I'm not sure if my example suits well in here, but I would like to ask this. Did BITS-Pilani get its reputation because of being able to have tie-up with few of top 5 IT majors or did BITS-Pilani have (or has) the quality of a unique academic institution? FOSS in India needs very much an example of Big Name Corporate Acceptance. It is the adoption at Desktop which is being talked here. Many Corporates already deploy FOSS in their Server-end applications, where most users, whose opinions matter, are not aware of the advantages brought by FOSS in their own company. Are there policies restricting the disclosure of such information? Adoption is easier in academic institutions, as training / self-education is very much part of the environment. FOSS/Linux being adopted in IITs/NITs etc does'nt make much news, as it gels with the myth Techie OS for Techie people.

They had a visionary management who wanted to the institution to achieve greater heights. I should mention that that the Academic Programs at BITS Pilani were greatly influenced by the BITS Pilani - MIT (US) Collaboration which started in mid sixties and continued in early seventies. I am not aware of any similar collaborations if they are having these days. Similarly, all IITs have been individually influenced by a country specific collaboration. IITK with US, IITD with UK etc. 2. The social circumstances at BITS Pilani, starting early fifties to mid-seventies is also a great factor in making BITS Pilani having a reputation today. I was born in that campus, so I know.
