A student who allegedly hacked the official websites of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur and IIT Madras after being denied admission to IIT Kanpur's newly introduced Bachelor of Cyber Security programme may now get another opportunity to join the institute.
Instead of initiating legal proceedings, IIT Kanpur is considering assessing the student's technical skills and, if found competent, allowing him to apply through the next admission cycle. The development was confirmed by the institute's director, PTI reported.
