SWAYAM-NPTEL

SWAYAM-NPTEL

NPTEL has been offering self-study courses across engineering, humanities and science streams for more than a decade. These are available at: https://nptel.ac.in From March 2014 NPTEL has been offering online certification for its courses, the highlight being the certification exam through which the student gets an opportunity to earn a certificate form the IITs!

These are available at: https://swayam.gov.in/NPTEL

To take this initiative forward and to encourage more students across colleges to participate in this initiative, SWAYAM-NPTEL chapter were set up in colleges (with the approval of the management) which will be under the headship of a faculty member of the college, who would be our Single Point of Contact (SPOC). NPTEL will keep the SPOC updated about all the latest NPTEL initiatives and give him information which he can disseminate among the students. He can identify suitable mentors for various courses, who can ensure that students are active in a course, are submitting their assignments on time and also clarify the doubts they may have.

SWAYAM is a programme initiated by Government of India and designed to achieve the three cardinal principles of Education Policy viz., access, equity and quality. The objective of this effort is to take the best teaching learning resources to all, including the most disadvantaged. SWAYAM seeks to bridge the digital divide for students who have hitherto remained untouched by the digital revolution and have not been able to join the mainstream of the knowledge economy.

This is done through a platform that facilitates hosting of all the courses, taught in classrooms from Class 9 till post-graduation to be accessed by anyone, anywhere at any time. All the courses are interactive, prepared by the best teachers in the country and are available, free of cost to any learner. More than 1,000 specially chosen faculty and teachers from across the country have participated in preparing these courses.

The courses hosted on SWAYAM are in 4 quadrants – (1) video lecture, (2) specially prepared reading material that can be downloaded/printed (3) self-assessment tests through tests and quizzes and (4) an online discussion forum for clearing the doubts. Steps have been taken to enrich the learning experience by using audio-video and multi-media and state of the art pedagogy / technology.

In order to ensure that best quality content is produced and delivered, nine National Coordinators have been appointed. They are:

1. AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) for self-paced and international courses

2. NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning) for Engineering

3. UGC (University Grants Commission) for non- technical post-graduation education

4. CEC (Consortium for Educational Communication) for under-graduate education

5. NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training) for school education

6. NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) for school education

7. IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University) for out-of-school students

8. IIMB (Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore) for management studies

9. NITTTR (National Institute of Technical Teachers Training and Research) for Teacher Training Programme

Courses delivered through SWAYAM are available free of cost to the learners, however learners wanting a SWAYAM certificate should register for the final proctored exams that come at a fee and attend in-person at designated centres on specified dates. Eligibility for the certificate will be announced on the course page and learners will get certificates only if this criterion is matched. Universities/colleges approving credit transfer for these courses can use the marks/certificate obtained in these courses for the same.
