There are many business potential in the education industry (yeh now it is an
industry) esp. in TN
1.Setting up proxy, firewall and maintaining them
2.Setting up library management software
3.Student information system
4.Setting up and maintaining college website
5.Setting up centralised learning materials management -moodle
6.Most colleges are going in for so called 'smart class room'. Plenty of
opportunity for innovative solutions
In a college I heard that a company maintaining firewall and proxy charges
Rs.50k as AMC.
