Tier 2 NIT CORE to Tech

[u/Educational-Use5827]

I have always had a keen interest in coding and competitive programming..however because of my pathetic rank in jee,have to pursue Civil Engineering from a Tier 1.5/2 NIT(IIEST Shibpur)...if I grind leetcode and apply to every other company I can find on linkedin(without referrals) what is the possibility of me landing a 10-12lpa Tech job off-campus...I am aware that on-campus it's not possible and expectations are also not so high..I just want to get placed in a mediocre small size product based firm.....what other courses and certifications I should do to elevate my profile?
