If you’re a technical student in Uttar Pradesh — whether you're from Bareilly, Moradabad, Lucknow, Kanpur, Meerut, Gorakhpur, Agra, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Pilibhit, Budaun, Sitapur, Shahjahanpur — one thing you absolutely cannot ignore is:
GITHUB.
Because in today’s IT world, GitHub is your identity, your credibility, and your proof of skill.
Yet, 80% of UP students still don’t use GitHub properly.
Some don’t even know why it is important.
And this is one of the biggest reasons they get rejected in interviews.
Let’s understand this simply.
1. GitHub is Your Online Project Showcase
Companies don’t just believe what you say.
They believe what you show.
When an HR in Noida, Gurugram or Bangalore opens your GitHub, they instantly understand:
✔ how you code
✔ how consistent you are
✔ whether you build real projects
✔ how you think
✔ whether you are improving over time
A strong GitHub profile = stronger chance of getting hired.
2. Why UP Students Don’t Use GitHub (Real Reasons)
Most students in cities like Bareilly, Gorakhpur, Meerut, and Kanpur say:
- “Sir, we were never taught Git or GitHub.”
- “College never told us about it.”
- “We only know theory — not tools.”
And it’s true.
Most colleges in UP still teach C, C++, Java basics, DBMS theory, but hardly any teach version control, repositories, or collaboration — the things that ACTUALLY matter in real IT jobs.
This creates a huge disadvantage for UP students.
3. Why Companies Check GitHub Before Your Resume
When you apply for jobs, your GitHub link is sometimes more important than your resume.
Recruiters check:
- Number of repositories
- Quality of your code
- Commits (your learning pattern)
- Project structure
- README file clarity
- Live deployment links
If your GitHub is empty, they immediately assume:
“This student has no practical knowledge.”
But if you have 3–4 good projects, the company becomes instantly interested.
4. What Should UP Students Upload on GitHub?
Even beginners can upload:
✔ Basic projects
- Weather app
- Portfolio website
- Calculator
- Notes app
✔ Intermediate projects
- E-commerce backend
- Admin dashboards
- Authentication system
- Chat applications
✔ Advanced projects
- AI/ML models
- Cybersecurity tools
- Mobile apps with API
- Full-stack systems
The goal is consistency, not perfection.
5. A Real Bareilly Example
A BCA student from Bareilly uploaded a simple Todo app, a Login system, and a Weather app on GitHub.
He didn’t have top marks, he wasn’t fluent in English — but his portfolio was solid.
He got selected in Noida at 4.8 LPA based purely on his GitHub projects.
This is the power UP students are missing out on.
Final Thought
GitHub is not just a tool.
It is your digital identity, your project gallery, and your ticket to IT placements.
A student from UP may not have metro-level exposure —
But with GitHub, you can show metro-level skills.
