Err:6 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports Release 
404  Not Found [IP: 192.168.3.1 80]

There are no line-breaks in what you pasted, and it makes it hard to read. But either way 192.168.x.x is not an address that can be routed externally, so you have a networking/firewall/proxy issue; are you at a uni or somewhere with strict network rules? Because of the bad formatting it's hard to see which line got translated into 192.168 (or a local address) — guiverc, Jul 31 '19 at 07:29

Do you know your network structure? What is on 192.168.3.1 ? Also please add output of sudo grep -r "192.168.3.1" /etc/apt and sudo grep -ir proxy /etc/apt to the question. — N0rbert, Jul 31 '19 at 11:30

Are you using any proxy or VPN? Prolly a PiHole. If yes, try disabling them.
In your sources.list there's usually a space after https:// - try checking it.

Sources:

Ubuntu repository does not have a Release file

Bionic Default Repositories do not have release file - sudo apt-get update not working

No i am not using any proxy or vpn and i double checked the sources.list it seems to be correct – Vignesh A Jul 31 '19 at 07:22
I don't know that much about networks, but that IP doesn't seem right. When I pinged that host, this is the IP I got: 103.123.234.254. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems like the issue is on your side. Did you change some settings recently? – Tomáš Tomovčík Jul 31 '19 at 07:27
i changed my ip 2 days ago does this cause the problem? – Vignesh A Jul 31 '19 at 07:30
Well there you go. What do you mean by changed? Using static or messed up with hosts file? Try reverting those changes if possible and try updating again. – Tomáš Tomovčík Jul 31 '19 at 07:31
my company changed my ip for monitoring my network so i cant change the ip is there any other way? – Vignesh A Jul 31 '19 at 07:37
It's contacting their server. Try asking admins in your company if they have the same issue. This is something I never personally encountered. – Tomáš Tomovčík Jul 31 '19 at 07:41
