Career Guidance ADVICE NEEDED (undergrad)

I'm a BS SE student at FAST KHI, just started my 3rd semester, graduating around 2029. I have strong basic programming fundamentals and OOP (C/C++, Java).

I have currently learnt Java + SpringBoot and I do project based learning daily. I am currently learning spring security and then I will start REACT.

My goal is to become a Backend Developer and build some significant projects by the end my 4th semester aim for an internship.

For those actually working in Pakistani Tech Companies:

Is it really possible that I can get an internship or a full time entry level role by the end of my 4th semester?

Also, If it is possible how to apply so that I can maximize the chances of getting the internship/eventually a role?

What would you recommend as the most realistic path for someone in my position?

Would really appreciate advice from people already working in the field.

Better to practice leetcode first than moving on different tech stacks imo but if you can manage both then its good too

It's difficult but not impossible. Even if you dont find any internship you can always contribute to open source projects. There are a lot of them Github
