 Good morning to all myself from Sakarchand Patel College of Engineering and I'm belongs to Sakarchand Patel University and I'm this for the Sakarchand Patel University. Today's we gathering for the for introductory session for the NPTL awareness and normally what today's shooter is by engineering and other branches is also familiar with the NPTL courses but other courses pharmacies, dentists, science college, which is not be aware in our campus as much as NPTL started to do. So today's we request for the sessions and we are should do. So what is the agenda for the today's session. So normally it is, we know that NPTL offer the number of MOOC courses, but how we can take the benefit definitely we just enhance our knowledge, but with that we can offer the number of MOOC courses. It is, we know that NPTL offer the number of MOOC courses, but how we can take the benefit definitely we just enhance our knowledge, but with that we can also capture the certificates so in the future in our resumes, right in our CV we can show that for the faculty members again the as per AICT rules, right, eight weeks, 10 weeks. So normally early we are just targeting the one or two FDPs, right, physicals or online eight weeks or 10 week FDPs. So it is also beneficial NPTL give the certificates and it is equivalent to a physical FDPs. It is again the some courses not only just our curriculum, it is related to the enhancer right now the current as per market areas. So we can also just clear that courses, enhance our courses soft skills and definitely it is related to our in average of the communications and other technical speaking and every technical writing it to soft skill is also important. So related courses is also available and NPTL starts so we know right now the new for the local chapters, but we heard from the number of students and then how much we can take the advantage from them. So we will learn today's from the expert how we can do these things. And now I'm over to just to give the head of the IQC cells, which is our just a Dr. Sachin Anasi. Sir, over to you. Thank you. I'm very happy to be part of this NPTL workshop. And that's what we were introducing and our mehul sir has introduced us. I'm very thankful for NPTL for organizing this event in association with Sanctacan Patel University and and Brindavan College of Engineering. Thank you NPTL and thank you Brindavan College of Engineering to be part of us. We are a Meru University. We are a multi-disciplinary research university where we have medical, we have paramedical, we have technical courses and Sanctacan Patel Engineering College was already been registered with NPTL and they were doing a wonderful job. But we wanted our whole university to get into it. So the suggestion came from our college Spock and then we registered at Sanctacan Patel University as NPTL and that's what Mr. Mehul Patel is the single point of contact. Thank you Mehul sir for taking up this initiative with NPTL. So now we are trying to merge medical, paramedical and technical courses and they should get benefited and they should learn a number of technologies, sciences through this NPTL and SWEM platform. So we are looking forward from NPTL that this medical and paramedical students should also get enrolled and we have to strategize this thing in our university. We have developed NPTL and e-content coordinators which are going to be part of this event as well as they are going to take care of this registration and enrollment till the certification. Also we wanted to know from NPTL coordinators from NPTL IT Madras basically we go through that. We are 85 kilometers from Gandhinagar from Gujarat major city. So we just wanted to know during this interaction can we have a center during the examination time. Because our students are basically from the rural background and they have to move around 100 kilometers to enter to a center where it is in Gandhinagar or Ahmedabad. So this we would like to know can we have a center here and what is the strategy for that maybe in the future time so that our students will be more getting benefited about it. Just to share, yes, NPTL 2020 has actually enforced us and has actually made us to work in all the mode plus COVID has encouraged us so hybrid mode and digital learning has come out into a very important aspect. And I'm happy to share that Sankal Chen Patel University has slowly and steadily but we have moved for NPTL 2020 and because we are, as we said we are medical, paramedical and technical. So a lot number of discussion happens how to impart all those stuffs because NPTL 2020 mostly for medical it is little bit of, you know, not highlighted. But we are trying our level best and we have entered into hybrid mode of teaching we have entered into evaluated courses we have entered into ideas based system. So that's what we wanted now NPTL and swim to be the whole university as a common portal and to go ahead with that. Also, be during our time, I am it's faculties learning was a challenge until as you don't go into it. So there's a better platform where our students can learn from it and I am faculties and the reputed Institute faculties, and they can get benefited. So thank you NPTL. Thank you, Spock of both the colleges. Thank you principal, for being part of this event. Thank you sir. Thank you so much. Over to you sir, Dr. Good morning, everyone. First of all, thanks to professor Dr. Sachitanan Singh sir. I have given and explained everything sir and also thanks to NPTL program coordinator, you are conducting wonderful courses. So myself, Dr. Good morning Principal Brindan College of Engineering Bangalore already sir has had explained there are a few benefits sir, and what is the purpose for the students they have to attend in online, the main purpose is okay NPTL is providing quality of courses for the students as well as the working professionals in the free of cost. It's very important sir when our period okay we have applied and cleared these courses in 2004, five, six, seven it's good for for the students and as well as working professionals. Second one is so one students had this certificate they have a lot