Undergraduate students can take LORs from their teachers, project guides, internship supervisor, coaches, club advisors, employers, and mentors. The recommender must be someone who has known the student from close quarters, has taught/ guided him, can comment on his strengths and qualities and support the same with evidences.

There are a few major red flags that can diminish your LOR's effectiveness. The most popular ones include vague statements such as "She is a good student" without evidence, or copy-paste LORs that use generic content for several students. Spelling errors, inconsistent formatting, or sudden tone shifts (e.g., formal to informal) also harm credibility. Excessive praise without evidence is also a flag, which might well generate suspicion. The best LORs are honest, detailed, and backed by real examples. Avoid these traps ahead of time by making your recommender's task easier by offering the template, examples, and your achievements to work

Yes, the LOR must be formal but truthful, and must always be submitted in the third person. Example: "I taught Akshay during his third-year AI course, and was impressed with his research interest and discussion leadership potential." Avoid speaking in stiff third-person tone and leaping to blunt second-person declarations such as "you did well in my class." It's also significant that the LOR is personal and customized, not robotic or pasted. Incorporating real-life anecdotes, project names, or attributes makes it more likely to be remembered. Make your recommender write naturally but with clarity and organization.

That's perfectly okay—it happens more than you would think. Professors are generally quite busy and may appreciate if you present them with a structure or a rough draft to enable them. You can even present this LOR format article or even give them bullet points about your work to them—like your resume, transcript, projects, and accomplishments. Some institutions also allow you to write the LOR yourself for the recommender to sign and authenticate, although we would caution using that option with care. It is about communicating respectfully with the professor and streamlining the process for them without compromising on authenticity
