  • Q2. Implement LRU cache.
  • Ans. 

    Implement LRU cache

    • LRU stands for Least Recently Used

    • It is a cache eviction policy that removes the least recently used item

  • Q3. What is virtual memory? Will we need virtual memory even if we have infinite amount of RAM?
  • Ans. 

    Virtual memory is a memory management technique that allows a computer to use more memory than it physically has.

    • Virtual memory uses a combination of RAM and hard disk space to store data.

    • It allows programs to use more memory than is physically available.

    • If a program tries to access memory that is not currently in RAM, it will be swapped in from the hard disk.

    • Even if we had infinite RAM, virtual memory would still be n...

Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: No CPI cut off and It was open for all departments.

Round: Test
Experience: In muliple choice question Mostly questions were base on maths, probability, c programs, algorithms, Systems. If you are prepared then Questions were not that much tough. Keep strong concepts of Operating systems. For subjective part, Some problems were from maths proofs, some were from probability, some were from algo. We had to write algorithms. etc
Duration: 180 minutes

Round: Problem Statement
Experience: Questions were doable.

Round: Interview
Experience: Everyone was cool, They made me feel comfortable and then started asking questions.
Tips: If you have good rank in online coding competition, do mention it in CV.Most of the students think that GS asks only probability-puzzles. They did not asked me any question on probability or puzzle. Everything they asked was based on Algorithms problems and Operating system. I think it depends on team for which they are hiring. Most important point is don’t lose hope because you have low CPI or you are not good at something. Keep Operating systems fundamental concepts strong.

General Tips: We should balance in Placement and Compititive online coding. Keep in mind Placements and Compititive online coding are some what different things. Keep on improving our mistakes on daily basis. I would strongly suggest you to do introspection daily it will help you to find out your weaknesses and strong points, where we are going wrong etc. There are two thing on which we shoud focus.1. Preparation (I have told everything requered for preparation).2. Get output of all hard work. How to keep our mind on 100% output while the actual exam(placement).For this, I used to go for physical exercise daily in the morning and medidate for 20-30 minutes. Along with exercise i used to do Sudarshan Kriya(Art of Living). Meditation has lot of power :).
Skill Tips: Keep your OS fundamentals strong. To improve codgin skills practice as many problems as you can. Regularly participate in online coding competitions it really helps to solve or approach any new problem. Many time instead of correct answer the approach to solve the problems is very important. How you think, How you approach the problem is checked in interview.
Skills: Coding Skills, Operating Systems , Problem solving skills
College Name: IIT Guwahati
Motivation: The name GS itself enogh for motivation.

Interview Preparation Tips

Professional and academic backgroundI completed Software Engineering from Delhi Technological University. Eligibility criteriaNo criteria.Goldman Sachs interview preparation:Topics to prepare for the interview - Data Structures, Database Management System, Object-Oriented Programming System Algorithms, Dynamic Programming, Graph, Puzzles, Operating System, Multi-Threading, projects.Time required to prepare for the interview - 10 monthsInterview preparation tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : Focus on Data Structures and Algorithms. Practising questions based on them every day is the key to succeeding. You can enroll into a Data Structures and Algorithms course by Coding Ninjas. This course helped me build a strong foundation in these topics. I also recommend platforms like LeetCode and InterviewBit for further practice.
Tip 2 : During your interview THINK OUT LOUD!!! It is very important that you voice your approach towards the problem otherwise interviewer will have no clue what you are thinking. 
Tip 3 : Do give mock interviews to some college senior or mentor. They help you understand how to express your thought process better (Think out loud) and also reduce the interview stress and anxiety.

Application resume tips for other job seekers

Tip 1 : In order to make a strong resume you must include at least 2-3 Projects and an intern/work experience. Mention all your skills which you are confident of in your resume. 
Tip 2 : Try to make it of one page only. You can use overleaf to make your resume.
