person and the examples should be specific to that recommender only. I hope to receive these drafts as soon as possible.
