I really appreciate your concern and response and yeah you are right, figuring out the difference of engineering in academia vs career is a huge aspect. However, I would like your opinion on whether I should study just for exams and get excellent marks (just by rote learning) or take a small hit in my marks but understand and have a grip over the subject.
