India Government Job Resume & Biodata Format (2026)

Government and PSU applications often need a structured biodata plus a concise resume. Match the notification: education, category certificate details, and work history in chronological order.

Resume vs biodata for sarkari jobs in India?

Many notifications provide a prescribed format — use it exactly. When a general resume is allowed: simple font, no graphics, include qualification table, date of birth (if asked), address, and experience with government/project names where permitted.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use the same resume for SSC and private jobs?

No — follow each notification's format. Private jobs need shorter, ATS-focused resumes without extra personal fields.

2. Should I attach certificates in the resume PDF?

Usually upload separately per portal instructions. Keep the resume/biodata text clean and scannable.

3. Are photos mandatory for government forms?

Often yes on the application form, not always in the experience CV. Read the official PDF carefully.
