What are some good placement/internship stories of students from Thapar University?

I have a few friends from Thapar University and from them, I heard many stories regarding placements. Here is one of such stories. 

One of their seniors faced some initial problems in the placement phase. He was the best in networking and web development in the entire college. He had such skills and knowledge regarding the course that he was considered better than even some of the faculties. He was the only student in the entire college to make it to (GSOC) Google Summer of Code. In spite of all this, he had a CGPA of 6 because he didn’t just study for scoring so he was very carefree with the subjects he was not interested in, which brought down his CGPA.

Initially, he was left out to even participate in many placement interviews, due to his CGPA. Almost 75 percent of the CSE batch was placed with some companies in some cases they also got multiple offers but he was left out. 

In the next phase of placements, there was a company offering consulting roles. He was not shortlisted for the interview because of his CGPA. He was sleeping in his room when he got a call from the PR saying he has an interview in 15 minutes. 

What happened was, the company officials called PR and told them they have a technical post and they were looking for the best candidate and his name was coined. He wowed the officials in his interview and got the job offer. But he didn’t take it since the job profile didn’t interest him. 

Following that he got 3 more internship offers and 3 more placement offers because he was specially mentioned by that one company.
