A work experience letter, also known as a certificate of experience or employment letter, is an official document provided by an employer to an employee upon leaving a job. It includes:
- Employment Tenure: Dates of employment.
- Performance Details: Overview of job responsibilities and performance.
- Position: Should be in the related field as the applied program.
This letter serves as proof of work experience and is often required when a candidate has a low CGPA or is applying for interdisciplinary programs. For master's degree applications, typically more than 3 years of experience is needed, and for PhD applications, more than 5 years is generally required.
