Need Serious Advice

I have entered my final year of college (cgpa 8.2) and heard placement drives are coming. This is my resume. I have done only 180 problems on leetcode. I know majority of the topics except Dynamic Programming, but I have not revised it. I am currently revising trees, but it is getting a little difficult for me. I also know about core CS subjects - OS, DBMS, OOPS, studied apti and also read the book System Design Interview, but again I will need to revise it. I am currently doing DSA and learning Spring Boot and Android Development. I am from a tier 3 college in Pune and want a good package, that's why I am nervous. I need serious advice - Is there any specific pattern I should be solving, Cloud/AWS??, or any other topic or more revision.

More info:
- Both the projects I had built for hackathon. I actually participated in 8 hackathon but never won. I was always the one to build and carry the team.
- The experience was of E-Cell of my college, where I worked on some projects. Second was a failed startup initiated by the E-Cell. Third was as a React Native Developer in a Startup.
- I had always focused on developing projects and learning different from first year like web, arduino, hardware, python, js, etc. Started to do Striver's sheet in last of third year when a senior told, then also left it due to projects, submissions, exams, hostel, etc. I have 146 submissions in the past one year.

What to do now for placements as I just got into fourth year ??

I am in a tier 3 college in Pune (CS Branch) and will finally go to fourth year. I have 8 CGPA and also attended many hackathons (not won any), done important concepts of DSA (except DP and Greedy) and done good projects. Well I will have to revise the DSA concepts as I was not too much into practice. I am seeing a few companies coming right now but they are only selecting 1-2 students but also applying CGPA criteria of 9. That's why I am getting filter out. What are some tips that I should follow. Should I create new projects, brush up my DSA skills, take new courses or apply else where, cause I have seen many of my seniors unplaced and it creates a fear in me.
