01 / 04Phase 01 of 04
Weeks 1-2: Data Structures & Algorithms fundamentals. Practice implementations and complexity analysis.
Weeks 1-2: Focus on core data structures (arrays, linked lists, stacks, queues, trees, graphs, hash tables) and fundamental algorithms (sorting, searching, recursion, dynamic programming). Practice implementing these in your preferred programming language and analyze their time and space complexity.
Phase 02 of 04
Weeks 3-4: OOP principles, Design Patterns, and Operating Systems basics.
Weeks 3-4: Deep dive into Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction) and common design patterns (Singleton, Factory, Observer, Strategy). Review operating systems concepts like processes, threads, memory management, and concurrency.
Phase 03 of 04
Weeks 5-6: System Design concepts and practice designing scalable systems.
Weeks 5-6: Prepare for system design questions. Understand concepts like scalability, availability, reliability, load balancing, caching, databases (SQL vs. NoSQL), and API design. Practice designing common systems like a URL shortener or a Twitter feed.
Phase 04 of 04
Week 7: Behavioral questions (STAR method) and Nagarro company research.
Week 7: Focus on behavioral questions and company research. Prepare examples using the STAR method for common behavioral questions. Research Nagarro's mission, values, recent news, and the specific role you're applying for. Practice articulating your career goals and motivations.
