I'm a fresh BS in Architecture graduate of this semester, and planning to work on my portfolio in the upcoming days. I need your advice on which parts of my projects I need to highlight in portfolio, that I would use to get a job. As in what would be appreciated in a project by a working architect, and what would leave a positive impression in my portfolio.
I'm only asking this question because in most portfolios rating posts, I see a lot of (This portfolio would leave a good impression in academic field but not in professional firm or visa versa) comments

I would say for most students there is a major overlap between grad and entry-level applicant portfolios. Both should show adroit rendering/representation skill, composition, design skill, ect.

Here are the main differences that I see:
This is something that might get a lot of grad schools excited but would probably make a lot of people in the profession scratch their head: http://cartogram.org/project_civic-characters.html
This is something that might get a hiring firm principal excited but might bore a grad school admissions committee: http://imiweb.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/02.120.0102.jpg
These are generalizations and depend on the school/firm that you are applying to... if your portfolio is any good, it should get you into either
