In fact this is the link being shared with the colleges asking them to do the necessary to complete the migration. P.S. Please follow the mailing list guidelines and do not top post. Interleaved, trimmed posting is the recommended style. Thanks & Regards, Guruprasad ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Citing from the link: AICTE does not limit any institute from use of open source applications or open standards and, in fact, the link http://www.aicte-india.org/downloads/Commercial%20Software.pdf on its site informs all its stakeholders the opportunities available in an open environment. I think, responsible people from individual colleges should get in touch with AICTE citing Mr.S S Mantha's statement and get this clarified. -- .o. I'm a Free man.

This is welcoming ! AICTE removes the mandatory clause from the notice on implementing Office365. http://fsmi.in/content/aicte-removes-mandatory-clause-notice-implementing-office%C2%AD365 Kudos to all those who have voiced against AICTE .
