If you are trying to get into the IT sector or VLSI field this will help you.

So here it is,

  • DBMS 
  • OS
  • Computer Architecture 
  • Aptitude

Language 

Choose any programming language but make sure you select an object-oriented programming language(oops) as it is mainly used by industries.

I choose Java as my first Love. :)

for Language Understanding, read the content from  Java Tutorial

It's a Link from a Website called JavaTpoint you can search the material for your desired language.

Just write "C++ JavaTPoint" and that's it.


Data Structure and Algorithm

I think the coolest thing and the most important 

So it is up to you, How you want to prepare this...

you will first be confused about How you will approach, So better go with some Level 1 questions 

like 

  • Pattern Printing
  • Star Printing

Youtubers

  • Pepcoding
  • Aditya Verma 
  • Apna College 
  • Love Babbar (roadmaps)
  • Anuj Bhaiya
  • Abdul Bari 
 These are the names of YouTubers I use to follow Just go to their channel and choose the DSA playlist and start solving at Geeks for Geeks or Leetcode or Hackerank anywhere. But you need to practice remember :) 

I may have missed many YouTubers, there were many at one time I used to search the code name and one YouTuber comes up with his video and I used to just go with it 

For Example :

 Search at Youtube "Rain water trapping problem " - Go with Any YouTuber with the highest views,   But check comments first You can save a bit of time.

  OR

I skipped this topic because there was no time and I already studied digital electronics in my branch subject but Some of my IIT Mandi friends worked on this so by consulting them I am Suggesting you 

Notes on CA

also, Just focus on basic Gates and Combinational and Sequential Circuit that's it.

Aptitude 

I started to learn aptitude too soon, yeah it was a good thing but I think I must have waited a bit.
the placement was in July and I started it in January. 

I again have to practice in order to remember the tricks and It was not worth it.

For The aptitude part, I used to watch a youtube Channel name: 

Carrier Ride
Yes, it's a skill everybody needs to work on, it is a skill where you need to present yourself in a better way, and it is also an art of selling. 

Remember "You can't get perfect in every topic but you need to make sure, you drag the interviewer to the topic where you are confident, tell him about your Project in your introduction itself, and just threw some lead to the interviewer so that he follows on"
I used to start my intro with my name and education after that I tell him about my tech stack then I say to him "I have created multiple projects using these tech stacks". 
See 
It is a Lead. 

The next question He will ask you "Tell me about the Projects" cause everywhere the industry works on projects 
Now this question is your chance to shine.

Just deliver your best presentation there on your projects, that's it, Job done!

You not only have to be prepared for the question he asks but also for the psychology.

Make sure you have a good command of the language so that these tricks land in a perfect form and for that you can practice your English skills at a discord channel via talking with random people. I used to do this :)

Also, try to experiment with yourself, the server will help you in talking with a group or with an individual. 
You can experiment with some methods while giving ppt in front of your class, like don't prepare sometimes, using some modulation in your voice, etc.
