Ouch!

Tbf: - I was towards bottom of the class for a significant chunk of the course - It's been a while since I reviewed/wrote algorithms (but having gotten a good grade in the DSA course, it raises eyebrows) - I only recently started doing LeetCode (< a week). It's getting progressively easier, and I might just be rusty. But again, it doesn't negate your point.

Now that it's been suggested twice, seeking to study in or move to the US seems like a plausible cause of action. Given my overall GPA won't be outstanding, I will be pretty limited if I am looking to join an MSc program.
