Although universities may not provide any specific word counts for LORs, it is advised to create a letter of recommendation for around 300-500 words. The LOR must have 4-5 paragraphs, including introduction and conclusion. At least 2-3 traits must be highlighted along with suitable examples to improve the credibility of the information. If you are applying for any specific specialisation such as electrical engineering and you refer to lor samples for MS in electrical engineering, you are advised to not blindly follow the word count and limit your response to a one A4 size page for an LOR.
