Hello aspirant,

On there is no hope for him to get admission in this college cause the closing rank for this college at cse branch is around 25000 and your friend got rank around 66k. So there is no hope for him to get that college.

Hi aspirant,

 It would be difficult for him to get any branch in HBTU Kanpur. He won't get any decent NIT with that rank. I would suggest him to apply for private colleges that accept JEE Main's rank. Below is the link for the list of private colleges that accept JEE Main's rank.
