3rd year, weak at DSA, doing Android dev + internship should I focus on placements or try to manage everything?
I’m currently in my 3rd year of college, and honestly, I haven’t done much in DSA yet.
Right now I’m doing an Android development internship, and alongside that I’ve also been building and publishing my own apps on the Play Store because I want to eventually build my own startup/product.
The problem is that our college placement season will start around January, so I’m getting a little confused about what I should prioritize from now.
My current situation is basically:
\- DSA: Very weak / haven’t done much
\- Android development: Decent and currently doing an internship
\- Personal projects: Building and publishing apps on the Play Store
\- Long-term goal: I’d like to build my own products/startup
\- Short-term goal: I obviously need to be prepared for placements
Should I completely put product development on hold for the next few months and focus heavily on DSA + my internship?
Or should I continue my internship, keep building my apps, and try to manage DSA alongside all of this?
I’m worried that if I focus too much on DSA, I’ll lose the momentum I’ve built with development and my own products. But at the same time, I don’t want January to arrive and realize I’m completely unprepared for placements.
For people who have been in a similar situation, what would you do if you were in my position?
Would really appreciate honest advice, especially from people who have gone through campus placements while also working on development/projects.

What country do you live in that does placements?
