What makes a great student portfolio template?
Projects First
Your projects are the main event. Templates should show them above the fold — not buried below a giant bio section.
Mobile Responsive
Recruiters check portfolios on their phones. Your template must look great on every screen size.
Fast Loading
A portfolio that takes 5 seconds to load loses the recruiter. Look for CDN-hosted, optimized templates.
Clean & Professional
Avoid flashy animations and neon colors. Recruiters want to see your work, not be distracted by the design.
Easy to Update
You'll add projects after every semester and hackathon. Updating should take minutes, not hours.
SEO Friendly
When recruiters Google your name, your portfolio should appear. Good templates have proper meta tags and structure.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a general template on the Free plan instead?
Yes! All general templates (Creator, Developer, Business, SaaS) work great for students too. The Student templates are specifically optimized for placement season with projects-first layouts, but the general ones are equally professional.
Can I switch between student templates?
Yes. You can change your template anytime from the editor. Your content is preserved — only the layout and design change.
Do student templates support AI resume parsing?
AI resume parsing is available on the Individual plan (₹199/mo). The Student plan focuses on templates, custom domain, and branding removal. You can still manually add all your content through the editor.
Which template is best for a CS student?
The 'student-cs' template. It's designed for developers with project cards, tech stack tags, a skills grid, and GitHub integration. Perfect for SDE/SWE placement season.
I'm doing an MBA. Which template should I use?
The 'student-business' template. It highlights leadership roles, case competitions, consulting projects, and professional achievements — exactly what MBA recruiters look for.
Can I use these for internship applications too?
Absolutely. A portfolio link in your internship application email makes you stand out instantly. Many students report getting more interview calls after adding a portfolio link.
