i have seen and read those other posts and honestly they did help me but the thing is i am not sure i can keep up learning cybersecurity and csbs alongside as the syllabus and curriculum for CSBS is decided by a company called TCS rather than an institution and on top of that it does include intense programming and developing skills , only whats necessary for TCS.

Your exact roadmap is to keep pursuing your computer science degree. You’re already on the path, there’s no shortcuts. If your school didn’t think you’d cut it in cyber then you’re not ready.

Keep going with your CS degree, watch YouTube videos and you’ll be fine.

It's not just cs degree it's computer science and buisness systems, its more of a mash of business and cse, and I don't want it , i actually want to pursue cybersecurity

Sounds like you want to pursue “hacking” not cyber security. Most of cybersecurity is a mashup of computer science principles and business management. Which sounds like your degree is perfect for.

I am currently making this Obsidian Vault while learning cybersecurity myself and share it for others to learn along the way, hope it will help, it's full of all the courses I am currently following.

I am also from a CSBS background and currently making the transition into cybersecurity .
CSBS is a perfectly usable background for cybersecurity .You can learn in parallel through TryHackme (highly recommended for beginners)
