1 Introduction
This document outlines a comprehensive 30-day study plan designed to cover the following
areas:
• Technical Topics: Java Coding (Fundamentals and Advanced), Unix (Basic to
Advanced Scripting), HTML, CSS, JavaScript, UI/UX Design.
• Exam Preparation: TCS KYT (including quantitative aptitude, logical reason-
ing, and verbal ability) and topics reflected in the resume.
• Additional Topics: Basic Machine Learning concepts using Python.
The plan includes detailed day-to-day timetables, resource links, subtopics to be cov-
ered, and built-in breaks for meals, rest, and personal care (e.g., washroom breaks).
Adjust the timings as per your personal routine.
2 Plan Overview
The 30-day plan is divided into four weeks:
1. Week 1: Foundations & Core Coding Skills (Java fundamentals, Data Structures,
Unix basics, TCS KYT orientation)
2. Week 2: Web Development & UI/UX Essentials (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and
UI/UX principles)
3. Week 3: Advanced Topics & ML Overview (Advanced Java, Machine Learning
fundamentals, Advanced Unix scripting)
4. Week 4: Integration & Final Preparations (Comprehensive project work and in-
tensive TCS KYT exam practice)
