I destroyed my career for nothing - Need advice

Hi all,

I need some advice from someone in my situation.(Spoiler : Long post )

Some intro : Ever since i was a child i wanted to be a doctor (I was good in Bio and bad in maths with 56 /100 in 12th Maths ), as such i prepared for NEET , and dropped one year for the same , as my father is a farmer ,only way i would be doctor is to crack into a government college where fees are low . I worked hard for a year but i missed the cutoff mark for Gov MBBS seat by 12-14 marks , i got multiple offer letter from Gov-funded colleges with fee about 3 L per year , but as my father didn't have 3L in his bank i was not able to provide a demand draft (DD) on admission date and they rejected me.Which had a impact on my mental health.

As i had some interest in Android ROM/kernels , i took admission from Btech CSE in tier-3 college, as the fee was low and i thought i can learn coding and get a decent off-campus offer. But unfortunately for me i struggled to clear maths related papers again and had 5 backlogs over 4 years . I spend my 4 years trying to clear all papers within course time ,which i succeeded with a low CGPA of 7 . But I never learned coding well and didn't know about things like leetcode etc.

I tried months for job in 2022 , but none was hiring as i was from tier 3 college + low CGPA , i finally got an offer from Consultancy for C++ developer role .They told they will deploy me in IBM in contract to hire position with a salary of 3LPA . But on day 1 at IBM i come to know my project is Application support , and that this project was closing soon , now in 2024 project is over and am unemployed again.

Now when i am applying via Naukri i am only getting BPO calls with low CTC (below 4.5LPA ) , Noone is even considering me for SDE roles.

Only positive is i cleared CAT and got into provisional list of IIM Sambalpur, last year ,But didnot go as fee was very high for me (15L+)

I feel i have destroyed my career and even leetcode guys are not getting jobs there days . Only hope i feel i have now are : 1)Write CAT again ,Go for MBA in a decent college as i have interest in stock markets (Paid my UG fees by trading ) ,This means i will have to take 10L+ loans ? Also , is MBA worth it for someone with no finance background in UG ,will i get job afterwards?

2)Try to get out of india to any European country to do any PG taking 15L+ in loans and try to find any job there. Keep in mind i am only breadwinner in my family ,Age : 26 , UG passout 2021.

Which of the following should i try for ? I know its long post and many wont read, if you read the post please comment recommendation .Thanks
