Request for LOR

Letter of Recommendation (LOR): A Few Guidelines

Students seeking a recommendation letter from me must carefully review the following criteria before making a request:

• Have you completed any courses with me in any format (offline/online)?

• Did you conduct your final-year thesis (research) under my supervision?

• Have you worked as a teaching assistant (TA) for any of my courses?

• Have you engaged in any research or professional activities with me?

• Do you have any publications with me?

• Have you participated in any voluntary activities (e.g., speaker, instructor, ambassador, team member, etc.) for BRWF or BRBD?

Important Note: To ensure timely and thoughtful preparation of your LOR, please provide a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice when submitting your request via email. Requests with shorter notice may not be accommodated due to my current obligations.

If the answers to all these questions are negative, I kindly request that you refrain from requesting a letter from me. However, if you meet at least two of the criteria (or one accepted), you are eligible to request up to three (03) LORs (soft copy/online) from me per term.

To initiate the request, please follow the procedure below:

1️⃣ Send an email with the subject:
"Request for Recommendation Letter for <Your Name>"
Email Address: sabir.cse@cuet.ac.bd

2️⃣ Include the following information in the email body:

• Recommendation Type:
  (Hardcopy/Softcopy/Online; note that hardcopy is unavailable as I am currently staying outside Bangladesh.)

3️⃣ Don’t forget to attach the following documents to your email:
