I'm in my fourth year and just started the first semester of my B.Tech in Computer Science. Honestly, I feel overwhelmed because I don't have any strong skills yet—my knowledge is pretty basic. I've only touched on HTML and CSS, and I haven't dived into Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) with much seriousness. I began learning C++ for DSA but have only gotten through the basics. My grasp on core subjects is shaky, and overall, I'm not doing too well academically. I ended my third-year second semester with a GPA of 7.9, but I feel like it's too late for me to catch up. Is there still hope for me? What steps can I take to improve and gain some skills?

It's definitely not too late! The key is to take action. You've identified your weak areas, which is the first step. Start focusing on one thing at a time—maybe pick DSA since it’s fundamental for programming. There are a ton of free resources available online. Just dive in and start learning!
Thanks for the advice! But I'm really unsure where to begin in DSA. Any specific resources you'd recommend?
