Certifications can add credibility to a profile, but their real value comes from the learning behind them, not the PDF itself.

For DevFest Raipur 2026, I’d prefer certificates that recognize hands-on projects, technical skills, problem solving, and active contribution rather than mere attendance.

A strong project or practical experience can outweigh a certificate anytime, while a meaningful certificate can complement it and motivate people to explore new tracks.
