should I focus more on academics or skills ? guidance needed.
okay soo I am a 4th year btech student of CSE and well since its my final year i was preparing for the machine learning intern role but my grades havent really been great ( we talking 6 cgpa) hell its far below from normal. the thing is my mom is pressing on me for my grades and well i understand i need to have good grades for on campus placement and for higher studies but i was thinking i could make up for my low grades by developing skills. but like i wanna know if i really can. should i fix my academic grade and worry about skill later? can I like get an internship later after graduating? or should i refine my skills more and keep my grade (i will try to get as much as i can this semester but itll probably be only 6.5 at max) which way should i go??
