    Also tell what is the scope of python/javascript in India . I'm asking this because everyone is teaching either C/C++ or Java in India. No engineering college teaches these simple language python or JS .

    Have you tried learning a language online? It isn't everyone's cup of tea. One needs to be really disciplined to follow the online course for it to be effective.
    I think you should try learning PHP/Python or any other language of your choice online first. Most tutorials available are free of cost. So, you don't have to worry about spending heavily on tuition fees, without knowing if you have the knack/interest for it.

    Tons of online help is available for learning a programming language. Most good coders I know are self-learned. They read, practice, implement, test and repeat. They dont hesitate to ask for help.

    This is entirely your own choice. Even though your engineering college course has JAVA in the curriculum, that does not mean that you will be well-versed in the language at the end of 3 or 4 years. You need to practice a lot and develop projects on your own to become proficient/super skilled in it.

    The demand for JAVA developers will not be over for atleast the next decade. So, if you can develop excellent development skills in that, nothing like it.

    However, if you believe Python is more to your liking, it is great that you can start learning it now in your free time. It's a beautiful language and you will find yourself loving it as you become skilled in it.

    Lastly, when it comes to programming, you can start anywhere! Once you complete Java/Python/PHP/C programming basics, you can simply learn the syntax & new features of the next language and become better at it fast.

    What you have to focus on is becoming a good coder. Writing good code even if it's a simple Fibonacci series program. Language doesn't matter unless you are working on a commercial project. Just keep learning everyday.
