First, don’t stress—skipping a few classes doesn’t define your potential. Your IBM Data Science certification is valuable, especially if you:
Master the core skills: Python, SQL, and basic ML (focus on projects, not just theory)
Build a portfolio: Showcase 2-3 real-world projects (e.g., analyzing COVID data, stock trends)
Explore alternate paths: If JEE doesn’t work out, consider:
Data Analyst roles (high demand, no degree barrier)
Freelancing (Upwork/Fiverr for practical experience)
Apprenticeships (startups often hire based on skills, not degrees)
Free resources to catch up fast:
Python: Kaggle’s "Intro to Python" course
SQL: Mode Analytics’ SQL tutorial
ML: Google’s "Machine Learning Crash Course"
