How Sneha’s resume is built
Section order and length
Sneha Kulkarni, a fictional B.Com graduate from Pune, has six months of articleship and no full-time job, so Education leads the page in Fresher. Her degree line gives the class and percentage, first class with 78%, and the papers that matter for accounts work. Everything fits on one A4 page. The India format allows a date of birth, which this sample includes.
Bullets from short experience
An internship bullet should name the work and count it. Sneha's articleship bullets name the actual returns, GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, for 15 small-business clients, and give a volume for audit work: 1,200 entries vouched across two statutory audits. That reads as real practice to an audit firm.
College work counts
Treat a college role as a project. As fest treasurer she managed a ₹6 lakh budget for 2,000 visitors and closed with a 9% surplus, which is a finance result. Certifications with dates, such as Tally Prime with GST, show the tools are recent.
Commerce graduate (fresher) resume questions
Should a fresher's resume include percentage or CGPA?
Yes, if it is good or the employer asks for it. Put it in the education detail line, as the sample does.
Is date of birth needed on an Indian resume?
It is often included in India but not required. The India format shows the field; leave it blank if you prefer not to share it.
Do Tally or Excel certificates matter?
For accounts trainee roles they help show you can start work quickly. List them with the issuer and date, and also show the skill in a bullet.
How long should a fresher's resume be?
One page. If you run over, cut school-level details first.
