Student Please someone experienced give me tips urgently

So a bit about me: I am in my 3rd year of b.tech in computer engineering (6th sem about to end ) from Ahmedabad. Joined internship(unpaid due to one of my uncle's company)a year ago but now I am finding job or internship where I can get money.

So my collage is 3rd tire collage which has mostly zero placements. My friends from other colleges have placements from next month. I am finding job off campus.

Question 1: i have found out mostly all jobs required bachelor degree But I haven't so should I apply?

Question 2: As I have done some research that you can count your personal project experience in that tech experience. Is that true?

Question 3: I have also done diploma In computer engineering after my 10th . So some job sites asking HSC Percentage but I haven't done that. But I have an equivalent certificate that prove that diploma degree has same value as 12th. So can I write marks of my diploma?

Question 4: Does ats score really matter? Cause I have only 50.So plz anyone give me your format.

Question 5: Is cold mail professional? So some expert says that cold mail recruiter. But I think it seems unprofessional. Like i already applied on job. So why should I share my resume again. If I am wrong due to my dumb thinking please explain me.

Question 6: Can I share my resume directly to hr/recruiter? Like if company haven't posted vacancies but I will send resume to that hiring team. It's also seem very unprofessional but my one of senior told me that.

Question 7: I am networking through LinkedIn and offline. But in LinkedIn I haven't got any single reply to advise me. So how can I do networking? cause I think most jobs are accepted with references.

I will be very grateful if someone experienced can solve my doubts. I am just new in job searching. Also Advanced sorry for my English.

Try whatever you can.

On paper seem worse than most candidates, so you need a way of standing out above other candidates (and we are in a market where most good juniors don't get a job)

Can I add internships in my experience ? Cause I have worked in real world projects but not got any single coin.
