As far as I know, one usually becomes someone's acquaintance before being friends.
How does one become some person's acquaintance?
Let's say that the goal is to make acquaintances in a club/university class/whatever. I know that you have to approach the person, but what do you say next? I need a detailed explanation, since I still haven't even mastered the art of simply introducing myself - it feels very awkward, unnatural, and oftentimes my introductions are somewhat inappropriate for the social context at hand.

Club, class, etc, the easiest start is to ask a question, something you misheard or not understood. There's likely something you wonder about, so you ask , sometimes it turns out they don't know either so you have already something in common. Where can I get my restaurantion-tickets, or likewise questions are good, start with functional talk.
Thanks, this helped.
But after the initial functional/purposeful conversation, one usually has to carry out social conversation, which has no other purpose than to make a social bond. How does one do that? Whenever I ask normies for advice about that, they tell to talk about "anything" or "everything and nothing". However, this advice is very vague, and, sadly, unhelpful.
Get a standard checklist of things to ask depending on the situation. For example, if you're in college, ask where they are from, what year they are in, what their major is, what other classes they are taking, ect. Make sure you get their name, and then after that, congratulations, you are officially acquaintances.
Thanks for the advice.
Now, how do I keep the acquiantances? People often start ignoring me after a few conversations, and the reason given by them is that I talk about the same thing all the time, or keep asking too many questions.
What are some things that one could base conversations on to keep an acquiantanceship going?

Acquiantanceship is kinda just granted, you don't need to do anything to keep it going. Sometimes it evolves into friendships, sometimes it doesn't.

Thoughts.
The news. Read a news site on your laptop, and then discuss any interesting news items with them.
If it is an elective class, you could talk about why you are interested in the topic and ask why they are interested.

Acquaintance to me is making it to semi - friendship stage then only contacting the person once a year? An example would be Facebook "friends" - they know stuff about you, but they don't really do anything with you. In NT Land, acquaintances are not worth my time. Why do you want to make acquaintances and not try to make friends?

It's because acquaintances can turn to friends later on. They are also easier to negotiate favors from than complete strangers. It's not like there is a binary jump from acquaintance to friend, there are different levels of acquaintance.
