"Biodata is a commonly used psychology term for biographical data. Biodata surveys are in the form of multiple choice questions. In India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, a biodata is essentially a resume plus physical attributes, such has height, weight, hair/skin/eye color, and a photo.

An application form is a form created by the employer to collect information from job applicants. It may include much of the same information as a resume, but it is organized for the convenience of the employer.A resume includes a work and salary history, educational history and job objective.A curriculum vitae is a list of one's professional and educational history and tends to focus on one area of expertise. It's commonly used by authors, researchers, speakers, professors and other experts in a particular field."

Not the same.

This will be a good chance to hone your wiki skills. Look on the internet for some answers.

After you learn how to do this, you can put it on your resume, but not your CV, nor in your bio-data.

Agree with the others: they are not the same, by definition. Look it up online!

In the US, CV is mainly used in academia, resume for all other purposes. Bio-data is not used here.
