Temporary Operating Systems

We have seen websites like GeeksforGeeks giving a lot advanced and detailed information from IEEE journals and PhD thesis for operating System.

Students tend to study out of course topics which will never be asked in placements and thus waste a lot of time.

On PrepInsta we have only covered the exact syllabus that for OS which is relevant for interviews so you don’t waste your time reading PhD level Operating System.
