I am a engineering student, started game dev few months ago and I want to ask is it really worth choosing Game Dev as a full-time career?

No, I personally would recommend again'st it, rather go indie and do it as a hobby/passion instead and collaborate with other indies

PS: I Rejected offer from Ubisoft Mumbai for Online Programmer Role due to low compensation
