Computer science student portfolio
DSA gets you through the screening round. Projects get you remembered. A CS portfolio turns your GitHub and course work into one link that proves you can build — and it is free to publish as a student.

Why does a portfolio matter for CS placements?
Every CS student grinds DSA and lists the same coursework. What sets you apart in placements is proof you can ship: a couple of real projects a recruiter can open, with a clear story and a working link. That is exactly what interviews probe for, and a portfolio answers it before you are even in the room.
It also compounds. Build it now with your current projects, and keep adding through your degree — hackathons, internships, side projects. By placement season you have a polished, GitHub-linked portfolio ready to drop into every application, instead of scrambling to assemble one under deadline.
What should you include in a CS portfolio?
- ✓A one-line identity: year, branch and what you build
- ✓Three to six projects with GitHub and live demo links
- ✓A clear tech stack — languages, frameworks, tools
- ✓Internships, research, or notable open-source contributions
- ✓DSA / competitive programming or hackathon achievements, if relevant
- ✓Contact section and résumé link

What should a computer science student put in a portfolio?
A one-line intro (e.g. 'Final-year CSE student building full-stack apps'), three to six projects with GitHub and live links, your tech stack, any internships, DSA or competitive programming achievements, and a contact section with your résumé. Lead with the projects that match the roles you want — SDE, data, ML, web.
Do CS students really need a portfolio for placements?
Yes. In placements and internship hunts, a portfolio with working projects is strong evidence you can actually build, not just clear DSA rounds. It is one link that shows your GitHub, your projects and your stack — far more memorable than another résumé in the pile.
Which template is best for a CS student?
It depends on your vibe. The terminal/IDE template suits developers who want a code-forward look; the CS template is a clean, projects-first layout; the bento grid is modern and easy to scan. All include space for GitHub, stack and projects, and all are free for students.
Can I build it without spending hours on design?
Yes. You pick a template, link your projects, and AI drafts your bio and project write-ups from your résumé. There is no design work and no coding the site itself — you go live in minutes and spend your time on your actual projects.
Is it free for CS students?
Yes. CS and B.Tech students build and publish on SitesPlaced for free, premium developer templates included, with no card required.
