    It is more faculty members and syllabus. External examiner (in case
    some faculty member conduct lab with g++) will upset by seeing header
    files without .h or not mention of conio.h

yes it is more of faculty and syllabus.

+1
we at our institution will tell the external examiner that we have done labs only using gcc/g++/openjdk etc on GNU Linux only , and also we will show them how easily we man manage and secure networks using GNU/Linux and what other benefits that has led us to do the stuff on GNU/Lunux. may times the external examiner will think that it is great to work on GNU ?linux and will not bother to look into too much of details .also many have requested to help in setting up such lab at their place , so though it may take time there will be a day in which "Let us see gcc / g++ " books will be printed and that time people like kanitkar will also join the movement.


I had similar experiences.
I have been personally involved in orienting many colleges in Maharashtra to GNU/Linux and in all those colleges, particularly SNDT, Somaya and KC college of engineering, they do teach c and not Turbo c. Not to mention they use gcc and also do all their lab assignments for Java in gnu/linux. And I have been one of the externals for final year project assessment in many ENG colleges and my co examiners in many cases were rather super impressed than getting upset.

Happy hacking.
