A letter of Recommendation is authentication by the professor, Head of the Department (HOD), or company manager for the student applying for higher studies abroad. LOR is an important document in the application process that you need to submit.
What are the different types of letters of Recommendation?
For Students: If you are in the final year of studies:
1 LOR from HOD, 1 LOR from Associate Professor, and 1 LOR from the Project Guide.
For Working Professionals:
1 LOR from HOD, 1 LOR from Project Guide, and 1 LOR from the previous company Supervisor.
Note: Try to avoid LOR requests from the current company supervisor.
11 Pointers for the best Letter of Recommendations (LOR):
1. Identify your recommender: Once the university shortlist is done as per the course. Start identifying your recommender and discuss applying to universities for higher education.
2. Connect Early – Connect immediately with the recommender and give ample time for brainstorming.
3. Inform the recommender of the online and offline process of submitting the LORs.
4. The first paragraph should be highly enthusiastic.
It is with pride and gratification that I am recommending XXXXXXXXXXXX for admittance to the Master’s program at your esteemed university.
5. The recommender should showcase the designation/authority/capacity with the recommendee.
As the professor and Head of the Biotechnology department, I have known her for four years while she was my student at XXXXXXXX College of Engineering, Bangalore.
6. Create a connection with the student to make it impactful.
I have come to know her quite well, having interacted with her in consecutive semesters and it is with happiness that I note that she has chosen to continue her studies.
7. Explain the subjects taught, and the student strengths/weaknesses/projects/performance in the class/extracurricular activities.
8. In addition to the above the teamwork/leadership abilities/positive attitude/interpersonal skills and position in the class should also mention.
9. Inspire/Motivate the admissions committee for selecting the student by giving positive affirmations.
10. The signature should mention the Full Name, Designation, Department, College Name & Address with Contact details, and website.
11. The online LORs are almost the same as recommender contact, email, and address (always mention the official address, no home address).

Steps For SOP/LOR Writing Services at MSMBASOP: We require a turnaround time of 2-3 days between each round of review to ensure that we do justice to the client's essays.
Please stick to the schedule that is mutually agreed upon with us – if the client misses any of the intermediate milestones, the company is not under any obligation to continue the engagement, and will not be responsible for the consequences, including a missed deadline.
Please honor deadlines.
We work during business hours 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM on all weekdays from Monday to Friday. Saturdays and Sundays are our weekly off. But client's call with an external consultant can be at any time of the day, any day of the week. This will be mutually agreed upon by you and the consultant.
Any queries sent to us will be answered within 2 business days. We will also provide the client with a mobile number in case he/she needs to call/SMS for a quick question.
We put in the best of our abilities to ensure that clients' essays are perfect and we expect you to show the same level of commitment. Please put in your best efforts to write his/her essays. Disregarding feedback or sending us half-baked essays is highly discouraging –that said, you are welcome to discuss the feedback with us in case the client feels otherwise.
Please send us your resume/essays as Word documents in .doc format. Put all your essays into a single document, clearly mentioning which B-School they pertain to, along with the specific essay questions and word limits.
You have the final authority on accepting or rejecting the feedback based on what we have said. If we feel your point of view is better –we will respect your decision. Consider us as a sounding board!
The feedback we provide will be very lucid and often, self-explanatory. So please help us keep the telephonic review conversations to less than 1 hour each time.
We will have to politely turn down any additional requests beyond the promised 2 rounds of review. We would love to help more but we work on a very tight schedule and it would be unfair to our other customers who require as much time and devotion as you do! If the Client feels he/she needs more time, or rounds of revision, do let us know –we can do it at a reasonable rate that will justify the extra time spent.
