A student who was allegedly denied admission to IIT Kanpur’s newly launched Bachelor of Cyber Security programme hacked sections of the IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras websites, leaving behind a message saying, “All I need is just a fair chance.” Instead of immediately pursuing legal action, IIT Kanpur has decided to assess the student’s technical abilities and may consider him for the next admission cycle if he proves his competence. The incident has sparked a wider debate on ethical hacking, cybersecurity, and whether exceptional talent deserves a second chance.
