The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) is a project initiated and handled by seven Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Roorkee and Guwahati) and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. The project has been funded by MHRD, Government of India, to develop and promote multimedia and web technology-based learning open for all. Currently, more than 940 courses are available on the web portal http://nptel.ac.in for viewing and downloading.

NPTEL has been offering self-study courses across engineering, humanities, and science streams for more than a decade. These are available at: http://nptel.ac.in. Since March 2014, NPTEL has been offering online certification for its courses, with the highlight being a certification exam through which students have the opportunity to earn a certificate from the IITs! These are available at: https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in. Certification exams are held on specific dates and centers, with nominal fees and scholarships/waivers for SC/ST candidates.

We are proud to announce that our institute is an approved NPTEL local chapter since January 2016 (View College List). This facilitates our students and faculty to access NPTEL Videos (511) and Web Contents (418) directly on campus and also avail scholarships for certification exams.

This initiative at our institute is coordinated by Ms. Y. Surekha, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, who serves as the Single Point of Contact (SPOC). All are invited to participate and benefit from this program.
