FAQ

What projects help an electrical engineering fresher?

Hardware you built and tested: inverters, motor controllers, BMS, IoT systems, with measured results.

Do PSU applications need a different resume?

PSU recruitment is mostly GATE-score based, but the interview panel reads your resume; keep projects and training prominent.

Should I list software tools?

Yes, with the project each was used on.
