Tip 1 : Practise atleast 300 questions from leetcode (100 easy, 150 medium, 50 hard) and participate regularly in short contest like codeforces, codechef lunchtime, leetcode weekly contest.
Tip 2 : It is important to practice coding consistently because it is what enables you to solve interview-questions in the stipulated time. But before this, it is even important to have a clear understanding of all the data-structures, so that they can be easily implemented as and when required to solve a problem. It is also mandatory to have a clear understanding of the time and space complexities of algorithms because this is what you are judged upon in real interviews. Good intuition and a good approach to solve a problem are what really helps to crack the interview of such companies.
Tip 3 : Be confident during the interview and interact with the interviewer.
Tip 4 : Also prepare for theory subjects like Operating system, Database Management System, etc

First they asked to introduce myself and then Hr told me the process of the interview.
After that my project discussion started and then another interviewer asked me about some os concepts like deadlock, conditions of deadlock. After that he want me to implement heap data structure. First I explain my approach with the help of paint I draw the heap structure and explain that how it will be implemented and then move to coding part.
1. Technical Questions
Interviewer first asked about my intership project. I first explain problem statement of the project then explain How I solved the problem and then How it impacted the company. Then Interview asked some cross-question based on my project and I will be able to answer almost all questions
Then Interviewer asked me about my college project. As I made android application and luckily interviewer worked in the android developement team so the discussion goes around How you implemented features and what are the use cases of this project and one basic question of android what is activity.

You are given two numbers 'a' and 'b' as input.
You must swap the values of 'a' and 'b'.
For Example:
Input:
'a' = 8, 'b' = 5
Output:
5 8
Explanation:
Initially, the value of 'a' and 'b' is 8 and 5, respectively.
After swapping, the value of 'a' is 5, and the value of 'b' is 8.
4. Build Heap
Moderate

70% success
0/80
Asked in companies
You are given an integer array with N elements. Your task is to build a max binary heap from the array.
A max-heap is a complete binary tree in which the value of each internal node is greater than or equal to the values of the children of that node.
Note :
You do not need to print anything, just return the vector representation of the heap such that the input array follows 0 - based indexing and :
The left child of the ith node is at (2 * i + 1)th index.
The right child of the ith node is at (2 * i + 2)th index.
Parent of the node present at ith index is at (i - 1) / 2 indexes.
