Is it worth delaying graduation for a BB M&A internship?

Worked hard and secured a 6 month M&A internship. Top 10 european bank and largest one in my country. Needless to say is that I feel lucky for landing this internship. However, I have to combine it my final year of study (which I can do by studying in the weekends), which stings. So I'll probably have to delay graduation. The alternative is to ask whether I can be absent on said exam moments (over 7 exams, so might get laughed at at my face)
