Haven't worked after my graduation, failed in this phase

Hey, all I graduated in 2023 with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering. Got placement in exl for business analyst role and capgemini for the software engineer role. During my btech, I realized I don't want to go in software development, so I choose to go with exl offer. First, they delayed it till jan 2024, then revoked it in April 2024. I had nothing then, and no company was hiring 2023 batch students then, interviewed at some renowned firms like Zeta, and they rejected me after 5 rounds, saying not enough experience (WTF). Since then, I have been applying but not able to get a good role at any firm with the gap and not enough experience. I'm just getting calls for the support roles or client support role. Don't know what to do now. Day by day, the confidence level is going down, and the will to keep on going... Don't know in which direction or field I should pursue now I am writing this here if someone could guide me forward or share some way to get out of this failure loop.

Market is really bad these days so work on your skills and make everyday count, just like people study 18 hours for IAS, similarly spend your time learning. Believe me your skills will be your biggest friend, I am begging for sometime to learn but hectic office doesnot allow it, so utilise the time

I'm working on my skills, and based on my skillset, I got the previous opportunities but bcz of lack of industry experience, I don't even get the chance to showcase it to the recruiters. What should I do about it? Should I think of going for masters?

I'm from one of the top 2 colleges of ipu. I can understand why you asked this, since exl mostly hires from tier-1 like iit/nit..
