Things an Architect Should Know: How to Draw a Section

A vertical cut through a space is called a section. In a section a vertical plane cuts through the building to remove part of the building from the cutting plane. The Section is a design tool to develop space, form, light, and construction.

Yes section is something all architects know how to do but the majority doesn't do it freehand some do the same process with drawing softwares like AutoCAD but most Skip this step and just designs the 3D Space and the sections are automatically created based on the 3D model and before anyone says it's easy no it's not you still need to specify every element in your model in order to have a accurate section.

In my childhood, I used to be a section freak. I'd compulsively fill-up many notebooks w thousands of those draws, just for the sake of it. Unfortunately I can't remember what exactly made me fall in love w this technique — probably magazines 😅

Descriptive geometry is a subject that is taught in all (self-respecting) polytechnic faculties in the world from the first year of study. It's not only in architecture.
You won't be able to call yourself an engineer if you don't know how to make a section in the three separating planes of the subject being studied.

Is there any proper Full video for sectional elevation topic?

This is like saying a thing a doctor should know is how to use a stethascope, as though that's something special. Buildings are described in plans: a horizontal section, and vertical sections. Note the section should not show the elevation beyond. It's a technical drawing about vertical spatial organization, not a picture of the internal spaces.
