Careers after B.Tech with Building a GitHub Portfolio skills
A GitHub portfolio is a public record of a student's code: projects, commit history, documentation and collaboration. It is built by the student over the degree and is the most direct way to make coursework and hackathon work visible to recruiters. For B.Tech graduates, Building a GitHub Portfolio skills translate into roles like Software Engineer, Full-Stack Developer, Backend Developer, Data Engineer — and the portfolio that gets those interviews is built during the degree: coursework, lab projects, hackathons, internships, and a visible capstone. Here is how that maps out at Vivekananda School of Engineering & Technology (VSET) at VIPS-TC Pitampura.
