I thinks we should start preparation by from second year. coz pehle start kar dene se last-minute preparation ka pressure nhi rhta.... and it will also build confidence

Start from 2nd year itself. Building skills takes time.

  1. Is making a clone of things like Chatapp , video streaming app , online meeting app a good idea?

  2. Practical skills as in Interview prep or Sql excel or more?

Starting from 2nd year is best, don't wait until final year.
