Abhinav - I am currently in class 12th in India...
I am currently in class 12th in India and will be joining a college for Engineering next year. my family conditions are somewhat ok but i want to be self sufficient during and after my college so that i can pay for my own miscellaneous needs and can sustain myself before getting a job .I am interested in investing and finance but have zero knowledge about it. I need help regarding these points.
1)What are the ways to earn money as a college student in India.
2) Where i can learn all about investing(like YouTube channels, any individual or page which I should follow).
3) How should i make strategy as per short term(3-4years) investing and long term(20-30 years) investing.

While it's good that you wish to be self-sufficient and want to learn, at this point in your life concentrate on learning skills that will help you find a career, using that (or any other skill) to make money on the side while being a student, and using some of it wisely and saving the rest.
Investing is not a magic bullet. It requires both time and capital to invest.

Any thing else you would like to add ?
Avoid being tempted into trading, F&O and things like that. Avoid finfluencers. Be sceptical about easy money.
Thanks for your help... I'll keep that in mind
