Interview preparation journey
Journey
I started my journey in my 7th semester and prepared all the DSA topics and core CS fundamentals in 3–4 months.
But still, I was not getting any interviews. I was not able to clear any OAs, but after some time, an interview happened. I cleared the OA — it was all aptitude and then interview. I was sure I would get selected, but I was rejected in HR round.
Application story
Applied through campus. I got shortlisted for the OA. It happened in Delhi — it was all aptitude. After three weeks, we got the results of the OA, and I was shortlisted for the interview.
There was one interview scheduled to happen at their campus. We went to the campus for my interview. It was a 1.5-hour interview, and after that, they said they would share the shortlist of selected candidates. I was shortlisted.
After some time, they said they would conduct one more round. But I was not selected after the last round.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
I don’t know I thought everything went well but I was not selected in the end. It was the last round round and out of 7 students they selected only 2.

Asked in companies
Rotate the linked list k times.
Problem approach
The idea is to first convert the linked list to circular linked list by updating the next pointer of last node to the head of linked list. Then, traverse to the kth node and update the head of the linked list to the (k+1)th node. Finally, break the loop by updating the next pointer of kth node to NULL.
