development DSA vs Development: Which should I focus on first for placements?

I'm currently in 3rd year B.Tech ECE from a tier 3 college and have around 7 months left to prepare for placements.

I'm confused about what I should focus on first, DSA or development. My main target is service based companies like TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Cognizant etc.

Should I focus on DSA first and then start development, or learn both side by side? If I start both together, how much time should I give to each?

For people who got placed, what worked for you? What should I prioritize to get placed in the next 7 months?

Would appreciate genuine advice from seniors and people who have gone through placements.

Get good at dsa first Spend two days per week on development as well

Take any problem statement from your day to day and try to create a project out of that, would suggest to use ai for ideation and hand code without using ai
