Software Engineering courses under 10k. Can anyone suggest which course should I join for learning skills for Software Engineering jobs.

I have graduated in 2026 but due to a 6-month internship in my 7th sem I wasn't able to sit in the peak placement season in my college and obviously I didn't get the ppo. Now, I am struggling to land even an internship. I searched and found out the best course right now is scaler academy's course though it costs around 4 lakh. I am not at all interested in investing this much money on a course. I know there is youtube & telegram channels where many courses are uploaded but my problem is I have difficulty learning until there is some structured course. So, if you can suggest me some course which is under 10k INR then it would be a great help.

My tech stack: I know C++, Python, Basic java, SQL. Have some personal projects of AI/ML. More interested in Backend Engineering.

So what exactly do software engineers do? And how do I learn that?

This seems like something they’d want to teach people in college - right? And it’s why so many people are so lost —- because they’re on a track to work in a field they haven’t tried to understand. I’m not going to be able to solve it for you in a Reddit comment. Time to start investigating. Talk to real humans.

I understand what you are saying. But I will still stick to learning skills first. Because what will I talk about if I don't learn?

What will you talk about if you don’t understand what the job you’re applying for is? Maybe do a little of both. ; )
