“Habu returns home after getting a bullet in the test, his eyes are wide and his mouth is wide”. However, there is a big difference between Sukumar Jamana and the current generation. This habu does not fail the exam, but challenges the traditional education policy and shakes the seat of authority. The same thing happened in IIT Kanpur. A student hacked the website of IIT Kanpur after failing to clear the entrance exam of the cyber security department. The authorities were shaken by this incident. Instead of taking legal action, the student is being given a second chance to take the exam.
It is known that the admission process for BTech Cyber Security program has been completed in IIT Kanpur. For admission in this category, the applicant has to demonstrate his skills in multiple fields, including hackathons. However, many students could not pass the exam. One of the failed students then sat at home and hacked the IIT Kanpur website. Without harming the website there is a message saying, ‘The site has been hacked, I just need a fair chance.’ Not only that, the student also shared the matter on social media and said that he had no intention of harming the website.
Without harming the website there is a message saying, ‘The site has been hacked, I just need a fair chance.’
There was a lot of response to this incident. Finally, the authority decided that the student will be given the opportunity to sit for the exam again in the second semester. Manindra Aggarwal, director of IIT Kanpur, said, “The idea of giving internship opportunity to that student is being considered.” However, at the same time, he also said that, ‘This method of gaining access by hacking the website of the educational institution is not acceptable in any way.’
Meanwhile, the talented student claims that he has been coding since the age of 13, but instead of traditional engineering, cyber security is his preferred field. Besides, questioning the selection process, he said that despite the fact that there are several vacant seats in the institution, the admission criteria are very unclear. He should have had his chance, but he didn’t. Because of which this step.
