With AI tools becoming more accessible, building a project has become easier than before. But I wonder what actually makes a fresher’s project stand out when many students can use similar tools to generate code.
Is it the originality of the idea, understanding the code, solving a real-world problem, proper testing, deployment, or the ability to explain technical decisions during an interview?
I believe using AI is not necessarily a weakness. The real difference is whether a student understands what they are building and can take responsibility for the final result.
For those who have worked on projects or participated in hiring, what do you think recruiters value most? What can a fresher do to make a project genuinely stand out?
