A student who hacked the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur (IIT-K) website after being denied admission to their cybersecurity program may get another chance to join the institute. IIT-K is considering evaluating his technical skills instead of pursuing legal action. The student, who allegedly left a message on the website reading 'Site is hacked. All I need is just a fair chance,' will be invited for an assessment on campus.
