Help the teachers write a recommendation letter for you
It is a common practise in India for teachers to ask the students to write the recommendation letter on their own. Teachers modify the letter and attest it with their signature. This surely is not the actual purpose of a recommendation letter.
This is not entirely the teacher’s fault according to me. Teachers are overwhelmed with a bunch of requests for recommendation letters. The students typically give minimal or no information about themselves. They simply go to the teacher an year or two after finishing their college and smile at the teacher asking for an excellent letter that praises them. How can the teacher help you if he/she doesn’t recollect any specific things about you? You can’t expect the teachers to keep a note of all the hundreds of students they teach every year.

Tips to choose an engineering college [For parents only]
This article helps you know whether the college chosen by you is a right fit for your ward.
It’s a parents’ choice
In India, the selection of engineering college is parents decision. Students don’t decide which college they want to join. At the age of 18, having just finished their 12th, they don’t have enough maturity to choose a college to study engineering. Nor do they have sufficient financial authority to take independent decisions. So parents take an active role during this time. It is entirely parents’ responsibility to find the right college for their ward. So this article is dedicated to the Indian parents searching colleges for their children. Continue reading

Keka Tip for polishing your SOP
Wondering what word KEKA is? Well, it’s a word borrowed from a South Indian language –Telugu. Keka is a superlative degree of the adjective – Awesome. So you might have guessed by now that I’m giving away an awesome tip for polishing SOP.
