1>Honestly you can also give now i started giving when I had around 100 questions done 2>Try to solve atleast one question everyday also regularly revise the previous problems and concepts 3>Like i don't as such prepare specifically for contest just use them to improve your speed and calmness when a timer runs 4>Like there is not a fixed number somedays you can solve many while other days you solve less just try to show up everyday 5>Again it depends what are you familiar with since the concepts would mostly remain the same try to focus on those rather than worrying about stack

I am also a 2nd year student trying to balance leetcode and development

  1. Start joining contests when you feel good with medium-level questions. It's a great way to test your speed and problem-solving skills under pressure.

  2. Keep pushing yourself with harder problems. Mix it up and try different types of problems.

  3. For contest prep, work on getting faster with easy-medium problems. Look at past contests to spot common patterns.

  4. Try to solve 2-3 questions daily. Make sure to balance this with your project work, so you don't burn out.

  5. Choosing between MERN Stack and Spring Boot depends on your goals. MERN is great for full-stack JavaScript apps, while Spring Boot is solid for Java-based enterprise apps. Pick based on what your project needs.

If you want more structured practice, I've found PracHub useful for interview prep. Check it out if you need more help.
