[Sanya Jain - Your Grad Coach @yourgradcoach]

What is a professor actually looking for in your PhD cover letter? When I read one, I’m usually trying to answer four questions very quickly.

Why me?
Not “I am interested in your research.” Show me that you know what my lab is currently working on. One recent paper, one research problem, one specific connection is usually enough.

Why you?
Don’t give me your entire CV. Show me the 1 or 2 experiences that make you useful for this project. If your experience is in analysing longitudinal clinical data, tell me that when my project requires exactly that. Make the transferability obvious.

Why this research question?
This is where I look for evidence that you’ve actually thought about the science. What did your previous work make you curious about? What limitation did you encounter? What relationship or assumption would you like to investigate further?

Why should I believe you can do it?
This comes from specifics. A methodological decision you made. A problem you solved. An unexpected result you interpreted. A technique you didn’t just learn, but actually used to answer a research question.

By the end, I should be able to summarise your letter in one sentence:

“This person has worked on X, understands Y, and could contribute to Z in my lab.”

If I can’t do that, the letter probably needs restructuring, regardless of how polished the writing is.

That’s also how I review cover letters with my mentees. We strip away the generic language and rebuild the letter around what the PI needs to understand about you within the first minute.

If you want me to do that with yours, DM me “COVER” to explore how we can work together to supercharge your applications.

@abcapital @irdaindia Given the widely reported concerns and poor customer perception around claim settlements, this kind of handling only reinforces that perception.

[Harshit Singh @Harshit8182]

@abcapital, I have experienced extremely frustrating and absurd way to handle insurance claim from your side. Rejecting a claim by simply citing “discrepancies and lapses” even when everything is accurately filled is unacceptable. @irdaindia

[Harshit Singh @Harshit8182]

@abcapital @irdaindia People pay insurance premiums precisely so they can get support during difficult times. My claim was rejected despite submission of all required medical documents. Please look into this matter asap.

Niti Ayog report on ethanol policy roadmap, published than removed. ARAI testing report not in public domain, confidential. The SIAM report on fuel pump contamination published by a website. Deleted.
It's becoming clear that there is no problem with our ethanol blending policy. The nation must accept it without question. If you love India, energy security, environment, you must have faith in god and the government. This conspiracy of speaking up must stop.

Come and celebrate 50 years of this wonderful experiment where Marx met Walras, Keynes met Friedman, where Kalecki is never out of fashion. A department which has had best of both worlds — heterodox and mainstream economics.

[Harshit Singh @Harshit8182]

@DinaPomeranz If you think it is disputed then you need to make a dotted line there. you have shown it completely in other country's territory. Whatever happened, let it be. Now I expect you to make corrections in further lectures.

Thankyou:)

[Harshit Singh @Harshit8182]

@DinaPomeranz PoK and Aksai Chin both are inalienable part of India and you have shown them outside India.
Refer the map attached below.
I respect you and your teaching but the maps needs to be correct.
