Hi Priyanka,
which stage are you in the preparation? That would be helpful to understand your ideal next steps.
In general, a good preparation for a consulting interview will move through the following areas:
In general you should focus on three areas in your preparation:
All these steps are important for your final assessment. Fit questions preparation takes less time than the case to reach a good level, so it is ok to dedicate less time overall compared to the case prep. However, be sure to have all the key questions prepared - if are unable to provide a good answer to questions like “Why our company” or “Why should we hire you” it’s unlikely you can move to the next round.
Best,

Hi,
Since you have a very limited period of time here is my advice:
If you have not done any cases yet:
Start preparations:
I recommend the following approach:
1) Start with "Case in point" book - you can download this book for free everywhere. It's not the best guide on how you should approach the cases, however, it will give you the basic understanding.
2) Start practicing cases with partners here or find them locally. !!! Find experienced partners or coaches who can provide a good feedback!!!
3) Purchase and read Viktor Cheng Book (Amazon Kindle store) and listen to LOMS (his website).
4) Start with the following cases (relevant for ATK) and apply some high-level recommendations on structuring:
Best,