of benefits a lot of benefits for getting job job point of it's very important sir is nowadays most of the industry they're asking okay industry 4.0 certified courses especially once the this course will be teach by the IITs and IACs then it will be takes one more step high for the students for getting placement and second one is and the new people are providing flexible learning schedule along schedule allowing students to learn their own space and students will have some doubts sir is it mandatory course for the students as well as the working professionals but it's a highly recommended instead of saying okay mandatory it's a highly recommended courses and the main thing is they can learn from the expert peoples from the IITs as well as the IACs but once we had sir already being a technical teachers we know sir what is the teaching style of the IITs and IACs when compared to the other technical institutions and students they have some doubts sir can I get job through the this certification of course definitely it has more weightage when compared to the other certified courses in New Holland what they are getting okay what are the benefits and third one is sir it provides certificate of completion which can be useful for demonstrating knowledge and skills to potential employers and fourth one is they also make a very good addition to the resume in terms of extracurricular activities and my question is I'll suggest all the students irrespective of any engineering disciplines as well as the science disciplines you should handle this course it's very important for your career not too along with the your degree courses it's mandatory my suggestion is it's mandatory it's compulsory don't say it's optional or whatever it may be even though they are blanks to technical courses or discipline basic science courses it's good for students as well as the working professionals in a free of course nobody will give the nobody will give this type of certificates in online so the students will they have a lot of doubts sir why should we attend the NPTL courses why should I attend the swine courses because they doesn't aware about this type of okay courses then my suggestion to each and everyone you should it's compulsory it's highly recommended courses you have to enroll you have to complete these courses and you'll get the certificate once you get the certificate you can add easily into the resume you can easily add definitely definitely industry will see okay once we got certificate from the top level certificates from the IITs and I and ISC level expert what they taught in the online courses and for this I conclude my speech thanks to NPTL coordinator and also Professor Dr. Sajid Anand Singh sir thanks to for associating with you people definitely sir in future we want sir especially for we have more students for engineering so from first day to and fourth year we have some more than 800 to 900 students along with the discipline some other disciplines we cross the more than 1500 students and we need sorry in future we did our own center for conducting this NPTL workshop or other activities in coming our future days sir thank you once again each and everyone thank you thank you sir over to you ma'am hello Nusia ma'am thank you sir I'll share the PPT with you I'll share the video with you on that you may be familiar with this logo this is the NPTL logo we'll start off with it so NPTL is today a lot of initiatives put together it's not just about creating courses and putting it up on the website but we have certification not just certification for one course but it is also clubbing courses together to make it into a domain for faculty we have FDP courses which fetch you career points then we have internship opportunity for students we have a soft-scale training going on for local chapter students and so on so this is what this presentation will talk about okay so you might have all heard about these two terms NPTL and Swayam so Swayam is a project of the ministry the government of India and they created this in 2017 and said that all these agencies that you see below right I am Bangalore UGC CEC NCRT NITR AICP they all have to offer courses for certification under Swayam so NPTL is also a national coordinator under Swayam we primarily offer courses in engineering the UG level the bachelor's level the mtech ME level some PhD level courses also but since we have courses that are there in the management and humanities division inside IITs we offer that also on NPTL NPTL also coordinates with some institutes like the ISARS to offer say the physics chemistry mathematics courses we work with the triple ITs we work with national law school Bangalore we work with some medical institutions to offer medical related courses so maybe 90% of our courses will be engineering related humanities management and 10% is something else we help so NPTL comes under Swayam and we coordinate this primarily there are other agencies also so one thing to remember when you are going to Swayam dot gov dot in and you try to enroll to any course so you try to join any course please check whether the national coordinator is NPTL if you want to join the NPTL course because if you just search for say a database management systems course right maybe there is some other college also offering it with somebody else's coordinating so the course name that we offer will also be database management system theirs will also be that possibly so how do you actually differentiate if it's an NPTL course on every course card we will have a logo of NPTL I showed you when we come there but you can check that and then you can join the course okay that is something that you have to look out for okay NPTL started in 2003 the vision mission that we have had is to record the content that is being taught to IAT students and put it out for anybody to watch and view so that nobody can say I didn't get a chance to prepare for IATs I am not in the IATs today I cannot get access to their knowledge to their teaching hence you know I am denied this opportunity nobody can say that today more than 2000 courses we have in our repository you can go