Request for LOR

Letter of Recommendation (LOR): Guidelines

Students seeking a Letter of Recommendation (LOR) from me are requested to carefully review the following guidelines. Please note that a strong and meaningful LOR requires sufficient academic, research, or professional engagement.

Eligibility Criteria

Before making a request, please reflect on the following:

• Have you completed any course with me (offline/online)?

• Did you conduct your final-year thesis or 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 co-authored with me?

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

Important Eligibility Rule:

• If all answers are NO, please do not request an LOR.

• If you meet at least two criteria (or one substantial/exceptionally strong engagement), you may request up to three (03) LORs (soft copy/online) per term.

Important Note on Timeline (Strict)

Please contact me as early as possible regarding your LOR request.
There must be at least two (02) full weeks remaining before the LOR submission deadline at the time you add my name/email to the admission portal.

➡️ Requests with shorter notice will not be accommodated due to my current academic, research, and administrative commitments.
