Preparation Strategy:

For the people in the circuit branch, be focused on the dsa subject that you have. Start preparing last to last by 2-2, that's high time. Give contests regularly on leetcode and codeforces(optional). Also parallely keep preparing other required subject i.e. OOPS and DBMS. Try to make small small projects which will be very much useful on your resume. Build your resume one month before starting the intern drive. In summer vacations, Solve interviewbit completely as revision. Be consistent with problem solving.
At the time of intern drive, there will be situations when you'll not be shortlisted for certain companies and your friend will get selected, keep yourself motivated at that time. This is very much important. Don't rush for a particular company, whenever there is a test, always try to give your best. Your hardwork will surely give you results. If you feel low anytime, talk to your friends, your parents, your seniors. They will cheer you up.Reach out your seniors for any kind of help at any point of time. All the best!