there and you can actually access the courses for free you can just go there you can scroll you can watch all the videos we have more than 50,000 hours of video in our website you can access all that for free there is no charge there is no free a fee at all to access our content okay there's somebody who's asking is NPTL useful for students of LLB so National Law School Bangalore NLSIU is offering two courses I think in Jan I don't know if we have in July we had two courses I think and more are coming in that so specific to law we do have a couple of courses IIT Karakur has a law department so from there we have some courses coming in but otherwise you can access the general courses that we have also say on management or English those might be useful too yeah so whenever you think of a website right what really do you look out for say how many people access that website comment how much content do we have in a youtube also whenever we go to and watch a youtube video or a youtube channel one of the things we look at is how many people have watched that video or how many subscribers are there in that channel correct so this is their NPTL statistics we have more than 1.3 billion views of the NPTL videos okay so this is like huge huge for a technical channel which has no entertainment you can't call NPTL videos as entertainment there is no song and dance or something it's all faculty from the IITs IIC teaching serious stuff there and for that we have more than 1.3 billion views we have 37 lakh subscribers on our youtube channel so any of you has not subscribed to our channel today I think I would say you're missing out on something go to our youtube channel subscribe for our updates so that you get it go to our social media handles subscribe to our social media handle so that you get the latest updates from NPTL and this is where we are today as of NPTL okay so these are what we do at NPTL today and if you do an NPTL course what is the use of it so the very first point is credit transfer I was just talking to Dr Satish also about it and said that maybe we should try to see whether students can get credit transfer for the courses that you do from NPTL but yes even if you don't get credit transfer I think you get a lot of knowledge from NPTL courses for instance say what are the kind of courses we have that we would recommend to students in your college correct so we will say that we have a lot of programming courses so we have programming and C, C++, Python, Java programming and all that so if you are say a BSE physics student or a BA English student maybe a BCOM student as part of your program in the college you would not be learning programming possibly so you can go to NPTL you can learn the programming course you can learn a bit of programming and also get that certificate along with your program wherever you go today to any company you want they use some kind of a database they will have some kind of coding that is there they will have some kind of software they're using for in within their company it's good for y'all to know at least something about it okay that is the first part the other thing okay what are the other courses we have that is useful for you if you're planning for higher education you want to go in for a master's degree supposing you want to strengthen your fundamentals your foundations you want to maybe do some more courses from other institutes so that you're confident when you're attending interviews those courses will be available on NPTL so we have all the UG undergraduate courses you can go through that you don't even have to write the exam for each of these courses you can just go through the videos you can try solving problems you can watch many videos try to get knowledge from it and strengthen your foundation so if you're going for higher education I would say the courses are really useful so first thing I'll say try something like programming courses then you go in for higher education probably you want to try and strengthen your fundamentals the third thing try to learn something that is of interest to you which you possibly cannot learn otherwise for instance we have courses on German language teaching you German teaching you Japanese teaching you Sanskrit so if you want to learn any of these you can come to NPTL and learn so for instance German is taught only by maybe the Goethe Institute and maybe some other institutes here the same course is taught but it is free for you and if you want a certificate you can write the exam but otherwise too you can learn the German language for free same thing you can learn Japanese language why are these useful maybe you go to a company that has branches say in Germany Japan they have opportunities for people to go there but you need to know the language so at that point this becomes very useful for you so you can try to learn other languages also through NPTL courses okay maybe you're technically very strong you have good foundations you have good knowledge in your particular program but maybe your English is not very good hence you're not confident about speaking we have a lot of courses like soft skills development soft skills enhancement how to attend an interview the body language that you have to have when attending an interview interpersonal communication skills leadership skills so we have a lot of courses like this that you can also go through it will give you a lot of tips on how to present yourself how to ready yourself for such situation so that having the knowledge you can also be confident when you talk to somebody and you are presenting or being in an interview so that's another set of NPTL courses that we have as part of what we offer so anybody who wants to learn I think should be able to get at least two or three courses of their interest that they can join and learn joining is free like I said there is no fee at all it is all completely free and you can watch it there are no live classes these are all recorded lectures so you can watch at your convenience if your college there college time is say 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or something in the evening you have