I think Internships are very important to gain practical exposure. One must go for internships and then only he/she will get to know what is being-on-field feels like. And marks are not everything, What are you as a person? Are you capable of handling the real life situations, Are you a learner; These really matters. 
So, never miss out an opportunity. Go for it.
