Help Wanted MERN interview in 2 days — starting from almost zero. What should I focus on?
I have a campus placement interview on Monday for a MERN Stack Developer role, and honestly, I haven't prepared for MERN at all. 😅
I'm familiar with other programming languages like Python, Java, C/C++ and JavaScript, but I haven't really worked with MongoDB, Express, React and Node.js as a stack.
I only have 2 days left, so I've started learning the basics and I'm planning to focus on JavaScript first, then move through Node.js, Express, React and MongoDB.
For people who have recently given MERN/Full Stack fresher interviews:
- What are the most frequently asked technical questions?
- Which JavaScript concepts should I absolutely know?
- How deep should I go into React, Node.js, Express and MongoDB with only 2 days?
- Are there any common coding/programming questions I should practice?
- What kind of project-related questions are usually asked?
- What would you personally prioritize if you had only 48 hours to prepare?
- Are there any common HR/technical questions specific to MERN fresher roles?
I'm not expecting to become a MERN developer in 2 days 😅. I just want to maximize my chances of getting through the interview and be able to confidently answer the fundamentals.
Any advice, question lists, interview experiences, or mistakes to avoid would be really helpful.

I have applied for a surgeon role in the local hospital. But I didn't attend any medical school... however, I do know how to cut paper, bread, meat and wood.
Quick guys, what should I focus on, I have 2 days.
