General Tips: It's not a World Cup final and you're not Tendulkar. So relax, you don't have the burden of a nation's expectation on you. If you've managed to understand the fundamentals of algorithms, data structures, OS etc., cracking interviews shouldn't be hard. If you've not, then I guess you need at least a couple of months of intense preparation.
