TL;DR:
Education - college, degree, year of graduation.
Work Experience/Volunteer Experience in college (if any) - the role you played, the impact you made.
Projects you’ve built - and a link to the code on GitHub/any other platform OR deployed link version of your project. (e.g.,/ link to the deployed website you built) + tech stack you used.
Skills - don’t mention percent levels. You can’t measure skill proficiency percentage. You can divide them up into categories - beginner, medium, advanced.
Accomplishments (if any) - you can mention stuff like one of 20 people selected from 7000 applicants worldwide. (to understand how big the achievement actually is)
Contact and socials - GitHub (or Kaggle if you’re into ML), Email, Phone No., Portfolio Website, LinkedIn, and Twitter. (mention blog platforms too if write blogs)
