Tip 1 : Questions are asked on DSA, so practice questions and it is not the number of questions you practice, but how well you practice the questions. Prepare a notebook and write down the approach you follow. Make proper notes and maintain that notebook. Will help for quick revision.
Tip 2 : Conceptual questions are asked from topics other than DSA. So watching videos on youtube will not help. Read the book thoroughly to make yourself ready for interviews.
Tip 3 : ALWAYS read about the real-life examples of the concepts you read. This is often asked in interviews and you will definitely regret failing to answer this question.

Application resume tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Having projects in resume will help you to give the direction to your interview, which increases the chances of selection.
Tip 2 : Add some achievements other than academics, it shows that you are a team player and increases the probability of getting shortlisted. BUT do not write anything that is not true or else, it will backfire.
