What do IITans, BITSians and NITans think of their IIIT Hyderabad peers?

My brother is an IITian and his best friend is an IIITian and he has great respect for his friend. Although his friend had poor academic records and even had a disciplinary committee on him, he was a pro in coding. His skills even got him an offer from Goldman Sachs, but he did not accept the order and started working on his start-up for 2-3 years. Currently, he is pursuing his MBA from a reputed  B School.

My brother was impressed by his friend's decision to give up on the lucrative offer to pursue his dream of a start-up. His passion impressed him and he realized that it actually stems from the ethics he learned from IIIT Hyderabad.
