Hey Janki,
The only guaranteed way of becoming a billionaire, is being a beneficiary of a billionaire who gives you a billion dollars. Other than there, there really isn't a secret to being a billionaire.
The first thing about being a self-made billionaire, even if billionaires don't want to admit it is luck. These individuals took huge gambles and out of millions that failed besides them, they somehow lucked it out. There are countless turns and twists where if they we're lucky, they would not be the billionaires that they are today. And most of these conditions were things out of their control, but they were just... lucky.
The second thing is having unrealistic goals and dreams. When others think "this is impossible" and give up, the future billionaire is there saying, no one else can do it, but I can. And their singular focus and self-belief (and many times, narcissism) gets them through the hurdles that stop everyone else.
The third thing that you need is a group of supporters who believe and admire you almost as much as you do. These individuals will give more than their fair share to ensure that your dreams become reality.
Last thing is to be in the United States. We have a political/social system here where we enable capitalists to exploit the working class (around the world) and become billionaires. It is championed in this country. It's much harder to become a billionaire in other places around the world.

Throughout life there are going to be many things that will change your life and with perseverance you will help people and can become a billionaire.
Find issues and problems people have and work on creating the solutions. Believe in yourself, that you can solve this issue. It will be hard work and there are going to be times you will feel like you’re on the it is too hard, or don’t know what the next step you should take, and you want to quit. When you get to this point, your about to solve what you are working toward. Read a lot, ask a lot of question and listen. Teachers are everywhere, not just in a classroom. The answers will come to you in many different was, make sure you don’t miss them but thinking that is not the answer. Sometime the answer is right in front of you and you don’t realize it because you are thinking what you want it to be and not what it really is.
My father once told me that, “You can do anything you put your mind to.” I have proved him right with anything I do. I give you this quote, so you can prove to yourself and the world, that you can do anything you put your mind to.
Be the solution, help people, be a billionaire.

Hi Janki,
One thing that may change your life is realizing you don’t need to be a billionaire to have an incredibly amazing and fulfilling life. Many people think they need more money to be happy and achieve their dreams. But they often get lost in consumerism and commercialism. They are still unhappy despite accumulating more money and things. There are people in need everywhere, and there are ways to help that don’t require money. As an engineering student, I'm sure you have a lot to offer and could be a great tutor helping those in need. Volunteering could broaden your experience and would look good on your resume.
Good luck and keep learning.
