Good Abilities along with Decent Grades is the way to go Forward

In academics, grades play a very important role in defining a student. In fact, a student is judged by the grades he gets in the college rather than his abilities. But nowadays it has changed a bit and now abilities are overshadowing grades. When employers conduct interviews, they now give more importance to a student with good abilities than a student with good grades but poor abilities. 

Reason is that an able person would not cost much to company when it comes to train the employees for the jobs and would also learn quickly. It is better that you give importance to enhance your abilities but do not ignore your grades because many employers set criteria for applicants to have a certain minimum grade to apply. Both of these aspects are equally important in landing a perfect dream job that would take aspirants towards higher levels of success.
