Frequently Asked Questions
Should I include my CGPA/GPA on my resume?
Yes, if your CGPA is 7.0/10 or higher. Many campus recruiters use CGPA as a screening criterion (common cutoffs: 6.5–7.0). If your CGPA is below 7.0 but you have strong projects or internships, you can skip it—but be prepared to discuss it in interviews.
What if I don't have any internship experience?
Focus on projects, coursework, and extracurriculars. Academic projects can demonstrate the same skills as internships. Also highlight: online certifications, freelance work, club leadership, hackathons, or volunteer experience. ResumeGyani's AI helps you write strong bullets even with zero work experience.
How many projects should I include?
2–3 significant projects are ideal for a one-page resume. Choose projects that: (1) use technologies relevant to the job, (2) solve real problems, and (3) have quantifiable results. Quality over quantity—one impressive project beats five mediocre ones.
Should I include hobbies and interests?
Only if space permits and they're relevant. If your hobby demonstrates a skill (e.g., 'Blogging about tech—500+ readers'), include it. Generic hobbies like 'reading' or 'traveling' don't add value. Use that space for projects or skills instead.
What are the most important skills for campus placements?
For Tech: Programming (Java, Python, C++), Data Structures & Algorithms, Problem Solving, Git/GitHub. For Non-Tech: Communication, MS Excel (Advanced), Problem Solving, Leadership, Analytical Thinking. Universal: Teamwork, Adaptability, Time Management, Attention to Detail.
Is ResumeGyani free for college students?
Yes. Free features include resume editor, previews, AI suggestions, and 50+ student templates. Download from as little as ₹199. Much cheaper than consultants (₹1,000–3,000) or Naukri services (₹800+).
