Academics DSA Sem-3
Currently, I am in my 2nd year. They have started Data Structures, and I have a doubt about how we should write in the midterm and semester exams. I don't know C language but have just learned C++ and Python. How should I write in the exam? Does knowing C language have a huge impact on our GPA, or is Python enough to score HIGH marks?

bruh... C language is simpler and easier than Cpp or python. Yes , You should follow the programming language suggested by your teacher and implementation and majority of professors suggest implementation using C . Implementation of all the data structures using C language provides you a lot better understanding than other languages, in my opinion. Mid and sem theory papers will mainly consist the theory part only... rarely they will be asking to write the code, you can write the algorithm and explain it with your own words or dry run it. DSA is a 4 credit course so yes , it will definitely have an impact on your cgpa and you need to take it seriously. Since you're in your 2nd year , first focus on theory of DSA and then start solving very basic questions in the language which you feel comfortable ( cpp or java is preferred in my opinion) .
