+ About NPTEL Local Chapter

The NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning) is a pioneering initiative by the seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, and Roorkee) and the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore (IISc.) to provide high-quality video and web course content in engineering and science. NPTEL Open Online Courses offer students nationwide direct access to learning from faculty at these premier institutions. While enrollment and learning are entirely free, students have the option to earn a valuable certificate from the IITs upon successful completion of an exam, for which a nominal fee applies. This online learning platform provides an exciting avenue to delve deeper into subjects of passion.

The NPTEL Local Chapter at SMVITM was established in May 2016 with the visionary goal of augmenting the university curriculum with MOOCs (Massively Open Online Courses) from esteemed institutes like the IITs and IISc.
