- Contact Info: Email, phone, LinkedIn (if you have one), city
❌ Don't Include
- ❌Photo: Unless specifically asked (Indian biodata format), skip the photo for most jobs
- ❌Personal Details: Age, marital status, religion, caste - completely unnecessary and unprofessional
- ❌High School Info: Once you're in college, high school details are irrelevant
- ❌Fancy Designs: Colorful graphics, charts, icons look nice but ATS systems reject them
- ❌Objective Statements: "Seeking opportunity to grow" - Everyone knows that! Use a summary instead
- ❌Lies: Never fake experience or skills. You WILL get caught in the interview

Frequently Asked Questions
I have no work experience. Can I still make a resume?
Absolutely! Students aren't expected to have work experience. Focus on: college projects, internships (even short ones), volunteering, extracurriculars, certifications, and relevant coursework. These show your skills and potential!
How long should a student resume be?
Keep it to 1 page. Students rarely need 2 pages. If you have 0-2 years of experience, 1 page is perfect. Recruiters spend just 6 seconds scanning resumes - keep it concise!
Should I include my GPA/percentage?
Include it if it's good (70%+ or 7+ CGPA). If it's average or low, skip it and focus on projects, skills, and achievements instead. Most recruiters don't emphasize grades for freshers.
What if I don't have any certifications?
That's okay! Focus on what you DO have: projects, coursework, extracurriculars. But consider doing free online courses (Google, Coursera, Udemy) - you can complete one in 1-2 weeks and add it to your resume!
Is ResumeGyani really free for students?
Yes! You can build and download your resume completely free. We offer a paid plan (₹49-₹499) for premium features like AI suggestions and multiple templates, but the basic resume builder is 100% free forever.
Can I edit my resume after downloading it?
Yes! Your resume is saved in your account. You can log back in anytime, edit it, and download a fresh copy. Keep it updated as you gain new skills or complete new projects!
Quick Tips for Student Resumes
Lead with Education
