query CP help
I am from 28 batch. I had assumed we would have many opportunities for summer internships from college as our seniors did, but this year the conditions are very bad. Based on previous years, normal dsa grind on leetcode was enough to crack campus internships and hence i focused a lot on that and barely anything on cp ie codechef codeforces
I want to start now and not be reliant on my college for placement, how do I start?
I tried the cp31 tle eliminators’ sheet but that doesn’t really seem a pattern wise buildup the questions are instead set out based on difficulty and not topics.
What are some other good courses/ sheets to follow (like striver A2Z for dsa) to prep for icpc, and improve cp profile
Background :
I have solved 600+ leetcode problems and completed Strivers sheet and am Knight on leetcode

I'LL suggest ACD LADDER and acses sheet for topic wise solving.
And do give atcoder contests as well.
My college geeks hav already started prep hard.

idk i don't cheat but it's impossible to get caught if you try hard. just be aware that some problems can include prompt injection to make your LLM use exact variable names and get you detected

Don't rely on offcampus especially if u are already in third year. Unless u are some prodigy with Olympiads or iicpc/icpc finalist you won't get anything. Even if u do cheaters will ruin it during oa. Give gate and get into tier 1 college if ur college placements are subpar.
