I am from India. Could someone please suggest that whether we have to include the school information apart from College information in the Education section of the resume?

Only college information is sufficient. There is no need of including school level information.

Thanks for the response. I have another question on the work experience section of the resume. Can we include the awards and recognitions that we have received while working in the resume? and where do we need to exactly mention it?

Yes, Awards and recognition are a very important part of your resume. They show what you have achieved while doing that sort of work.

Can we include school information if we have achieved something significant there?
For example- Can i include that I topped my District with Highest marks in Maths and Physics
Does this help in reflecting your quantitative aptitude

Or we shall not include school information at all....

Looking forward to your response

Hi there,
Your MBA candidate resume should focus on your professional and educational background, and highlight your achievements in these areas. The MBA CV is quite different from a traditional business resume in that it should focus heavily on MBA skills and traits such as leadership, teamwork and international work experience.

Watch this video for more tips and guidelines for writing strong MBA resume:

If you're running short on space, remember that your resume is meant to serve as a high-level overview of your key experiences and accomplishments. In other words, you don't have to list every single thing you did in a given job.

I always recommend writing achievement-based bullet points instead of listing your day-to-day tasks. When your bullet points demonstrate the results you were able to achieve, you'll not only save space but also differentiate yourself from similar applicants.
