What should a student resume include?
Campus recruiters and internship managers in India scan a student resume for three things: the degree and current CGPA, hands-on proof such as projects or internships, and tools the candidate can already use. A one-page layout with a sharp summary, quantified project lines and relevant coursework beats a long list of hobbies or school-level achievements every time.
Skills recruiters look for:
- Programming fundamentals
- Spreadsheet analysis
- Academic research and literature review
- Project documentation
- Survey design and data collection
From our sample resumes:
- Riya’s follower growth from 900 to 4,300 turns a student volunteer role into measurable marketing work, which is exactly what an internship screener wants to see.
- Aditya’s internship bullets quote response times and test coverage, so a hiring engineer can judge real technical depth instead of reading a list of languages.
