Interview Preparation Tips
Tip 1 : Focus mostly on data structure and algorithms, try to solve at least 3-4 problems daily if you're a college-going student or 1-2 if you're a working professional, on various platforms like LeetCode(preferred), GFG, Interviewbit (when the interview is close, best for company-wise prep). I think 250 + DSA problems from leetcode put you in a very good position of cracking most companies interview provided most of them are medium level problems.
Tip 2 : Apart from DSA, also try to do development side by side and make some decent projects to show on your resume.
Tip 3 : Never neglect Core CS Subjects, try to finish it from some youtube channels like gate smashers or knowledge gate, also you don't have to prepare all CS subjects as most companies ask only from DBMS, OS, and CN(computer Network)
Tip 1 : Mention only those things that you really know and have worked upon in the past
Tip 2 : Showcase your achievements like ranks in a coding contest like ICPC, Codeforces, CodeChef, etc or maybe in hackathons (this showcase that you're a really good developer to the recruiter)

Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: Given a marathon racer and an array of 5 elements having the time taken (t_i) and energy spent(e_i) for running 1 Km. He has to run a marathon of D Km and expending atmost E energy. Find the minimum time required to run the marathon. Once he starts a 1 Km sprint, he has to continue at the same speed till the 1 Km is complete.
Tips: Try Brute force, if nothing works.
I used a*e_1+b*e_2+c*e_3+d*e_4+e * e_5 <= E
and a+b+c+d+e = D
Solve these two equation and minimize a*t_1+b*t_2+c*t_3+d*t_4+e * t_5
