NPTEL ONLINE COURSES AND CERTIFICATION A project of NPTEL Under NMEICT, MHRD In association with NASSCOM Powered by Google

http://nptel.ac.in

NPTEL Online Certification (NOC) • Open Online Course (Enrollment is free)

• onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in

• Proctored Exam(optional for a fee) • cities across the country

• Certificate • e-verifiable, from IITs

What is an Open, Online Course? • Exactly like a course you teach on campus

• Course starts on a certain date • Course duration

• Lectures every week • Tutorial problems every week • Discussions every week

• Course ends on a certain date

• Except that, everything unfolds on an open, online portal • Start date and an end date • Course duration

• Videos of lectures released every week • Online assessments and assignments • Online discussion forum

Campus vs Open, Online Course

On campus

Students come through admission

process, prerequisites

Course on campus with peers, face-to-

face interaction

Credit towards degree, placements,

recognition

Open, online

Anyone can click and enroll

Course at a distance, self-

motivated

Recognition mechanisms are

still evolving

Testimonials from Students Programming, data Structures and Algorithms : Thanks for conducting such a nice course, I learned a lot from video lectures! Brilliant job done by Prof. Shankar Balachandran (IIT MADRAS)!

Programming, data Structures and Algorithms : The content and teaching of professors are very nice but I had my college examinations so I was unable to submit assignments in time. But I downloaded and watched most of the videos and they are very useful. Thanks to the professors and TAs also to the entire team of NPTEL. I am using NPTEL for more than one and a half year. Thank you all.

Introduction to programing in C: Awesome initiative by IITs, IISc and HRD Ministry. Can the video lectures also include more and more examples to better understand the concepts ?

Introduction to programing in C: Excellent work. Need to take it to rural region where quality education is lacking.

Kindly Advertise online certification course like Advertisment in News paper, social media, Paper sent to Educational institutions,these are courses offered by NPTEL. Only one line for NPTEL admin Connect to maximum no of students for courses offered by NPTEL. Thanks

FAQ • Where do I get information about up-coming certification

courses? • I just came to know that an online course that I wanted to

join has concluded its run. Is there any chance of this course being offered again?

• How do I enroll/register for an NPTEL online course? • Is there a fee to enroll for an online course? • What is the eligibility criterion for registering for an online

course? • How old should I be to register for an online course? • How many courses can I enroll for at a time?

FAQ • How many exams can I give during a run? • How will I come to know about assignments and deadlines? • How do I find out my score in each assignment? • Will the score that I get for the assignment(s) be counted

along with my exam marks for the final score? • I may not be able to submit all the assignments. Will this

hinder my final score? • What if I have limited internet access? How do I watch

videos online?

Thank you
