I'm in my second year of a B.Tech program focusing on Blockchain at a tier-3 college, and I'm still new to coding. I feel overwhelmed by the amount of information out there. I'm looking for guidance on what skills I should prioritize to help me secure an internship and a job when I graduate. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, diving into platforms like LeetCode can be super beneficial for practicing coding problems. Also, consider working on personal projects that excite you. For instance, I created an IoT CO2 monitoring system, and working on practical projects has really helped solidify my skills. You could even explore blockchain-specific projects on YouTube to get creative ideas on how to implement what you learn.
If you're studying Blockchain, take a look at your curriculum to see if you're missing any crucial topics. If coding is not part of your current studies, it might be worth considering shifting your major to something more programming-focused like Computer Science, if that's an option for you.
I recommend you start learning the coding skills that are actually useful in the industry. While blockchain is a hot topic, make sure you're not just jumping on the bandwagon without good foundational skills. Look into languages like Python or JavaScript, which are very applicable in many tech fields.
Yeah, what a shame! You should really be coding by now. It's tough to catch up when you're this far into your degree.
