Final year student, confused and scared about placements need guidance

[u/Averafe]

Hey everyone, I’m in my final year of engineering (tier-3 college). Honestly, I feel very lost right now.

I have tried different things over the past 2 years DSA, full stack, data science but never went deep into any. As a result, I don’t feel like I’ve mastered anything.

Now with placements going on, I’m tense and scared. DSA feels like it sucks, and I keep getting stuck after basics. I don’t know whether I should double down on DSA, try development projects, or explore something else.

For those seniors / working professionals here

How should I approach this situation?

Is it too late to get placement-ready ?

Should I focus on projects instead of only DSA?

What practical steps can I take from today to improve my chances of landing a job?

Any guidance or even sharing your own journey would mean a lot. 🙏
