M.Tech, Research and Postgraduate Roles
Why this format worksThe IIT Madras format gives each kind of work its own section: key projects with the guiding professor, course projects, online courses, industrial training and teaching roles. That separation suits postgraduate and research profiles, where the depth of academic work is the main signal. An education table with Program, Institution/Board, %/CGPA and Year shows multiple degrees at a glance.
