Merit-Based Architecture

Designed for Engineering Leaders, Not Keyword Scrapers.

Resumes can be embellished; commit history cannot. Our multi-tier assessment pipeline replaces superficial filters with hands-on architectural validation.

Live Review Rubric

1. Automated & Architectural Codebase Review

Every candidate builds 5 practical projects evaluated across modularity, test coverage, commit atomicity, error resilience, and deployment configurations.

$ karvaan-cli evaluate --submission sprint-03 --repo public
ℹ Parsing GitHub PR commits: 12 atomic commits verified
✔ Code Modularization: 100/100 (Clean separation of controllers & services)
✔ Error Handling & Validation: 95/100 (Centralized middleware implemented)
✔ Public Proof of Work: Linked repository & technical explanation verified
→ Aggregate Sprint Score: 97.5/100 (Benchmark Exceeded)

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about evaluations, criteria, credentials, and technical interviews.

Candidates must complete and submit at least 3 out of 5 assigned sprint tasks. Each submission must include a public GitHub repository link with clean, atomic commit history and a public technical walkthrough post.
Candidates who achieve an aggregate score of 90 or above across their evaluated assignments automatically qualify for the final 45-minute live technical interview panel conducted via Google Meet.
Registration, assessment project specifications, and codebase submissions are 100% free. Candidates achieving a 90+ aggregate score receive their verifiable certificate and technical interview completely free. Candidates scoring below 90 who meet deliverable criteria may optionally claim an official verifiable certificate via an operational verification fee (₹99).
Every certificate issued by Karvaan Labs carries a unique cryptographic ID and a high-resolution QR code linking directly to our live verification portal (/verify.html), guaranteeing permanent, tamper-proof proof of achievement.
