Statement of Purpose (SOP)

One of the primary documents required for any university applications is the Statement of Purpose (SOP) which is also called referred to as SOP, Letter of Motivation or Statement of Intent. SOP is one of the most important documents required for admissions.

The Statement of Purpose must focus on:

• Overview about Yourself
• Educational Qualification
• Academic Achievement
• Projects / Research in the chosen field
• Employment Experience
• Areas of interest like Hobbies, Sports, Social or Leisure
• Career Goals / Ambitions / Expectations

You can draft your SOP which should be a maximum of 1 to 2 pages with 250 -350 words. The Statement of Purpose must be in good English without spelling and grammatical mistakes.

To strengthen your application, The Visa Spot would review the SOPs, evaluate the content, suggest changes and make it more effective, resulting in a higher success rate.

Letter of Recommendation (LOR)

Letter of Recommendation is popularly known as LOR or Letter of Reference. It plays a vital role in admission decisions. The format of Letter of recommendation differs from University to University.

While some may require in the referee's Letter head, some may need only in their respective forms and some institutes may ask for direct mails from the referee's email. As a University representative we suggest right format to the students.

The process of getting the Letter of Recommendation (LOR) are:

• Normally, two to three LOR's are required.
• If you are fresher you can get all LORs from your school or college where you have studied.
• You can get it from your Class teachers, Principal or Director or anyone who are authorized to issue this letter.
• If you are employed, you must get one or two LOR's from your superiors or employers.

It should be in the official letter head containing name (with surname) of the person who issues this letter, his designation, complete postal address, direct contact numbers and official Email Ids.

The Visa Spot makes sure that the documents are accurate according to the university standards.

Medium of Instruction (MOE) Certificate

The Medium of Instruction certification is an important document required for admissions to universities. It serves as proof that the student has completed his entire degree in English.
