[ilugd] FOSS in Indian University curricula
dear friends : as you might be aware, NRCFOSS worked with Anna Univ to get two FOSS electives in the curriculum since 2006. So far, about 3000 students have taken the courses successfully in B.E. (Comp Science), B.Tech (Information Technology) and MCA. Anna Univ Coimbatore will be having FOSS as core paper in 3rd in B.E., an offshoot of this exercise was to get institutions like Jaya Engg College which -- thanks to the sustained support from LUG other FOSS enthusiasts -- have made greater impact on the growth of FOSS. FOSS electives have been approved in Shivaji University, Kolhapur Rajasthan Tech Univ. Final year B.E. CSE Networking labs in UP Tech Univ are tuned to run on FOSS platform. Punjab Tech Univ a host of others are in the process of introducing FOSS. FOSS subjects -- especially Linux, Python -- have also found their way into the non-engg currirula, especially Biotechnology. Of course, many colleges/univ have got linux as one of the papers (some time a regular one, often for a term or so depending on the efforts enthusiasm of the concerned staff member). I would appreciate if you could send me the copies of / links to FOSS subject offered in the curricula. I also welcome related suggestion / queries. As part of my official duty at NRCFOSS, the syllabus info will be updated in the NRCFOSS portal HRD page ; we have also been involvin local FOSS community as and when efforts are made to interact with the various academic entities. the info can be sent to* : srinivas...@cdac.inand/orsrini.it@ gmail.com thanks and best wishes Srinivasan * CDAC Chennai is moving into new premises inside Tidel Park. Hence the NRCFOSS / BOSS portals are down. Once they are activated, I will update the available info in the HRD page, and send the link thru the LUG group mail. ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Pune University has many FOSS subjects in various curricula. PLUG (www.plug.org.in) has done some work with the concerned people right from the initial phases when FOSS was introduced. PLUG did some workshops during the 2-3 day long syllabus committee discussions and later on for teachers training program. PLUG members have also participated in some training sessions/workshops in Ichalkaranji for Shivaji University teachers training for FOSS. Those were conducted by NRCFOSS, Chennai. I will try to find out FOSS subjects in the Pune University Curricula and send it to you on your personal id.

Re: [ilugd] FOSS in Indian University curricula
Dear friends As far as our college(www.bitmesra.ac.in) is concerned only SHELL SCRIPTING is taught in 5th semester in CSE and that too is not taught in IT branch (Not even in* electives* ). We also have a college LUG( www.bitlug.in) but we as students are finding it very difficult to convince the college management to add new FOSS courses.Any similar kind of initiative would be appreciated in our college.
