Tip 3 : Must practice puzzles . These are easily available in GFG and were asked directly from there.
Tip 4 : OOPs Concepts are a must. Must know basics like what are classes, objects, constructors etc. You must prepare each concept like polymorphism/inheritance with an Example. Try to explain oops with real life examples like a Student class / Blueprint Class(blueprint of a building).
Tip 5 : You must know all your Projects mentioned in the resume extremely well. Atleast one project(preferably the 1st one) should be known by you in minute details.
Tip 6 : Be honest. And don't lie about anything in your resume(trust me).

Tip 1 : Don't lie about anything in your resume.
Tip 2 : Keep it formatted to a single .
Tip 3 : Keep things that is your forte in a way such that it would grab immediate attention. Sell yourself properly in your resume.

Do good projects and include them along with 3/4 bullet points(with proper bold words) giving an overview of the tech stack used and your role in the project(if it was a group project) and the results achieved . Provide links if you've hosted/deployed your projects.
