Help I am so confused

So I am currently doing my BCA from Amity University online and I’m in the 6th semester. To be honest, I haven’t built many skills yet. I only know DSA with C++, and I’ve solved around 150 LeetCode questions from different topics.

I’m thinking about doing an MCA from tier-2 private colleges in Bangalore or Pune by taking a Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme loan. But one of my cousins says not to take a loan for MCA. He says my main goal for now should be to crack a 4–5 LPA service-based company, so I should just focus on building skills and applying for internships and jobs.

But I don’t think my resume will even get shortlisted, even if I learn full-stack development. I’m underconfident because I see people who know everything still not getting shortlisted in off-campus placements. Also, I’m from a village, so I feel like I need networking and exposure. Off-campus hiring looks very difficult from what I see in the current market.

What should I do? I’m really confused. 🥲
