Most engineering student in India study just before exam, very few study outside the syllabus. This action encourage them to use non-FOSS tool. we all believe, FOSS in education can give better result. Most important thing, Education system should not take computing Tools from Internet, Education system must modify these Tools and create new one which fits into education system. FOSS gives this power. What need to be thought in education system is teacher's responsibility. So teacher must also be empowered.
