How to prepare
Good Grasp on Data Structures and Algorithms(Timely Practice + Contest Participation + Explaination of code) Computer Fundamentals cannot be neglected as recruiters are always looking for people with good knowledge (Take out 2-3 hours daily to prepare and revise + Don't Memorize just understand) Practice Aptitude on Weekends to keep up the practice of Rapid - Fire Questions Project Explaination (Or Internship Experience) should be crisp and to the point.
