Excellent presentation, easy to read.

Some minor points: The Educational Profile and Extra and Co-Curricular Activities need to mesh a bit more closely.

1. Dates: Student Network Assistant "Till date" should be replaced with "current".

2. Educational Profile: Show locations, and dates. You have the Karunya University listed with a location in Extra and Co-Curricular Activities, just move the location to the Educational Profile.

3 Sri Krishna and VLB Janakiammal College are shown in Extra and Co-Curricular Activities, clarify attendance situation.

4. NCC 'B' Certificate; Spell out your course, attendance, etc.

This is mainly filling in likely questions. The idea is a clear track of educational attendances, which you've almost achieved.

Please excuse a slightly nitpicking approach, but you do have things there in the Extra and Co-Curricular Activities that need to show clearly the extent of your studies, which is obviously considerable.

As a writer, I can tell you that the amount of verbiage required for someone to absorb information is variable.

Too much really is overdoing it, but too little always creates a series of issues for the reader. There needs to be enough text for people to get oriented, and follow the logic of the information.

Where you make a reference to a qualification, you need to spell out where it was acquired, and when.

So your NCC 'B' was obtained at so and so college, such and such year.

This is mainly for continuity purposes, and it meshes with your educational profile.

If this is for real... Maybe they do things differently over there, but it seems to me you have way too much irrelevant information. Picture? Age? Complete GPA history? Parents? The format is very busy and makes for difficult reading.

Try to keep the main focus on accomplishments and skills.
