>Final year student at NIT (good one), thought the NIT tag alone would carry me, so I spent years chilling in sports, gym, events, and life instead of building actual skills. Now I’m trying to go from almost zero tech skills to employable within the next 90 days.

I was in a (qualifications )5-year integrated science course. Since day one I was deeply involved in college life .... 2–3 sports teams, events, gym, organizing stuff, networking, etc. Honestly, I became kind of the “golden child” in class. Professors liked me, people knew me in campus, and I genuinely did well in extracurriculars and had the plan to grind 1-2 months with code and get a tech job (high paying thats why)
guess what your boy got into a relationship in last year and wasted the time with chick which truely is a headache sometimes .

Also got 2 on campus offer ( one was of sales 6 lpa BLR and other one was business associate of some s*it 8 LPA BLR )

I thought lets grind DSA (my btech friends all were in CSE and got placed with little to no skills even reaching upto 30+LPA u/Visa) , but guess what my branch never was allowed to sit in any tech companies and dont know what the fu*k i did those days and from evening hanged out with my girl

My gf got placed in an supply chain role for 12 lpa and I didnt appeared in that interview because didnt wanted that job (this was during sept i was still delusional)
after jan 2026 , panic kicked in i was applying randomly everywhere and still got no call and then got depressed and though reliance would come at last and ill get that , guess what , due to this war and oil stuff , those mf also didnt came!!!!

now my SITUATION ,
i have 2 papers published but i want to get a tech job , i got HARKIRATS SINGH'S course and now my daily timeline looks like
6-10 basketball + breakfast + morning stuff
10-12 study
12-2 lunch and yt
2-6 study
6-8 dine and fam time
8-10 yt and random stuff
10-11 chill and scrollllllll

Main Internal Problem:

• procrastination (the timetable above you see rarely gets into action)
• doomscrolling
• fear ( i dont know , i feel to d*e and think im just a useless sh*t who has broken the family hopes and wtf im doing withh my life)
• overthinking ( making and making plan just never to do them and act on them)
• lack of execution

TODAY IS MAY 21ST 2026 ...... TILL AUGUST ( GOAL )

• get a job or start earning atleast 1L/month
• get mom+dad that fitbit air
• get them a good vacation

also

• Supportive family
• Father sole breadwinner
• No generational wealth
• Time pressure
• Late start

Questions

• realistic roadmap?
• projects to build?
• freelancing realistic?
• how to stop wasting time?
• will i reach and make my fam proud?

I know I messed up. I’m not looking for sympathy ....... I want honest advice on the fastest way to turn this around
