What should be the preparation strategy for an aspiring candidate?

Preparation for internship after 2nd year during summer break is the best time. Be thorough with the fundamental concepts of 2nd year. Utilize the summer break extensively in revising all the topics, preparing for the HR round. Try doing a project/internship , this really adds value. Grab every prospect for preparation. Attend any resume building workshop, mock interviews or GDs for practice. From every experience analyze the situations and yourself, you learn from the observations, imply it to yourself then you grow and get better the next time.
