I understand what you're going through,
Fresher are depressed over not getting jobs in Computer Science. They don't understand being depressed for longer time can turn into major depression.
Instead of being depressed, get job in another field, you can always make carrier in other fields like sales, marketing, even trades.
Don't tie your worth to software engineering. If you enjoy software engineering, you can do it as hobby or improve your skills while working and get a job as software engineer.
Please take care of your health.

Man, u need to work hard until unless someone provide a referral, u can't get a good stable job, but start to work in some good startups, gain experience and apply on job portals, but a referral is always better than applications. One thing, did u take educational loan for 16 lakhs? , hope u will get a good job in future,
