Letter of Recommendation Computer Science department
As the Head of Computer Science department, it gives me immense pleasure to pen down a recommendation letter for an ambitious student like Sarang Metkar. A hardworking and intelligent student with an excellent grasping power is how I will describe Sarang. My association with him as a final year project guide is sufficient to gauge his intellectual capability and state his suitability for the graduate program from your University. His never-ending quench for acquiring knowledge on new technologies was exhibited while working with him on his final year project.
It was sponsored by Persistent Systems Ltd. They had a requirement to develop a web browser for directory servers like SunONE DS, IBM IDS and OpenLDAP, with LDAP as a communication protocol. His team showed a great perseverance in understanding the new concepts like LDAP and Directory Server. Impressed by the depth of knowledge they have acquired, I asked his team to present a seminar on LDAP and directory server to our college`s post-graduate students. He has an excellent presentation and communication skills with a clear understanding of concepts and can articulate his ideas effectively.
He effectively coordinated communication with external project guide and maintained a proper document to track the requirements. He was prompt in suggesting different approaches to meet the requirements and equally flexible to incorporate any suggested changes. He was punctual and never hesitated to put more efforts to complete his task. His work was highly appreciated and earned him an offer to work as a Software Engineer in sponsoring company. Sarang consistently exceeded in all areas of his coursework and was amongst top 5% in the department.
Owing to his excellent academic record, he was awarded merit scholarship for all four years. He also displayed a good interest in co-curricular activities and represented our college in various programming and quiz competition. Speaking of his leadership skill and organizing ability, he successfully coordinated a state-level Technical event named ‘Equinox’. He single handedly managed a C-programming competition, called ‘C-Netics’, in our Department which was a huge success. . He volunteered National-level workshops on “Emerging Trends in IT” and different chapters of Computer Society of India(CSI) conducted in our college.
When elected as a ‘Class Representative’, he effectively discharged his duty of coordinating, managing and encouraging student participation. He possesses the intelligence and capacity for sustained hard work to ace the toughest program. By virtue of his strong academic foundation, he has developed the necessary aptitude, attitude and passion for pursuing the graduate education. In view of his inherent potential, strong determination and persistence, I believe that he will scale the highest peaks in his fields of interest and strongly endorse his application for admission to your esteemed institution with financial aid.
