NPTEL Online Certification Courses

NPTEL is now offering online certification courses through its portal https://swayam.gov.in/nc_details/NPTEL 

There are 4wk, 8wk as well as 12wk courses.

NPTEL Local Chapters

To take this initiative forward and to encourage participation from more students across colleges, a SWAYAM-NPTEL chapter is being set up in colleges. Recently NPTEL has given approval to set up a Local Chapter at Ganpat University- Institute of Technology. It will be headed by a faculty member of the college, who will be designated as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC). The SPOC will be kept updated about all the latest NPTEL initiatives and will be provided with information to be disseminated among the students. Suitable mentors for various courses can be identified by him, so that students are ensured to remain active in a course, submit their assignments on time, and have their doubts clarified.

SPOC Name:  Prof. Shailesh Patel

Designation: Assistant Professor

Department: Humanities and Science

Other Initiatives of NPTEL

1. Laboratory workshops: These are proposed for learners who complete theory courses with NPTEL for them to get an idea of the hands-on lab experiments in the same area. These will be in person at the institutes most times unless the workshop can be conducted online (like programming based workshop, etc).
2. Soft Skills Workshops for improving employability: NPTEL is now offering 3/7/14 day soft skill training for NPTEL certified learners and students of NPTEL local chapters to face interviews. The training includes group discussion, 1-1 mock interviews, resume evaluation, etc.
3. GATE preparation portal: NPTEL is developing a subsite to help students prepare for GATE exams based on NPTEL courses. This will include detailed video solutions to questions in previous GATE papers, mock tests for learners and maybe live sessions for learners with experts who can help clarify doubts. https://gate.nptel.ac.in/
4. Support to attend technical conferences: NPTEL will sponsor the cost of travel and conference registration fees for Coordinators of different Local Chapters (colleges who partner with NPTEL), if the required conditions are met. This will help them upgrade and be abreast of the latest developments in the field which will benefit the students they are teaching.
5. Maintenance of SWAYAM portal: NPTEL maintains SWAYAM portal with the help of Persistent Systems as Application Service Provider. We keep adding new features based on requests from different national Coordinators. NPTEL portal for Self paced certification and Short term training: NPTEL is coming out with a portal that will host popular courses offered to learners for certification in a self paced mode. Short term training programs from various institutes will also be hosted here for learners to register to. These programs will all be on payment basis.
6. Translation of English Transcripts of NPTEL Videos: Translation of the English transcripts of NPTEL video courses are being carried out in 11 regional languages. The goal is to help the students coming from local language schooling understand NPTEL course content better.
