WHAT'S A PORTFOLIO?

You must have heard that different institutions demand a portfolio.

A portfolio is a compilation of work and accomplishments. These must revolve around the area of your interest and the subject you are opting for.

HOW TO WRITE ONE

Discover yourself

Before starting to write it is important to
discover yourself and your aims. Administrative bodies always choose students who have good academic qualifications. But they also consider students who have a well build portfolio. Most importantly, you need to understand what excites you.

RESEARCH

After you understand your aim, now is
time for you to research on what all you should include. Mention your projects, work experience, your volunteering initiatives, and academic scores to draft a document that describes you in the best way possible without going overboard.
