General Tips: I think for core companies you need to be completely thorough with your project as they ask form very simple to very complex questions about it. I had problem in answering one simple question about my project in my Deloitte interview. They asked me to name few of the power plants as my project was on it and i couldn't answer satisfactorily.

Be thorough with your project and have basic knowledge about courses for those appearing for core companies.For analytics companies solve as many puzzles as possible and quant problems.For those who are sitting for placements always carry your resume because even though you aren't shortlisted for a company they may ask you to come for an interview on request.
