Hey Pratik. I’d be able to tell you how to cover drill holes in wall. Depending on the size of the wall, the methods to fix it vary. Since this is a hole created by a drill, the size would not be too big. So, you can easily fix the hole by filling it using joint compound, filler or wall putty. I will tell you exactly what needs to be done to get an even and smooth surface.

How to Fix Drill Hole in Wall?
Here are the steps you must follow:
Start by cleaning the hole and removing any loose debris. You then have to cut around the hole with clean edges to smooth out the hole.
Apply spackle, wall putty or joint compound over the hole using a putty knife. Make sure the hole gets covered fully and that the surface is smooth.
Give the spackle time to dry completely. This takes about a few hours, but you should check the product’s guidelines.
Do not sand or paint before the material dries, or else it will fall off the wall.
Sand the region till it evens out. Paint over it with a matching colour.
That is all you need to do to fix a drill hole in your house wall. I hope the steps will help you.

How to fix drill holes in wall?Since most fillers are surface-based, you'll need one that is designed specifically for deep holes. In order to prevent the issue from getting worse, deep fillers are more durable than fillers for the hairline.
Clean the hole, making sure to get rid of any loose debris. You can accomplish this using a fine brush or the edge of a scraper.
The filler should be pushed into the fracture using a tool with a flat edge. To guarantee that it is totally full, it should be slightly overfilled.
Use a moist knife to smooth it.
Check the instructions to find out how long it takes to dry; it usually takes one to two hours.
After it has dried, sand it to level it with the wall.
Apply the filler in layers if the hole you're trying to fill is extremely deep (more than 50mm deep). Wait until the first coat is completely dry before adding another.
To assist with the repair blend in with your paint, you can apply a mist coat.
I hope this answer would assist you with your query, about how to fill drill holes in walls. I hope this helps:)
