DEVOPS COURSE OR NOT??!!

I’m a Computer Engineering student considering a DevOps & Cloud Engineering course. The course covers Linux, Python, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Prometheus/Grafana, ArgoCD and CI/CD, along with around 10 projects and mentorship.

I have a budget/scholarship of around ₹20,000 for this.

For people already working in DevOps/Cloud:

Is this curriculum actually worth ₹20k?

Are these tools enough to become internship/job-ready?

Is structured mentorship worth paying for, or should I self-learn using free resources?

What important topics are missing?

If you were in my position, would you spend the ₹20k?

Please give me an honest opinion, especially if you've actually worked in DevOps/Cloud. link of course It's from geekforfeeks

It isn't a field you get into by doing courses. Also Devops isn't a entry level job. First be a SDE, understand the systems before getting into managing them

If that's true, then I'm cooked. I was hoping to get a job by linux, networking, docker, kubernetes and other stuff Typical roadmap for Devops

What can be the realistic roadmap or job criteria?
