SWAYAM Local Chapter

NPTEL has been offering self-study courses across engineering, humanities, and science streams for more than a decade. These are available at: nptel.ac.in. Since 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 from the IITs! These are available at: swayam.gov.in/NPTEL

To take this initiative forward and to encourage more students across colleges to participate in this initiative, we are setting up a SWAYAM-NPTEL chapter in our college (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). The SPOC will update about all the latest NPTEL initiatives and give pieces of information to the students. SPOC will 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.
