Hi Prakriti,
There is no standard CV format. The only points worth considering while writing your resume are:
1. Write name and your contact information on top header - Name, E-mail ID, and Phone.
2. Avoid the career objective; get straight to your professional qualifications followed by academic qualifications
a. List them in reverse chronological order.
b. Use a table format for proper alignment.
3. Followed by your Academic Participations (if any), Computer Proficiency, Extra-curricular activities
4. Then write about your other interests and activities
5. Mobility i.e. location of work preferred and ability to travel etc.
6. Personal Details i.e. a brief information about your family members, their education and occupation.
7. Keep all it within 2 pages, with readable fonts and comfortable spacing.
8. Review your draft at least 2 times; use help of your friends, family, roomies.
9. Spell-check
10. Save and share it in PDF format only.
Have fun.

Hey Ankit,
The reason to my suggestion is in the Prakriti's question itself; She wants to join a firm till her result is out, it is obvious that this piece of information will be with her only till she decides to move out of the firm.But, do you think that she can and will write a genuine career objective or rather do we ever write a genuine career objective? The like answer is no, because we are at a stage where we have no definite clue to what is in store for us down the line, say 5 years or so. So, if you have some really personal and original goals to share with the interviewer then please do write it, but if you are going to just copy-paste it from somewhere, it's better to skip.
Instead, I suggest we should write a cover letter with our CVs, where we could share our short-term objectives albeit original only.
Please share your views.

A cover letter definitely helps while sending it along with the CV. CV is a little generic in nature but the cover letter focuses on the objective and goals of a person for a particular job. It talks in more detail.
I strongly suggest sending a cover letter along with CV For job interviews/internships.
