How do you convince a university that you are a worthy candidate? One of the best places to start is in your application letter and C.V. or resume; which form part of the documents that are required by colleges, to give admissions officer a sense of who you are.

Here are some tips from braingainmag.com’s session at The Imperial Hotel in New Delhi this February, with Adobe India Product Specialist Abhishek Mukherjee.

• In your application cover letter, list out your talents and the skills most important to the course you are applying to.


• Be specific about what you want from the college in question, and what you can bring to it in turn


• Focus on what makes you as a candidate different from anyone else. Have you completed a project that got you extra credit? Throw it in  


• Completed an internship with an organization no one else has worked for? Write about it. Make sure to highlight how unique you are.

The Minor Details:

• Make your C.V. mobile-friendly so you can pull it out anywhere and present it to people when needed.


• Don’t forget to list you education to date. Too many people forget this!


• Check for spelling errors!
