Why You'll Love It
- Made for Indian freshers: sections for CGPA, Class X and XII marks, projects, internships and certifications — with Indian English spelling and A4 pages.
- Six layouts for six kinds of student: Engineering and IT, Commerce and BBA, MBA, Arts and Science, Projects-Led, and a Minimal layout for students with fewer projects or internships.
- Two editions of every layout: an ATS-safe file (no photo) for online portals, and a photo edition for campus drives, walk-ins and printed copies.
- Built for the way portals read: the ATS-safe files use one column, real Word heading styles, real bullet lists and standard fonts — no text boxes, tables, icons, images or headers/footers.
- Works with free tools: open the files in Word, Word for the web or LibreOffice, or upload the .docx to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs.
- A guide that helps you write: what to include in each section, a career-objective template, project and internship bullet examples for B.Tech, B.Com, MBA and B.Sc./B.A. students, and a placement-day checklist.
What's Included
- 12 resume files (.docx): 6 layouts × 2 editions (ATS-safe and with photo), all one page in A4

Pick Your Layout
- Engineering and IT — technical skills, projects, internship and certifications first. For B.Tech, BCA, MCA and IT roles.
- Commerce and BBA — internship, academic projects, tools such as Tally and Excel, and certifications. For accounting, finance and business roles.
- MBA — profile summary, summer internship, cases and leadership. For MBA and PGDM placements.
- Arts and Science — research internship, projects, skills and volunteering. For B.A. and B.Sc. graduates.
- Projects-Led — key projects before education. For hands-on students in any branch.
- Minimal — a clean, simple page with more white space. For students with fewer projects or internships.
ATS-Safe File or Photo Edition?
Use the ATS-safe files for company career pages, job portals and campus portals. Use the photo editions for campus drives, walk-ins, printed copies and direct emails where a photo is customary. The photo editions place a small placeholder picture beside your name using a simple table, so they are not meant for online portals. If you are not sure, send the ATS-safe file.
Who Is This For?
- Final-year and recent graduates in B.Tech, BCA, MCA, B.Com, BBA, B.Sc., B.A., MBA and PGDM.
- Students preparing for campus placements and internship applications.
- Off-campus applicants writing their first resume for a first job.
- Parents and mentors helping a student build a clear one-page resume.
- Anyone who wants a simple resume format for freshers with no work experience.

What a Fresher Resume Should Include
- A 1–2 line career objective that names your degree, one strength and the role you want.
- Education with CGPA or percentage, Class XII and Class X — newest first, in one consistent format.
- Your best 2–3 projects with tools, your role and a result.
- Any internship or training, with what you did and what changed.
- Skills grouped by type, plus a few relevant certifications and achievements.
Practice varies by company and sector, so always follow the instructions in the job posting or drive notice.
ATS-Friendly, Explained Honestly
"ATS-friendly" here means the structure of the ATS-safe files avoids the things most often blamed for parsing errors: multiple columns, text boxes, tables used for layout, text inside images, icons in place of words, and contact details tucked into headers. Employers use many different systems, so no template can promise a particular result — and none can promise a job or an interview. What this pack gives you is a clean starting point and a simple test to check your own finished file.
Digital Use & Software
- This is a digital download — nothing is shipped.
- Files are .docx (compatible with Word and Google Docs) and PDF. A free Google or Microsoft account is enough.
- Personal-use licence for your own job applications. Please don't share, resell or redistribute the files.
- Editing is easiest on a laptop or computer; the Word and Google Docs phone apps can also open the files.
Questions, Answered
Is one page enough for a fresher?
Yes. Recruiters at campus drives skim, and one page is the norm for freshers. Every layout in this pack is one page.
Should freshers add Class X and XII marks on a resume?
Include them when the employer or drive asks, or when a cutoff matters. Use one consistent format (CGPA out of 10, or percentage) and make sure it matches your marksheets.
Should I put a photo on my resume in India?
It depends on the employer. Many do not require one. Use the ATS-safe files for online portals and the photo editions where a photo is customary, such as printed copies at a campus drive.
Do I need a career objective?
It is optional, but one or two specific lines help. Skip generic sentences and name the role you want. The guide includes a template and an example.
What is the best resume format for freshers with no experience?
A single-page, reverse-chronological layout that leads with a short objective, then education, projects, any internship or training, skills and achievements. If your best proof is projects, use the Projects-Led layout.
Does it work in Google Docs?
Yes. Upload the .docx to Google Drive, right-click it and choose Open with Google Docs. Calibri, Cambria and Arial are available in Google Docs. Check that your resume stays on one page.
Is it really ATS-friendly?
The ATS-safe files use one column, real headings, real bullets, standard fonts and no text boxes, tables, images or headers/footers — the elements most often blamed for parsing errors. Employers use different systems, so the pack includes a copy-paste test you can run on your finished resume.
Can I use it if I am not from engineering?
Yes. Layouts for commerce and BBA, MBA, arts and science, projects-led and minimal profiles are included.
Will this get me a job or a placement?
No template can promise that. This pack helps your resume read cleanly and in the right order. The content still needs to fit the role you are applying for.
Is this a physical product?
No — it's a digital download. You receive a ZIP file with editable Word files and PDFs. Nothing is shipped.
