Tips that make a difference
- Put skills and projects above extra-curriculars — that's what engineering recruiters screen for.
- Link your GitHub and make sure the top repositories have a README.
- For core branches (Mech, Civil, EEE), name the software you know: AutoCAD, SolidWorks, ANSYS, MATLAB.
- Mirror keywords from the job description, only where they are true for you.
- Keep one resume per role type: software, core, analyst.

Build this resumeFrequently asked questions
What CGPA should I mention on a B.Tech resume?+
Mention your actual CGPA. If a company has a cut-off, hiding it doesn't help; strong projects and skills make up for an average score.
How many projects should a B.Tech fresher list?+
Two to four good projects with clear results beat eight shallow ones.
Is a two-column resume okay for campus placement?+
Many placement cells ask for a specific format. For off-campus applications through job portals, a single-column resume is safest for ATS.
