There are many starter video on YT, stick to one and study diligently. This is just what you need to do right now. Do not worry; things will settle fine.
P.S. - Do not regret for the things you didn't get for which you didn't work on.

Thanks for the advice
I was in a similar boat 2 years ago
Was shit scared of DSA.
In a do or die situation worked very hard, going through YouTube videos, solving leetcode questions for 3-4 months.
Come to the placement season I did very well and got a decent offer.
I think 3-4 months for DSA is sufficient
If you work hard and smart, and your porgramming basics are clear and have a couple of good projects from your coursework etc.
If you do not even have the prerequisites then maybe my advice will not be entirely valid
Anyways it's never too late
Don't regret your past and procrastinate because of it. Get started today itself
Eventually after 1-1.5 months you will be able to see a drastic increase in your dsa skills

Hey brother, stop worrying. Youāre thinking about 10 things right now. Start from scratch. There is still time. As someone who interviewed college students in my previous company, I can say, you donāt have to be a pro, most companies look for students who are good learners and can be trained. Donāt worry about market, that is something you canāt change.
Pick a lane. Python, Java etc, start there. Learn DSA. Youāve got a lot of time.
