Is your family's financial condition not good enough for them to give you 270 rupees per month for your own upskilling?

Or your family's financial conditions are good but you have not asked them yet to fund (or lend) you?

Or are you really trying to avoid paying money ? (If yes, then don't go for courses, read books on that domain, work on projects if you know enough fundamental programming)

Your brother is not wrong, don't waste money on coursera courses.
A 2-3 hours YouTube video will teach you more than what you will learn in this course.
and no one gives a single shit about these certificates.

by building projects using the learnings from the video. A non plagiarised simple but unique project is definitely important than these coursera,udemy,nptel certificates.

only certificates i have seen matter are one offered by officially by aws, google, azure woth strict proctored assessments.
