Sorry for the very basic question, but, is DSA, in this context, Disabled Students' Allowance?

Data Structures and Algorithms.

Very common acronym here in India. All CS "students" just want to "crack" "DSA".

I hate this terminology and more so the underlying idea and motivation behind doing all this.

That CS is a rote mechanical thing to do for the end goal of getting a job.

I'm yet to come across a "leetcoder" type who can write even basic code without constant help, even if it's mostly algorithmic in nature.
