Ans: Hello;

You may take-up part time job somewhere so as to atleast pay the loan EMIs.

You may let the loan company impound asset acquired under the loan(bike, cell phone) and close the loan sighting inability to repay. This will impact your cibil score but it can be improved later on.

Seek help from a friend or relative to close the loan. You may repay them later when you get employed.

Avoid credit cards, BNPL, MTF and other borrowings as much as possible.

Best wishes;
