TCS NQT vs product-based companies: how should I split my prep?

Question

Final year, 3 months left. Should I prepare aptitude for mass recruiters or go all-in on DSA for product companies?

Vikram Rao · Accepted Answer

Do both, weighted: secure an offer first, then aim higher.
- **Weeks 1–3:** aptitude and verbal (30 min/day keeps it sharp after that) and basic coding for NQT.
- **Throughout:** 2 DSA problems a day by pattern.
- Apply off-campus to product companies in parallel; referrals help a lot.

Same boat. Let's be accountability partners?
