Hello,

First Start with the fundamentals - C, data structures & algorithms. C teaches you fundamental low level programming concepts that other modern languages like Java, Python, C# etc.

Once a strong foundation is built in first year, move to a modern programming language - C# or Java or Python (any one) in second year. If possible, participate in online coding competitions.

In 3rd year, you can start with JS and try to learn any front end framework like Angular or React or any other JS library. Again, do sufficient practice to gain mastery and participate in hackathons. Along with this, try to learn SQL & RDBMS. This would complete your full stack learning journey.

In 4th year, try to incorporate your learning so far in a project by building a complete application with front end, back end and database. Publish your code to Git; learn some basic Git commands to manage your source code.

I would strictly advise against picking up any tool like Salesforce or SAP or any fancy technology like AI or ML at this stage. No one expects a fresh college passout to be ML expert or Salesforce expert. They expect someone with strong programming knowledge and problem solving ability; choice of technology or language doesn’t matter.

Good Luck!
