A Dream Undergrad Computing Institute

At last we had weekend that we termed as a creative one. The reader may find it even crazy on reading this blog-post further! Me and @Devji were thinking about a dream institute offering an undergraduate program in Computing.

We imagined one of those all time great people teaching a course of their respective specialisation in this institute. Later on Sunday i.e. today was spent in crunching for more people in this institute. Check the below mentioned image out and comment for modifications if any.
