Personal MCT

I joined SMU for MCA Distance Education.
I have been given some bunch of books and a list which speaks about 12 odd contact sessions which I can attend for solving doubts. I have paid more than 10,000 bucks (for each semester, total semesters being 6) for just around half a dozen books., and just a dozen contact sessions.

I know about PersonalMBA.com
I think there is ample room for making a Personal MCT (Masters in Computing Technology).

The reasons are:
  • You just need around 20,000 INR to buy a machine
  • You don't need to buy any proprietary software, You get all FOSS tools
  • You don't even need to buy hard copies of books, All FOSS manuals are available (Also Wikipedia Books)
  • You get ample support from FOSS Mailing Lists and User group. And MIT and institutes have also put all of their courseware online for free download.
Whatz stopping any Free Software User Group from creating such an institute to be created?
