Hello Patrick,

The way placements work in India is that a profile sheet is sent by a B-School to recruiters with details/accomplishments of all the students in that course. Then the recruiter shortlists some folks, comes on campus, does a few rounds of group discussions and tests (elimination rounds) followed by a few rounds of interviews.

This is the standard CV format for my B-School, would be helpful if you elaborate where you think the problem is in the layout.

Why GS selected me, well getting into my B-School was difficult, and my UG course was commerce so I was more comfortable with finance than my engineering peers. Some luck, some timing advantage, perhaps.

 

I think make it a little more clear in the job titles that you were an intern or summer analyst, bullets look pretty good. Try not to use the same beginnings, change "was part of" to "member of" or something for one of those. I wouldn't make certain words bold either, or write "9 months" or the duration of assignment outside of just the dates.

Well I understood where you anon colleges you attended right from your project activities and from the entire resume. In no way I am an expert but I have posted a similar one in WSO and from the entire criticism I have received for post, I think you have to spice it up to make it look like you were the team leader ( but don't write shit which you didn't do just to spice it up ), for example "Extensively read" in the GS summer intern section can be substituted as something punch-y like Researched which makes it look like you did some real job rather than just going through it. The template doesn't look organized to me ( or its just different from what I see on everyday basis ).

Try to be specific about your GS summer internship or summer analyst just like what it is said by guggroth93. The probability of an Indian banker dude seeing this profile here will be less than qualifying JEE, so good luck with that. The best thing I could say is that there will be EY TAS veteran who went to Investment Banking after getting a CFA while working at EY. IBs in India loves CA peeps but a decent MBA can substitute that. So the best bet will be networking with people who worked with EY and now working at the place you want to work.

Good Luck
