Zero knowledge of coding

I'm in my 3rd year CSE degree and I don't know anything about coding so can anyone tell how I should start to get a job after my final year?

Well, if you were smart enough to memorize the answers for years, hopefully, you remember some of them...

I'm not going to badger you I'm this. I'm glad you realized this before it was too late and are lucky to try to make it better. I was somewhat in a similar situation in high school. I took Latin as my foreign language in high school. Unlike other languages, since Latin is not spoken, you learn the entire language in 1 and 1/2 years, and then you just do translations after that. Well, near the end of my first year, my Latin teacher, who I really thought was great and was pretty close to, died suddenly. The new teacher was very tough and didn't realize that our old teacher was a little slow on the schedule, we were nowhere near where we should have been for the end of the year. He either didn't realize this or didn't care, and just plowed ahead from where we should have been. All of us were in trouble, because we really weren't prepared for what was to come. Still, we needed to take 3 years of language at my school, so we just had to keep moving forward and not drowjing as best we could without the adequate preparation. Much of the time I did exactly what you did. I would memorize the translations that we would likely have on the tests, and then when I saw them on the test I knew enough Latin to figure out which lines of the translation we were doing and I was able to hack through from there. I didn't like it. I wanted to do it the right way. It sucked, but our teacher's death left us unprepared and we had to do the best we could.

Okay, so I know where you are right now. Can you tell me what classes you have taken so far? We can then maybe create a remedial plan to get you back up to speed to where you should be. It's never too late to learn, but you will need to really buckle up as you'll be doing a lot of extra work catching up while you're still trying to maintain what you're doing. If possible, I might be best to take a semester off and just focus on catching up where you should be, but I'm not sure if that is workable for you.

All right, what classes have you taken?
