| Sections | 20 | Clear headings for Education, Projects, Skills and Internships or experience. |
| Length | 10 | One page: roughly 200–700 words for a fresher. |
| Results with numbers | 20 | Project and internship lines that show users, %, time saved or rank. |
| Action words | 15 | Lines that start with what you did: built, designed, automated, improved. |
| No outdated filler | 10 | No objective, declaration, date of birth, parents' names or 'hardworking team player'. |
| CGPA or percentage | 5 | Your score shown next to your degree. |
| Dates | 5 | Month and year on your degree, projects and internships. |

Five mistakes that cost fresher resumes the most
Mistake“Career Objective”
WhyRecruiters skip it. Your projects say more about what you want.
MistakeDeclaration and signature
Why“I hereby declare…” was for paper forms. It wastes your best space.
MistakeFather's name, date of birth, marital status
WhyNot needed for hiring, and they push your projects down the page.
Mistake“Worked on a project”
WhySay what you built and what changed: “Built X used by 200 students.”
MistakeTwo or three pages
WhyOne page. Freshers rarely have more than one page of strong material.
