Biodata Format for Job —
Simple, Printable, Word & PDF
The clean one-page biodata that government offices, schools and traditional employers expect — what to include, what to skip, and a maker that exports editable Word + print-ready PDF.
The 5 sections of a job biodata
Name, father's/husband's name, DOB, address, phone, email — photo top-right for traditional/govt employers.
Qualification · board/university · year · percentage, from 10th onward, newest first or oldest first — just stay consistent.
Employer, role, duration, 1–2 duty lines each. Freshers: internships, apprenticeships, family-business help all count.
Computer skills (MS Office, Tally, typing speed), licenses (driving, trade), language proficiency — read/write/speak levels.
“I hereby declare that the above information is true to the best of my knowledge” + place, date, signature.

Biodata for job — common questions
What is a biodata for a job?+
A job biodata is the traditional Indian one-page profile: a personal-details block (name, father's/husband's name, DOB, address, sometimes religion/marital status), education table, work experience, and a signed declaration. It's still requested by government offices, schools, small businesses, factories and for many clerical, field and staff roles.
What is the difference between biodata, resume and CV?+
Biodata leads with personal details and is expected in government and traditional Indian hiring. A resume is a 1-page marketing document of skills and quantified achievements — corporate standard. A CV is the long academic format listing publications and research. Companies and ATS software want a resume; sarkari and traditional employers often want biodata.
How do I get this biodata format in Word (DOCX)?+
Build it in ApplyVita free — enter your details once and export as Word (DOCX) and PDF together from ₹299, one-time via UPI. The DOCX stays fully editable for future updates, and the layout survives printing and photocopying cleanly.
Should a job biodata include a photo?+
For government, teaching, and traditional employers — yes, a passport photo top-right is expected. For corporate/IT applications through job portals, skip the photo and use a resume format instead; ATS software often mis-parses photos.
What should NOT go in a modern job biodata?+
Caste (unless a government form claiming category benefits requires it), salary history for entry roles, more than one page, and decorative borders or fancy fonts — offices photocopy these documents, and ornamentation photocopies badly.
Is biodata okay for private company jobs?+
For small/traditional businesses, staff and field roles — commonly yes. For IT, corporate and MNC applications, use a resume: recruiters and ATS systems expect skills-first documents without personal-details blocks. When unsure, carry both.