time you can sit and watch NPTL lectures on Saturday Sunday you can watch it there'll be one assignment every week you have to solve the assignment and you have to submit it for that also you get 10 days of time so you can watch the lectures you can try solving the assignment maybe a couple of you friends are joining the same course you can all sit together you can learn from each other you can solve together take help from your teachers and you can do the NPTL courses so there is no such thing as there'll be live lectures maybe you'll miss a few lectures because you have college or something it is all video lectures along with assignment okay so the first part is credit transfer and learning from our courses apart from it if you do very well maybe we should go to next slides yeah so this is the credit transfer I don't want to discuss too much about this because we I think your university doesn't have credit transfer so I'll skip this slide and so credit transfer just as a piece of information for maybe the faculty who are out here IATs do do credit transfer from NPTL courses we do it at the BTEC level we do it at the master's level for PhD working professionals for them to get credit transfer also we do it so IATs also do credit transfer from NPTL courses it is not just the outside colleges that have to do be ourselves do credit transfer from NPTL courses okay yeah this is an important thing I would say so we have a program by which the toppers in the courses actually get internship opportunity with the faculty in the IATs so whoever has offered that course they take it normally about two three five interns during summer or winter if you are a topper in the course if you do a course very well and you become a topper in the certification course then we give you an opportunity to intern with the faculty so we are trying to scale up these numbers covid hit us also so we could not get them but we hope it to be at least 200 300 students who can intern at the IATs with the faculty so this is a wonderful opportunity for you to come and stay you know in the city be in the IAT Madras or IAT Kanpur or IAT Kharagpur or IAT Bombay lab you get to interact with the faculty members there you interact with their PhD scholars there you can do all of this which will be wonderful if you are especially thinking about going for higher studies you'll get the idea of what is done in these institutes I think it's a really good opportunity for students outside of the IATs to come in and experience the IATs here so there is internship then we also do soft skill training so there are many colleges who provide it on their own but there are also some colleges who do not have this training for the students so if college students in local chapters they participate in NPTEL courses then for those students we are providing soft skill training so this training is of two types we do a one-week training or we do a two-week training depending on how much time the student can spare and the college also wants the students to do so here we have group discussion practice we ask you to write your resume and we give input on the resume we ask you all to present about yourselves give feedback about how you should talk where you should look your body language and so on and there are also a one-on-one like every student will get half an hour with a trainer to discuss about how they should also do so the right side photo you see is a one-on-one where we do mock interviews we try to simulate an interview and see how you're responding and then give feedback on how you should do better in your interview so we do soft skill training for students who do NPTEL courses so this is something that we do from NPTEL again if you look at numbers we have finished soft skill training for more than 2,000 students currently and we are doing about 10 colleges a month and we hope to scale it up so if you're I don't know Pederpally college has done it but yes we can extend it to y'all also and we can get it done okay so there's a 7 or 14 day training program that I was talking about next okay so somebody was asking will we get jobs with these NPTEL courses how is it helpful to us and so on when we do surveys of NPTEL students and where they have gotten placed these are the companies that they have gotten placed so far this is like some of the companies are on it's not all the companies that they've gotten placed for but they have said that the NPTEL courses have really helped them when they went for the interviews when they show a certificate to the interviewer and say I did a course with the IATs I got so much marks in that course it really does help in the job interview so those people also ask questions on that assuming you've studied well and you can answer it will definitely help you that outside of the college syllabus you have done something more to learn and skill yourself also companies approach us and ask us do we have students in particular areas that we can send them their resumes so we also collect resumes of students on our side and if they're interested we send these out to the companies and the companies call them for interviews go through their levels of recruitment and we have been able to place NPTEL students from our side also in some companies so we are still working on it I hope this will increase we are talking with more companies on this front but otherwise even if you have like two or three courses from NPTEL and the certificates for it I think it will be hugely useful because of the logos we put on the certificate okay yeah the next one there are a lot of students learners faculty who do multiple courses with us there are people who do the courses maybe you know they do three courses in a semester four courses in a semester they are top us into a three courses every semester there are people who have done a lot of courses with us I'll make this another type of recognition we give to NPTEL learners so you can go to NPTEL website and at the top we have a link called NPTEL stars so click on that link click on any of this you will see how many people are actually doing multiple courses with us so if students are