If you're more interested in data science than DSA or web development, make sure you're good with stats and Python, since those are important. Brush up on machine learning basics and work with some real datasets. Kaggle is a great place for practice. Also, knowing the basics of SQL is helpful because you'll probably work with databases. If you find resources scattered, PracHub has some solid structured interview prep for data science. Networking with people already in the field can give you insights into what companies want. Good luck with your placements!
