LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FOR ABU NASER RASHID REZA It is my immense pleasure to recommend one of my best students, Abu Naser

Rashid Reza, into your M.Sc. program for the next coming academic year. He has recently completed his undergraduate studies with CGPA of 3.38 out of 4.00 in the department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering (MME), Bangladesh university of Engineering and Technology (BUET). He is personally known to me as I was one of his course teachers during his undergraduate level of studies and I had a good opportunity to observe his academic excellence, inquisitiveness, analytical ability, creativity and potentials as a prospective researcher. He secured his admission in Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology through a highly competitive admission test where only a fraction of the top students from Bangladesh get a chance to compete and the very best students get selected. In his undergraduate studies he has shown a moderate quality in every semester. So it obvious that the academic records of Reza in his undergraduate level and even in the earlier years were consistently in the top tier among the students of this country. Moreover his capacity to analyze and synthesize engineering problems has contributed greatly to the success of his thesis on Titania Stabilized Alumina Ceramic Cutting Tool in which he got highest grade 4.0 in the scale of 4.0. Although the Department of the Varsity has recommended him to complete his M.Sc. in our varsity without mandatory qualifying examination, he has determined to face higher challenges and competitions internationally. I believe with your renowned faculties he will progress his knowledge and will move up to a professional level. According to my judgment he has research aptitude and potential to perform advanced research in his pursued field. I recommend him positively for any possible financial assistance in the form of R.A. / T.A. / Fellowship/ Scholarship in your institution. In conclusion, I would highly recommend Reza for this academic program. If his performance in my class is any indication of how he will succeed, Reza will be a positive addition to the program. If you should need any additional information you can feel free to contact me at anytime. I wish him success in all aspects of his life.