thinking oh I don't have time and I'm so busy I can't do it you should just see to see these pages to see how come these people who are working professionals who are students in colleges just like you or who are maybe you know studying or faculty or something how are they able to get the time to do so many courses if they can get the time I think anybody can get the time right you just have to manage your time on when you're going to study and not waste time on something else that is not important etc so this page I would say please go and see so these are the kind of domain scholars superstars evangelists and all we have we have more than about 3000 as I can just calculate on the fly that we are going to have these people doing multiple courses and they are NPTEL stars with us today so there is something called domain certification that we have currently come up with in the last two years so what is a domain right so a domain we have created just two club courses together and maybe about five or six courses we have put together and we say that if you study this six courses and you get more than 60 in the course in each course not just pass it by getting a 40 then you get a domain scholar certificate so why is this important this is important because it shows that you have specialized in a particular area so for instance we have a programming domain so in the programming domain we have courses such as C C++ Python database management course and then maybe cloud computing course and so on so if you do a programming domain right and you do all the six courses it shows that you have a solid foundation in this particular area so when you go for an interview and you actually show a domain certificate versus just one or two certificates from us that will make more of an impact on the interviewing person so this is something we recommend it is more just to guide students on what to study to become to become and specialize in one particular area we found that many NPTEL learners do four or five courses but they do random courses that are not connected to each other so this domain will guide you in what to study if you want to specialize in a particular area we have about 53 domains today in all branches of engineering management English and for faculty we have a faculty domain basic and advanced also so that you can also go through that part of it so you can go to our website there are more details on domains there you can we can talk about it later too okay yeah so these are some of the domains we have so for you it might be relevant the English studies we have a domain psychology we have a domain management we have it in marketing operations patents and intellectual property and economics and of course engineering and all we have a couple of domains so if you're a general student not an engineering student I would recommend the programming domain for you if you want to try out something do the programming domain or do the management domain that will be really useful for you so if you're an engineering student of course you can try any of the domains relevant in your particular discipline or engineering or you can do a cross discipline so for instance I'm maybe mechanical engineer I like electrical engineering you can actually do the courses in electrical engineering and you can get a domain from there so here nobody stops you and says hey you're in mechanical engineering department you cannot study electrical engineering say power systems course power electronics course you are not allowed to study that there is no such thing like that anybody can study any course as long as you can cope with it so you can also do a cross department study by doing domains from any of what is listed here this is what a domain certificate looks like we give this we list all the courses you have done and we assign it out of course from the specific IIT that we are giving it from so how do we do lab courses is it online not really we do it in the institutes we do it in various institutes such as ISERS IIT you can come here you can stay for a week at the institute you can do the lab experiments you can listen to faculty giving one or two lectures in the day and then do a lab exam and take a certificate so what is the advantage of this you will get to see really modern labs you will get to see what the state of the art labs are in these institutes you can see the equipment that is there the modern equipment that is there you can see the advanced research that is happening here you can interact and get explained on all this equipment so we had very successful labs being run at all these places this is a wonderful opportunity again if you do the theory course in NPTEL those people we will permit that you can apply and come for these lab certification courses and you can do the workshops here okay so that was the idea behind the question we asked you what else do we do at NPTEL this is for faculty in colleges so faculty in colleges under the AICT scheme we explicitly have an MOU with them where NPTEL advanced courses if you do and pass you will get an AICT approved FDP certificate so that is for faculty in AICT colleges for those under the UGC scheme they have given a broad guideline that if you do svayam courses there will be some career progression points but the actual logistics I'm not sure you'll have to check within your sorry university so that is something that is there but we see that more than about 20 30 000 faculty write our exams every semester and most of them apply for the FDP certificates also this is very very useful for faculty I will say because you don't have to spend money you don't have to take leave you don't have to miss your college work and go to some institute stay for a week or stay for 10 days and then do an FDP course you can do the FDP course online itself just like the students you join for free on svayam portal you go through the course submit assignments and then you pay the 1000 rupees and attend the final exam and get your certificate once you get your certificate you can apply for the FDP certificate to us and get back to that's all it takes to do an FDP course