yep, the same - I got shit marks, but I was very efficient at getting my shit marks

People who pass an engineering degree with only the minimum mark should get some kind of special cum laude.

Anyone can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that _barely_ stands.

It's that old joke:

"What do you call a student who passed their medical exam with the lowest grade in their year?"

"A doctor"

Actually I had some good luck with hiring people that have the minimum marks and huge amount of outside adjacent skills. One example is someone who was running a manufacturing operation on second shift and completing an engineering degree at the same time.

Not specifically the same but there's an adage, "C's get degrees". (I guess it's about how even if you got C's, you're still good enough to have a sheet of paper that even your class topper had?)

Cum Shite seems appropriate.

[sublinear]

I agree. Not wiping is one of the most efficient ways to get shit marks.
