Anna university syllabus says something like for word processing "use MS-office or equivalent", they should not recommend a *product* in syllabus! Also there is a subject called visual programming (you studied it?) which mandates the student/institution to use a proprietary operating system called Microsoft windows and a Integrated development environment (IDE) called visual studio. The syllabus should be vendor neutral. Otherwise its a good syllabus :).
