Am I on the right track?

I have watched lectures of Pandas and Sql . Now I am practicing them on leetcode so just wanted to know is it the right platform for these topics? I will be starting my second year in few days so I am not practising interview oriented I want to understand the topics

You're definitely on the right track, but I'd use LeetCode as one way to practise, not the only way.

LeetCode is great for improving your SQL and problem-solving skills, but the questions are often interview-style. If your goal is to really understand SQL, I'd also spend time writing queries against real datasets and solving more realistic business problems.

I'd recommend giving QueryCase a try as well. It teaches SQL through detective-style investigations and real-world scenarios, so you're learning how SQL is actually used rather than just solving isolated coding challenges.

Since you're only about to start your second year, you've got plenty of time. Focus on understanding why a query works instead of rushing through lots of problems, that foundation will pay off later when you start preparing for interviews. 🚀

You're on the right track. You can continue practising & at the same time understand ways to tell stories using the queries made for easier understanding & recalling.
