Strange but true...
Nagpur University has M$ .Net and ASP included in their syllabus..
I am ready to fight with the university officials but then I do not have
enough authority..
An application on a plane paper and an application on gnu letterhead.
The two will definitely have substantial difference.
Any thoughts?

Sameer.
