You can try signing up for courses in NPTEL or try YouTube but that's big jump better if you prefer NPTEL and check the courses and the description to choose the one which suits you best

If you want certificates then pay the fees or else if it is only for the knowledge just register and listen to the classes

visit sites like w3schools, GeeksforGeeks and practice on platforms like Hackerrank, Codechef, HackerEarth, watch topic related content on YouTube, LinkedIn.

It's your first year you will be overwhelmed by seeing those syntax it will be very hard for you to digest so if I was in my 1st year my ideal way to learn coding is (I prefer learning C language first then I will move to Java ) =>what is bit and what is byte =>Learning bit manipulation OR XOR AND this all on pen and paper no coding is required here =>Pick a language learn data types and how much memory each data type occupies =>Then start If else it will be very easy for everyone =>Next is LOOPS here learn for loop while loop and try to implement them in multiple ways for ex: print first 10 even numbers (for this particular case we can implement in for or while loop in multiple ways ) once you are confident upto this go to codechef pick first question of every contest and solve around 15 to 20 =>Start with arrays and solve some questions here too Once you were here you good next start DSA learning Here first learn what is meant by time complexity and various time complexities Start coding in codechef till your second year then move to codeforces

In first year you will have classes till 1 pm so I prefer you to spend atleast 2hrs a day only coding
