Having completed graduation in India with a college much less in glamor than VIT, I would advice you to give yourself some slack and continue working earnestly on interesting stuff. When I graduated, I was deep-down with anxiety to get proficient in frameworks like Rails / AngularJs. Apparently, what were web frameworks in my time are AI / Big Data these days — the skills insinuated as requisite to be taken seriously.
But things are much simpler than that. Programmers solve problems and even the most revered programmers are just solving other programmers' problems. If you are building stuff, irrespective of size, scale or complexity, you're on the right track. Snub the anxiousness of not studying in the top-tier college; it won't matter few years down the line. I certainly can relate to zealousness of solving complex problems, but in my view, it's certainly not a prerequisite for personal fulfilment, or success, for that matter.
In day-to-day work, I am yet to use anything related to AI but every now and then, I find immensely time-saving project that just solved an insignificant problem.
