Engineering Fresher Resume Template (B.Tech / B.E.)
Engineering hiring — campus drives, off-campus tests, core and IT companies — screens on branch, CGPA cut-offs, technical skills and projects. This template puts those exactly where recruiters and ATS look, with a final-year project section that reads like real work.
Best for: B.Tech / B.E. graduates from any branch (CSE, IT, ECE, EEE, Mechanical, Civil) applying to IT services, product companies or core engineering roles.
Best resume format: Education + projects first
Branch, college and CGPA up front (many drives filter on cut-offs), then final-year and personal projects with tech stack and results, internships, then grouped technical skills.
Recommended section order
- Contact details + GitHub/portfolio
- Objective
- Education (branch, CGPA, 12th/10th %)
- Technical skills (grouped)
- Projects (with tech stack)
- Internships / industrial training
- Certifications
- Achievements (hackathons, coding ranks)
Length: One page.

How to write a engineering fresher resume
- Include 12th and 10th percentages — many campus and off-campus drives filter on them.
- Group technical skills: Languages · Frameworks · Tools · Core subjects.
- For each project, list the tech stack in a sub-line and one measurable result.
- Add coding-platform credentials if strong (LeetCode rating, CodeChef stars, HackerRank badges).
- Core-branch candidates: highlight software like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, MATLAB, ANSYS or PLC with a project that used it.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Listing every language you studied in first year.
- Projects with no description of your own contribution in a team.
- Missing GitHub or portfolio links for software roles.
- Mentioning backlogs or irrelevant personal details.
Summary examples

Engineering Fresher resume FAQ
Should I include 10th and 12th marks on a B.Tech resume?
+
Yes for campus and early off-campus hiring — many companies set percentage cut-offs. Add them as a single line under your degree.
How many projects should an engineering fresher list?
+
Two to four: your final-year project and one to three personal or internship projects that match the role, each with a tech stack line and a result.
What skills should a B.Tech fresher put on their resume?
+
The languages, frameworks and tools named in the job posting that you have used in projects — grouped by type — plus core subjects such as Data Structures, DBMS or Thermodynamics for core roles.
Is a GitHub link necessary?
+
For software roles, yes. Recruiters and technical interviewers often check it. Pin your best two or three repositories with clear READMEs.
What if I have no internship?
+
Lead with projects, training (NPTEL, industrial training) and achievements such as hackathons or coding contests. They demonstrate the same ability an internship would.
