NPTEL National Programming on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) is an initiative of the seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, and Roorkee) and Indian Institute of Science Bangalore (IISc.) for creating video and web course contents in engineering and science. NPTEL Open Online courses were initiated so that students anywhere can directly learn from faculty in top colleges. While enrollment and learning are free, students can also obtain a certificate from the IITs, based on successful completion of an exam, for which there is a nominal examination fee. Online learning offers a new way to explore subjects that one is passionate about.
The NPTEL Local chapter was constituted at SMVITM in May 2016 with a sagacious thought of augmenting the studies of university curriculum with the MOOC(Massively Open Online Courses) from premier institutes such as IIT’s and IISc.
The certification from NPTEL will make a student get an edge over their peers in following ways:
