Ans: You can apply for jobs on job sites and other social media platforms by searching for the skill sets that you have developed / studied

Ans: Good, you are much interested in 1st year itself in knowing what you should do during the next 3-years:

(1) Initially for 6-months to 1-year focus fully on your Studies understanding the basic Concepts of Data Analytics
(2) Create a Professional LinkedIn Profile for You.
(3) Put Job Alerts related to Data Analytics such as Data Analyst, Data Scientist, Process Analyst, Data Solution Analyst, Web/Social Media Analyst, CRM Analyst & keep adding other Job Alerts related to your domain.
(4) Whenever you get notifications of job vacancies, thoroughly go through the JD of each job vacancy.
(5) Know the Job Market Trends & keep upgrading accordingly till 3rd year.
(6) Connect with other Professionals of your domain in LinkedIn (not to ask for jobs) but to know about them/their background/their views/job vacancies, if any, posted by them.
(7) Ask your faculties (who are the best sources) to know which additional Certifications you should have to be competitive in the job market & to get ready for the job.
(8) It is highly advisable to do a job for 2-3 years immediately after completing your BSc instead of just adding your qualifications.
(9) After gaining experience, you can think about your Masters/PhD etc. in India or Abroad, depending upon your further interests, job market trends & your economic condition.
(10) You should keep upgrading your skills continuously even after you land into any job.

All the BEST for Your Bright Future.
