Frequently asked questions
Should an engineer list every project?
No. Pick two or three that match the job and give each a result or a tool used. Long project lists hide your strongest work.
Is CGPA or percentage required?
For freshers, yes, as many companies set a cut-off. Experienced engineers can move marks lower and lead with achievements.
