If you're interested into coding as a career path to follow I would suggest you to start learning now. I wish I started learning before going to a University. I would be more prepared of what's about to follow. It's your life though and your choice to make on how much time you want to invest in it or even if you want to invest any at all. Definitely don't abandon your studies for it though... Wish you all the best!

Shruti Learn other skills too but primary study is more important. You can give just 2 hours in a day for other skills. This time is enough as you are just at 15.

Honestly, coding is fun. Alongside studying is okay if you can assign your time effectively. By example many people ask how I'm able to balance medical school and code too. My schedule is mostly study during my normal day timetable but at the end of the day, I use 2hours to learn as much as I can on coding. Over the weekend, I recap everything and practice as much as possible. So yes it's possible to code and study, you'll find this skill very useful when you don't have time in the future and I encourage every student to use their free time to learn new skills, they always come in handy sooner or later. 👍

School work kind of sucks if you're not passionate, there's so much to learn outside of a classroom so be fearless. Try to get as much out of studies as you can, but never burden yourself. Information is free, start your projects and talk with others about things that excite you. Keep your grades up for college if that's what you're into, but you're an individual with talents and goals, eventually school will stop and you'll have to figure out what's next. Keep the good work and live dangerously.

You should follow what you want but I am advising you to balance your education with coding

You should see coding as a tool, such as a hammer is, you are the one holding the tool. If you have no enough skills, you might wrongly use your tool. The more you learn, the best you are going to be. Lot of amazing students know programming but this is not their major, they just use is as a tool.
