About this program

Most interview prep is a pile of problems with nobody watching. This cohort is a plan. Each week has one focus, a set of practice, and a mentor who scores you against a rubric. You learn the routine that works on every coding question, a structure for design rounds, and how to tell honest stories. It ends with two full mock loops and a plan for negotiating the offer. One session of it is free to try on this page.

Who it is for

  • Students and freshers preparing for placements and first jobs
  • Working developers who are interviewing in the next few months
  • People who reach the final rounds but do not convert

What you will be able to do

  • Write a resume and a two-minute story that survives the first screen
  • Solve coding problems with a repeatable clarify, plan, code, test routine
  • Handle low-level design and basic system design rounds with a clear structure
  • Answer behavioural questions with specific, honest stories
  • Negotiate an offer calmly and compare it with others

Week 1 · Foundations

🔒 The hiring loop and your resume5 topics

Know what each round tests before you prepare for it.

The loop

  • Screen, coding, design, behavioural, hiring manager: what each round scores
  • How to plan six weeks around your target companies

Resume

  • One page, impact first: verbs, numbers, scope
  • ATS basics and how recruiters actually read a resume
  • Your two-minute story: who you are and why this role

Weeks 1-3 · Coding rounds

🔒 The coding round loop5 topics

Clarify, plan, code, test, out loud.

The routine

  • Clarify inputs and edge cases
  • Brute force first, then improve
  • Talking while coding, tracing by hand, stating complexity

Practice

  • Timed 45-minute problems with a mentor watching
  • Debugging out loud when a test fails
🔒 Patterns that cover most problems7 topics

Learn the shapes, not 500 answers.

Core patterns

  • Arrays and hashing, two pointers, sliding window
  • Stack and monotonic stack, binary search
  • Linked lists, trees, graphs: BFS and DFS
  • Heaps, intervals, backtracking
  • Dynamic programming from recursion to table

How we practise

  • A short curated set per pattern, then mixed sets with a timer
  • A spaced-repetition schedule so patterns stay fresh

Weeks 3-4 · Design rounds

🔒 Low-level design5 topics

Classes, interfaces and the patterns behind them.

Fundamentals

  • Requirements to classes: nouns, verbs, relationships
  • SOLID principles with examples

Practice designs

  • Parking lot, vending machine, elevator
  • Library or booking system
  • Design patterns you actually use: strategy, observer, factory, state
🔒 System design basics5 topics

Enough high-level design to pass the round.

  • The structure of a design answer and how to time it
  • Estimation: requests, storage, bandwidth
  • APIs, databases and caching in one page each
  • One full design walked end to end (URL shortener)
  • How to recover when you are stuck

Week 5 · People rounds

🔒 Behavioural interviews5 topics

Specific, honest stories beat rehearsed ones.

Stories

  • Build a bank of six stories: conflict, failure, leadership, ownership, ambiguity, a win
  • The STAR structure without sounding scripted

Hard questions

  • Why are you leaving? Gaps? A weakness? A failure?
  • Questions to ask the interviewer
  • Hiring manager and culture rounds

Week 6 · Close it

🔒 Mock interviews and offers5 topics

Full-length practice, then the part after the offer.

Mocks

  • Two full mock loops: coding, design and behavioural
  • Scored on a written rubric with specific fixes

Offers

  • Reading an offer: base, bonus, equity, notice period
  • Negotiating calmly and comparing several offers
  • Your next 30 days: a checklist

Projects

  • A reviewed one-page resume
  • A bank of six behavioural stories
  • Weekly timed practice with mentor feedback
  • Two full mock interview loops with a written rubric
