Am not sure whether you guys already know about this, but as I was at the place who did this I thought of pointing these to you..

Amazing ,
Thanks a lot
Well, I don't mean to propose the same as a lot of things in the syllabus [1] were indeed felt to be too heavy or over loaded for starters but Anna University has been quite successful in implementing the FOSS Elective and there is quite a good track record of performances in this elective. We can review it and modify it according to what we feel would be appropriate and need-of-the-hour.
Ya it is difficult for immediate replacement definitely few subjects could be replaced at the beginner level, as there is some time required for the trainers also to get used to new things
