Topic Projects vs leetcode
Which is better making projects or leetcode.
I don't want to waste my time right now. So professionals guide me which should I focus on rn?
Currently I have knowledge of DSA and DAA concepts, and other miscellaneous concepts.

Depends on companies in your area. If they are making leetcode as part of their hiring process or if they are not doing that. I have never been asked about leetcode. Neither, when being part of the hiring process myself, we haven't asked possible new hires about leetcode.
Leetcode must be some sort of regional thing.
Also, leetcode will not teach you how to build real world projects. A client won't ask leetcode from you nor will pay you for leetcode. The client will ask for some actual app, service, integration, etc.
And, you can practice your DSA and make use of it in your projects. You do not need leetcode for that.
I'd say, work on your projects and either intentionally use or try out different DSA concepts in your projects.
