Advice for students (do's and don'ts)

Since I was mainly targeting Data science/Core related profiles. 1) For the data science profiles, I practiced coding, sql queries and basic Data Structures. GeeksforGeeks is a good resource for this (has both Company Specific and general practice problems). Used Pariksha.com and ‘fifty-challenging-problems-in-probability-with-solutions’ book. Besides this, some other important courses like Machine Learning, Deep learning, and Relevant projects in my resume were also prepared from Utube and coursera. 2) For the core just focus on the profile you are applying for and their related subjects. 3) Also prepared aptitude and statistics which is very essential for the ML/analyst profiles.
