What India recruiters expect
Indian CVs (Resume / CV / Bio-data) follow modified British + South Asian convention. 1-2 pages for tech / private sector reverse-chronological; up to 3 pages for academia / public sector / senior leadership. Ministry of Labour and Employment (labour.gov.in) + National Career Service (ncs.gov.in) + Directorate General of Employment + EPFO portal serve as primary public channels. English is the dominant business language across IT services / global capability centres / banking / consulting / multinationals; Hindi for some public-sector + government roles; regional languages (Tamil / Bengali / Marathi / Telugu / Kannada / Gujarati / Punjabi / Malayalam etc.) optional. Photo + DOB + marital status + nationality historically common but increasingly omitted for senior / IT / diaspora roles under the Equal Remuneration Act + the Constitution Article 16. Religion + caste must NEVER appear (constitutional). PAN / Aadhaar NEVER on a public CV. Career Objective for freshers; Professional Summary for 3+ years. Quantified achievements + tech stack (IT roles) + IIT / IIM / Tier-1 institution branding all carry signal. Date format DD-MM-YYYY (DD/MM/YYYY also common). Strong outbound corridor to US (H-1B intake), UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Gulf, Singapore, New Zealand.
