I have been applying via linkedin, company portal which show up on google search but somehow nothing is working out, cold dm, emails almost all eventually ending in radio silence. Not asking for some shortcut just that it all isn’t making sense.

Like the name of this sub suggests, most companies that are hiring developers want someone with existing real-world experience building things. If you just went and got a degree and have nothing else to show, then you have the training but you don’t have experience.
I would suggest meaningfully contributing to open-source projects, and/or making your own projects, so that you have something to show on your resume as “experience” until you get real projects at a real job.
yes, I have been active but lately too exhausted for meaningful contributions, would start again.
