What should be the preparation strategy for an aspiring candidate?

From a 3rd year student the companies expect to have some decent problem solving skills so be good with DSA problems. Also be good in the CS subjects like OOPS, DBMS. having 1 or 2 projects in your resume is better. Make sure you are perfect with your resume as the interviewer may ask anything from your resume. research about the company before the interview as it will come in handy. And coming to the technical interview just be confident. listen to the questions carefully and answer the questions you know for sure. be as transparent as you can be towards your interviewer so that your interview can be as smooth as possible
