Day 2 Study Plan Overview

Focus on DBMS Normalization, ER Model, and MCQs. Designed for working professionals—practical and execution-focused.

1. DBMS – Normalization + ER Model + MCQs

  • Problem: Mixing theory, diagrams, and MCQs reduces retention.
  • Fix:
    • Learn 1NF, 2NF, 3NF using small tables.
    • Understand ER concepts: Entities, Attributes, Relationships, Cardinality.
    • Draw 2–3 ER diagrams from memory.
    • Solve 15–20 focused MCQs.
  • Output required: Draw ER diagrams and normalize one table without help.

2. DSA – Searching Basics + 10 Questions

  • Problem: Random practice leads to shallow understanding.
  • Fix:
    • Review linear, binary, ternary search and time complexity.
    • Solve 10 targeted problems (binary search, rotated arrays, bounds, two pointers).
  • Output required: Write logic behind each solution.

3. Office – DBMS PYQs + Notes

  • Problem: Doing PYQs without analysis is ineffective.
  • Fix:
    • Pick 8–10 quality PYQs and understand reasoning.
    • Write 5 key takeaways (normalization rules, keys, traps).

4. Night – Mini Mock (20 Questions)

  • Problem: Solving without review = no improvement.
  • Strategy:
    • Solve 20 questions (DBMS + ER + Searching).
    • Analyze mistakes: reason, pattern, concept gap.
