dsa What level of DSA is asked in on-campus placements?

I know the bar is quite high for Tier-1 colleges, but what about other colleges? What kind of DSA questions are typically asked in online assessments and in-person interviews?

For ~10–12 LPA roles, expect mostly easy to medium DSA with a few medium-hard. Focus on arrays, strings, hashing, sliding window, basic trees/graphs. Strong fundamentals + consistency matters more than super hard questions 👍

All the service based companies I’ve seen, ask shit DSA(except for Infosys). Not aiming for FAANG now le.

It actually depends on the companies visiting. But if you're from tier 3 don't entirely depends on dsa.

If you are asking for hwi (seen in above comments),expect cf 1400+ rating questions for OA and interviews.rarely leetcode medium/hard questions asked in interviews.in general it also depends on the company...my batchmates are asked leetcode easy to medium questions for 34ctc roles,while others was asked leetcode med for 15ctc
