What campus recruiters look for

Campus recruiters often screen hundreds of resumes through an ATS portal before a human ever sees them.

01

Clean, ATS-safe formatting

Placement portals often auto-parse resumes — tables and columns can scramble your data.

02

CGPA and branch clearly visible

Many companies filter first by CGPA cutoff and branch — make both easy to find.

03

Skills matched to company JD

Tailor your top skills line to each company's specific job description during placement season.

Hiding CGPA or branch in small text

Make these details easy to spot — some companies filter by them within seconds.

Submitting the same resume to every company

Adjust your top skills line slightly to match each company's specific job description.
