Which DSA sheet is best for placements?
If placement season is more than two months away, Striver's A2Z or the Love Babbar sheet give you the coverage; both are built around the topics Indian campus and service-company rounds ask. Inside two months, switch to NeetCode 150 or Blind 75 — finishing a short sheet beats abandoning a long one, and interviewers cannot tell which list you used.
Blind 75 or NeetCode 150 — what is the difference?
NeetCode 150 is Blind 75 plus 75 more problems, mostly extra dynamic programming, tries, intervals and graph coverage. Blind 75 is the faster revision pass; NeetCode 150 is the more complete one. If you have three weeks, do Blind 75. If you have six, do NeetCode 150.
How long does it take to finish a DSA sheet?
Budget about 25 minutes per problem once you include reading the editorial and writing the solution properly. That puts Blind 75 at roughly 31 hours, NeetCode 150 at about 63, and Striver's A2Z at close to 198 — a semester rather than a sprint. Most plans fail because they assume ten minutes a problem.
Should I do more than one DSA sheet?
Not in parallel. The sheets overlap heavily — Blind 75 is almost entirely contained in NeetCode 150, which is largely contained in Striver's A2Z — so a second sheet mostly repeats the first. Finish one, then move to company-wise questions for the firm you are interviewing with.
Are these DSA sheets free?
Yes. Every sheet listed here is free to follow, and tracking all of them on crackalgo is free with no signup — your progress is saved in your browser and syncs across devices if you do create an account.
