Recommendations
“I had known Aishwarya since 2015 when she joined Masters in Psychology at the Banaras Hindu University, standing second in the order of merit at the national level University postgraduate entrance test. She has always been a diligent student. She is an awardee of two University Gold Medals and the prestigious Prof. M. M. Sinha Endowment Scholarship.
As her research supervisor, I have no hesitation in rating her among the top 3% of those I have worked with.
She actively looks forth to any opportunity that provides her with a platform to prove her capabilities. Moreover, she bears an analytical mind and has been helping me to understand the complex relationships emerging from the data we have collected so far for different studies.”

“I have known Aishwarya since 2013 as one of the top students in my ancillary Sociology class and a volunteer and leader of the NSS unit (MMV), of which I was the Programme Officer. She is mature, compassionate, extraordinarily competent, and possesses strong leadership and excellent social skills, as exemplified by her involvement in many organizations and activities at MMV. Her can-do approach and ability to manage highly demanding responsibilities with grace and diplomacy made her a valuable and vital asset to my team. Besides, her taking on all tasks with positive energy and a smile on her face earned her team members’ respect.
Aishwarya combines an outstanding blend of academic and intellectual knowledge about her field with a down-to-earth and realistic approach. She will be a value add to any organization she works with. I wish Aishwarya every success in the future.”
