NPTEL Stands for National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning. Indian institute of technology (IIT) are provided the NPTEL courses. The National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) was initiated by seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Madras, Guwahati and Rourke) along with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 2003. Five Engineering departments namely, civil engineering, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering and mechanical engineering and 235 courses in web/video format were developed in this phase.
The main goal of NPTEL Phase II (2009-14) was to build on the engineering and core science courses launched previously in NPTEL Phase I. An additional YouTube video courses were created in all major branches of engineering, physical sciences at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels and management courses at the postgraduate level. Several improvements such as indexing of all video and web courses and keyword search were implemented in the official website
online certificate:The objective of enabling students to obtain certificates for courses is to make students employable in the industry or pursue a suitable higher education program.
Through an online portal, 4-, 8-, or 12-week online courses, typically on topics relevant to students in all years of higher education along with basic courses in sciences and humanities with exposure to relevant tools and technologies, are being offered in sway am portal. The enrollment to and learning from these courses involves free cost. Following these online courses, an in-person, proctored certification exam will be conducted, and a certificate is provided through the participating institutions and industry, when in offline mode.
Last date for registration: last date for enrollment ends 31 Jan 2022 for all departments like CE, CSE, ECE, EEE, etc.
Use of course:
(a) Enables the student to directly engage and learn from the IIT faculty in the country in that particular subject. This strengthens the fundamentals of the student in the course,
(b) Gives the students the opportunities to explore new areas of interested field – which are not possible in regular college environment. It also gives students the opportunity to learn in greater depth in subjects they wish to master. These courses are also serving as faculty development programs (15-20% of enrollments are by faculty in different colleges).
(c) The audience in a MOOC includes students spanning the length and breadth of the India and a small fraction of foreign students. This mix of peer group gives the students a chance to assess where they stand with respect to these groups of learner.
(d) These courses also bring out the self-learning initiative of the students – where their own motivation is what drives them to complete the course and not external compulsions. This fosters the habit of keeping oneself updated up-to-date always by means of self-study.
(e) The certificates issued bear the stamp of CCE, IIT and hence are valuable additions when the student is applying for jobs helpful for interviews.
(f) Companies can also dig into this pool of candidates with specialized skills – in case they wish to recruit.
Industry associate:
NPTEL has recently embarked on an initiative called NPTEL Industry Associate to bridge the gap with the industry wherein they can co-offer courses in their area of expertise, conduct workshops for NPTEL certified students in niche domains, offer internships, jobs, etc. Course toppers are provided an opportunity to take internship with industry /course instructor
Thank you
