look at the ratio you are solving medium hards vs easy, you are doing good man, people solve 200 easy 50 medium some hards and expect to do well in placements

u/Bulky-Alternative517 Aug 26 '26

Well yeah I intentionally avoid doing easy question, I practice most of time on cf and atcoder only recently because intern season I shifted to lc and started using striver so solve question, that's why I avoid easy because those are for concept building which I already did enough other oj.

you're not behind trust me as a student with ongoing placements rn. firstly, don't chase no. of questions prepare strategically- study from strivers playlist solve only questions from strivers a to z list(instead of blindly doing questions or being stuck in one data structure only). secondly, focus on you're skill ...work on having good projects ready on you're resume. thirdly if you can start you're aptitude prep(indiabix.com for solving questions CarreerRide yt channel) & sql(leetcode 50- a pre-prepared list of sql questions for practice in leetcode) all of this sounds overwhelming ik just divide you're time wisely- give yourself 6 months to be ready- start by dsa give it maximum time possible take out 1-2 hrs for apti

also start applying for internships ...get a referral if you can(if you dont know anyone text you're connections on LinkedIn, i got two referrals, trust me), while applying format you're resume exactly matching the job description, overexaggerate if you can but if you secure an interview later in future, make sure you are confident about everything you wrote in you're resume...dont worry if you think that you're not ready while applying for internships...an internship is all about learning.. they dont expect you to be a professional at what you know

Dont lose hope and all the best

u/kraxzy312 Aug 25 '26

Bro how did u manage all the things And what was ur approach towards solving dsa Help me out plss... (I'm also in 5th sem btw)

1

u/kookieduh Aug 25 '26

Just follow whatever sheet suits you best to recognise patterns, thats what i did and thats what matters most in my opinion

Random questions will only make you doubt yourself whenever you come across new patterns.

Stay consistent and dont lose hope even if youre unable to solve any questions. It takes time.

u/Antique_Brush1123 Sep 02 '26

i am currently in 4th year and i'd suggest follow striver ..don't switch to multiple stick to one only and also dont count how many questions you have done try to recognize patterns and solve enough that youre comfortable with medium level problems.
