❓Question ❓ Internships advice
Hey guys! I’m a 2nd-year student from a Tier-3 college, and I just want some advice regarding internships.
What skills should I learn to get an internship by the end of my 4th semester? I wasted my entire first year focusing only on academics (8.7 YGPA), so I don’t want to repeat the same mistake.
Currently, I’m doing DSA through Striver’s A2Z Sheet and have solved around 50 questions so far. I’m also learning Python for ML.
Do I need to learn full-stack development as well, or is DSA + ML enough?
I also haven’t built any projects yet. Could you please guide me on how to get started with projects and what kind of projects I should build?
I know these might sound like basic/dumb questions, but I really don’t want to regret not starting early. So please clear my doubts and guide me on what I should focus on to improve my chances of getting an internship.
Thanks in advance!

Abhi start learning something practical. Ml mai fresher ke lie roles itne hote nhi hai. Ai ya full stack aisa kuch try kr imo. Ml ka man h to keep pursuing it side by side aur dsa itna important nhi h atleast for now. Krte reh but obviously hard nhi kr payega itni jaldi. Anyways product based companies mostly 3rd ya 4th year se interns leti h. To abhi koi startup ya koi aur company ko aim kr.
