How to use the Placement Preparation Planner
- 1. Set your timelineWeeks until placements, hours a day and your start date.
- 2. Rate yourselfYour current level from 1 to 5 in aptitude, coding, CS basics and communication.
- 3. Follow the planEach week has two focus areas; the last weeks are for mock tests.
How the plan is calculated
Each area gets a weight for the kind of company you are aiming at: service companies test aptitude heavily, product companies focus on coding and data structures, and analyst roles add SQL, Excel and case questions. That weight is multiplied by your gap, which is 6 minus your level, so weaker areas get more time. With the defaults, 12 weeks at 2 hours a day over 6 study days is 144 hours over 12 weeks; aptitude gets 34% (about 4.1 hours a week) and coding 23%.
The weekly table gives two focus topics per week, moving through each area's topics in order, and keeps the final weeks for full mock tests, mock interviews and company-specific papers.
Making the plan work
- Be honest with the ratings; the plan is only as good as the input.
- Practise timed: aptitude and coding rounds are about speed as well as accuracy.
- Check the real process for each company through its official careers page or your placement cell, because rounds differ.
- Rest one day a week: steady effort beats last-minute cramming.
The weights are our judgement of typical selection rounds, not data from any company, and no plan can guarantee a placement. Download the CSV to tick weeks off in a spreadsheet.
