Advice from candidates

21 pieces of advice, in their own words. Names removed.

  • I would recommend reading all these CS Core concepts as this had decent weightage in your final score. Only DSA is not enough, at the end of your summer every will have decent confidence in DSA, but if you do all these CS concepts, then you will have an edge.

  • So always think of the simple approaches to solve the problem, and later proceed to the standard approaches.

  • I didn't do CP much. I would recommend that you guys do CP regularly. In my case, I somehow managed to get some test cases passed using maths-based logic. But if you do CP, you will get one extra question correct.

  • Do all the CS core concepts properly for MCQs and Interviews.
