NPTEL
ONLINE COURSES &
CERTIFICATION
A project of NPTEL
Under NMEICT, MHRD
NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced
Learning) is a joint initiative of the IITs and IISc. Through this
initiative, we offer online courses and certification in various
topics.
Online course: Free for all, Certification exam: For a nominal fee.
Learn anytime, anywhere! Only requirement: Interest and
enthusiasm to learn :)
NOTE: NPTEL is part of SWAYAM project which is providing free
quality education.
NPTEL - Knowledge is FREE
• NPTEL is an acronym for National Programme
on Technology Enhanced Learning which is an
initiative by seven Indian Institutes of
Technology (IIT
Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur,
Madras and Roorkee) and Indian Institute of
Science (IISc) for creating course contents in
engineering and science.
NPTEL - Knowledge is FREE
• NPTEL as a project originated from many
deliberations between IITs, Indian Institutes of
Management (IIMs) and Carnegie Mellon
University (CMU) during the years 1999-2003.
A proposal was jointly put forward by five IITs
(Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur and
Madras) and IISc for creating contents for 100
courses as web based supplements and 100
complete video courses, for forty hours of
duration per course.
NPTEL - Knowledge is FREE
• Web supplements were expected to cover
materials that could be delivered in
approximately forty hours. Five engineering
branches (Civil, Computer
Science, Electrical, Electronics and
Communication and Mechanical) and core
science programmes that all engineering
students are required to take in their
undergraduate engineering programme in
India were chosen initially. Contents for the
above courses were based on the model
curriculum suggested by All India Council for
Technical Education (AICTE) and the syllabi
of major affiliating Universities in India.

X = Number certified
X <= 10 : 1 person is the course topper
10 < X <= 50: Top 2 of the course
50 < X <= 100: Top 5 of the course
X > 100 : Top 1%, 2%, 5%
• All toppers have to get >= 60
consolidated score
• Gets a topper seal on certificate and is
showcased on the portal
Cloud computing course: toppers are students, faculty and industry
people
Multiple courses completed - a
consolidated transcript can be generated
Courses to be included can be chosen
