As someone seriously preparing for technical interviews and aiming to get placed by April end, I wanted to share my honest review of the GFG 160 DSA Course — for anyone confused about whether it’s worth the time.
Right now, I’m deep into mastering DSA and completing Striver’s A2Z sheet alongside, but this GFG course has been one of the most structured and motivating resources I’ve used. Unlike scattered playlists or random topic dumps, this one gives you a clear 160-question roadmap that takes you from basic to advanced level problems in a really smooth flow.
What I Personally Liked
- Progressive Difficulty: It starts with simple problems and gradually levels up. As someone who's already solved 125+ questions, I still found new patterns and twists that challenged me.
- Full Topic Coverage: Arrays, strings, recursion, trees, graphs, stacks, queues, dynamic programming — sab kuch included. Great for anyone like me who's targeting product-based companies.
- Keeps You Consistent: The roadmap format makes it super easy to stay on track. Even on hectic college days, doing 1-2 questions helps me maintain momentum.
- Helpful Explanations: Most problems have good editorials or active community discussions. It’s not spoon-feeding, but it gives enough to push you in the right direction.
What Could Be Better
- Some Explanations Could Be Deeper: Especially for topics like recursion or DP, absolute beginners might feel a little lost without extra references.
- Progress Tracking Issues: Make sure you're logged in, warna kabhi-kabhi progress save nahi hota.
Final Verdict:
- If you’re someone like me — grinding DSA every day, aiming for placements, and tired of unorganised YouTube playlists — I’d recommend it.
- It’s helped me gain confidence in approaching unseen problems, and I’ve started noticing patterns way quicker than before.
- If you’re serious about DSA and want a roadmap that keeps you accountable, this is 100% worth a try.
