How do the students of IIIT Allahabad prepare for placements?

First of all, preparing for placements is a continuous process. You should never make this mistake to pile up things for the last moment. You should start preparing by brushing up your existing knowledge from the initial days only. In the final month of placement, you should only revise the concepts both basics and advanced. Here are some of the resources that you can follow for your preparation. 

• InterviewBit: It’s a very useful website that may help you in practicing coding. You will get a good idea about the standard of questions that the companies ask.
• GeeksforGeeks: For data structure, the best source to study is geeks for geeks. It’s a complete portal for CS/IT students. You can also refer to books such as Introduction to Algorithms” by Charles E. Leiserson, Clifford Stein, Ronald Rivest, and Thomas H. Cormen.
• For Operating Systems, books like “Operating System Concepts” by Abraham Silberschatz, Peter B. Galvin, and Greg Gange. Modern Operating Systems by Andrew S. Tanenbaum is good.
• For Databases again the NPTEL course by Prof. D. Jankiram of IIT Madras is very promising. For short notes, you can refer to GeeksforGeeks.
• SQL queries can be learned from GeeksforGeeks and can be practiced on Hackerrank.
• For Networking, basic knowledge is required. “Computer Networks: A Systems Approach” by Larry L. Peterson will be helpful for you.

You can go through two websites, i.e. GeeksforGeeks and Glassdoor to learn about interview experiences.
