Do marks matter? | The bitter truth😐

Do marks really matters..? Many people will give this answer like no they don't!!....and will say If you have talent then marks are nothing (in educational field)(and they're right in some aspects)...but the Grass on the other side is not always green ...We have to look at the other aspects also...... These all things don't relate to the reality...The reality is something different ... what when your talent is being judged on the basis of your marks....?😒 Few days back I read one article in which a guy was talking about how hard he studied to get 97.6% in class 12th to get admission in his dream college as the previous year cut off of that college was 97% ... He studied dawn to dusk and what was surprising that he was an average student till 11th class....But in order to get such a high percentage he broke every record and managed to score 97.6 % ....he was on cloud nine after getting his result but who knows, The same college announced it's cutoff and it was 98%....
