Tip 1 : Hide some interesting facts about you in the resume, So that you can impress the recruiter during the interview.
Tip 2 : Don't try online resumes, Instead you can make your own resume in MS Word to stand out from others. For me it took 2-3 hours to learn making resume in word and to complete it.

Yes, here comes the technical Round. Like other casual Interviews, it started with my introduction. and then the Interviewer asked me about OOPs Concepts and for every concept he asked for an example code. it took around 20 mins for this round and next he started asking questions from my project ( in which I mentioned ML Project ). From this he has asked Like why do you choose this algorithm and why did you learned ML. After That he moved to the problem solving part. He asked 6 questions on Problem solving. this took me around 30 mins to solve. I'll mention those problems in the below section. And he started asking me about tree's implementation. I answered him the theoretical part for the questions asked. and furtherly he asked me 6-7 SQL queries which took me around 20mins I remember. And from there he started asking questions about CN and OS. As I don't know about them- I replied Like i didn't have much Knowledge In these Sessions but I have Learned Some new technologies that are trending in the market. So, the key point for every Interview is like- we need not to be know everything it is up to us to in which area we are having interest and finally you should be able to show that you are expert in that and one more thing- Any job role is not expecting to be good at only one area of tech- So you should be able to convince the Interviewer that you are capable of understanding, learning new tech and to be have good team working skills.

You are given a Singly Linked List of integers. Sort the Linked List using merge sort.

Merge Sort is a Divide and Conquer algorithm. It divides the input into two halves, calls itself for the two halves, and then merges the two sorted halves. The merge() function is used for merging two halves. The merge(arr, L, M, R) is a key process that assumes that arr[L..M] and arr[M + 1...R] are sorted and merges the two sorted subarrays into one.
