Quick answer
Use your final year project in placements by explaining the problem, your role, tech decisions, challenges solved, and metrics. Maintain a clean GitHub README, live demo link, and 2-minute elevator pitch aligned with recruiter job descriptions.
What recruiters ask about your project
- What problem did you solve and for whom?
- What was your individual contribution?
- Which technologies and why?
- Biggest technical challenge and how you fixed it
- What would you improve with more time?
