National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL), a joint initiative of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), has launched new courses on
1. Electric Vehicles and Renewable Energy,
2. Design for IoT,
3. Business and Sustainable Development
The courses are free of cost and are taught by IIT and IISc faculties.
NPTEL offers certification courses through the MOOCs format. Learners need to watch videos online, submit assignments on a weekly/monthly basis and can register for an optional proctored final exam. Students can request for transfer of credits once they clear the NPTEL certification exam if it is approved by the educational institute they are affiliated with.
Not it seems that reputed Indian institutions are upgrading their course list with futuristic courses very fast, and I think it’s a good sign of a better India and a better future in technology.
