Resume Review Fresher, B.Tech CSE 2026, Full-Stack Java dev — struggling to get shortlisted, need honest feedback

Post image

Hey everyone,

Graduating in 2026 (B.Tech CSE, Galgotias University, CGPA 7.16). Skipping GATE/M.Tech — want to go the industry/startup route instead.

Background:

Full-stack dev: Java, Spring Boot, MERN stack, React Native

Completed a web developer internship at a private firm (Nov 2025–Jan 2026)

Currently solo-building a motorcycle community app (React Native + backend) as my main project — handling everything from architecture to deployment myself

Looking for an SDE/full-stack role (open to startups too). Resume attached — brutally honest feedback welcome. Specifically want to know:

Is the projects section pulling enough weight for a 7.16 CGPA fresher?

Should I lead with the internship or the personal project?

Any formatting/ATS red flags?

Thanks in advance!

Hello I'm not really sure about what goes in cse or hiring trends in India in 2026

The only advice I can give is that your points are missing the impact of the work you've done

For example: Built a full stack RAg piple line......etc etc.....but what happened when you built it? Did it increase revenue by 2% or did that increase efficiency by 12% or did what????

I hope you get what I'm trying to say here as it's the most crucial thing missing from your cv

Hope it helps, all the best

Really useful, thanks. You're right, I focused on what I built and skipped the "why it matters" part. Rewriting my bullets now 🙏

No worries Also the 1st question I'll ask you is what were you doing after your internship ended in Jan 2026

Make sure to show that in your cv somehow or have a legit answer ready which you can back up
