Find a college where you just have to show up for exams and get a degree brother. Brotherly advice. I know its just a piece of paper but so is a DL license. You will figure the life out like you always have. I can tell some colleges in north( Raj,HR,PB) ...Just 10k fee annually and in three years you are BCA/bcom/ba grad for 30k.
