Thank you Sir for the replies I appreciate it a lot.

I am clueless sir where and what to study first I'm currently reading an ebook on "How to be an exceptional DBA"

I wouldn't want to discourage you from reading any books but I don't think that's the right place to start. I've been at this for a year and a half and I don't feel I'm even an average DBA yet!

Personally I would work on getting your CV/resume prepared so that you can confidently apply for junior SQL Server positions when you've graduated. You need to get an opportunity to get your hands dirty with MS SQL Server day in day out. Build yourself a test server at home and play around with it. Enthusiasm and a can-do attitude when starting out your IT career will help you get the opportunity you want. But as has been pointed out above, securing a DBA position as a first job is going to be almost impossible as nobody is going to make you the gatekeeper to their data if you've had no prior experience.

Best of luck.
