🛣️ My Ultimate DSA Roadmap – From

Basics to Internships
📌 Built from my own journey that helped me land internships at Samsung
R&D, Hyperverge, and Bank of New York.
Whether you're just starting or stuck in the middle, this guide will help you
navigate through DSA smartly — with the right strategy, resources, and
consistency.

🔥 DSA Topic Roadmap (Level 1 to 5)


✅ Level 1 – Arrays & Strings

Start your journey here. Understand array manipulations, string traversals, and problem
patterns.

📘 Resource:

• Love Babbar DSA Sheet


• Love Babbar Playlist

✅ Level 2 – Linked List, Stack, Queue

Focus on pointer-based problems, linear data structures, and implementation logic.

❓ What if you're stuck?


Don't copy-paste solutions! Use the "Struggle – Learn – Implement" method:

1. Try the problem for 30 minutes


2. Search for hints or editorial (Leetcode Discuss, GFG, YouTube)
3. Watch an explanation ONLY after that
4. Re-solve it on your own from scratch

This builds real understanding.
