<p>I think letters from professors are better, but it might depend on your major. What are you intending to study?</p>

<p>I am planning for Industrial Engineering/ Operations Research.</p>

<p>My work exp. is in line with my masters subject.</p>

<p>I found something from the MIT EECS FAQ that seems appropriate here. However, this directed to Ph.D. applicants so use your best judgement.</p>

18</a>. Since I have been in the work force for the last few years, it will be difficult to obtain all the letters of recommendation from faculty members. Is it OK to ask my employer/supervisors to write letters in support of my application?</p>

<p>In a case like this, we usually suggest that you submit at least one letter from a faculty member who knew you well–perhaps your undergraduate thesis supervisor. The other two letters can be from employers. When in doubt, remember that our Admissions Committee wants to know about your ability to do independent research. Character references do not carry weight.