with us today so this is very important for faculty I hope this is clear this is what the FDP certificate looks like you can see that it has the signature of the director from AICT also there is a regulation under which they have approved this the AICT logo is there so this you can present when you are going in for your promotion interviews right the conversion that they do is a four-week NPTEL course is equivalent to half FDP of one week an eight-week NPTEL course is a full FDP of one week and a 12-week course is equivalent to one and a half weeks FDP equivalent so this is the equivalence of it okay yes the next thing I wanted to talk about was gate coaching so we have started a new link on our website and somebody has given us CSR money for developing this and providing whatever I wouldn't call it coaching but yes gate preparation whatever we can help students with to have and prepare for gate exams free again we are trying to do from our side so you can go here and we have given solutions to all the previous gate questions we have given videos solving those questions we have extra questions that are coming up practice questions that will be coming up small courses linking all the videos that are relevant to gate so we will be coming up phase one is only over phase two and phase three we will be coming up within the next six months so keep watching this link on NPTEL website if you are preparing for the gate exam okay that is one new initiative we have come up with the next initiative exams outside of India so till 2020 we were doing exams only in India where you have to go to a center and you have to write it and then we got a lot of requests from people outside of India saying they also study from NPTEL courses and they want to write exams with us so now we help to do that also people outside India can also write exams NPTEL exams and get certificates from us okay yeah so translation is the next effort so for people who are asking in what languages do we offer courses the faculty teach only in English for now but the English transcripts we translate into eight languages so we do Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali and Marathi so that's the languages that we are translating it into so Telugu we have a lot of transcripts that are translated into Telugu language so the faculty will talk in English but you can also read what we have translated in Telugu or Tamil or Hindi whatever is your language and you can understand it better we are keeping the videos in English so that you also learn English because when you go to work somewhere English will be the primary language you have to communicate in so this is something we're doing one or two courses we are getting in regional language for instance this time in January we are doing a machine learning course in Tamil language the faculty is going to teach in Tamil language there is a signals and systems course that is coming out in Hindi language in July semester we are getting an R programming course in Hindi language so only two or three we have most are in English we don't have too many other language courses so that's something you can check let me take a question from the chat there are one or two saying I'm from commerce background I'm from BCOM what courses we can take so for BCOM students we do have a lot of accounts related courses you can check those out go to management department I'll show you how to filter and learn from it you can go there and you can see how to do it so you can check out management related courses in which we have accounts related commerce economics related courses that's something you can learn or if you're learning all that anyway in your college right I would strongly recommend programming courses for your learn at least one programming language to know what is programming how do people program whether you write the exam or not I would say please write the exam but yes even if you don't write the exam at least try a course do the assignment see whether you can do something about it or if you're not doing that I would propose the English courses I would propose the you know the German language or the Japanese language course that you can learn from those are what we have quite a few for you to choose from I would say more than 100 we would have for BCOM level students at least okay yeah so these are translation how many courses we have in each language so in Telugu we have 48 courses that are translated for now so that's what we have right okay we have also something called special lecture series so we also have industry people come in and present lectures so these are again free to watch very interesting topics very very distinguished people who come and present lectures these are vice president CEO CTOs of companies like IBM cap Germany enforces that we've had in the past IAS officers who have come and spoken to us film directors who's come and spoken to us journalist in the Hindu a director at Hindu entrepreneurs so I would really say you should go and watch these lectures when you have time even if you missed it last year it's okay but listening to such people is very inspirational you know what they have done how they have worked how they have brought up new companies how they started a company where did they get their idea from these are all really interesting to listen to I would say please go back and listen to some of these lectures it will give you a tremendous amount of information knowledge and maybe there'll be some topic to talk about also when somebody asks you something it will widen your knowledge base okay this is something that you can see and if you're wondering saying how many students study how many courses right maybe you think some students study only one or two courses and that's all we can do that's what is useful right look at this there is one learner who has done 47 NPTEL exams with us that's as good as a degree program or more than the degree program that all of you are doing how many courses you'll do there I don't know maybe if you're doing a BSE it's six into six maybe 36 courses or if it's a BTEC also if I say six courses per semester it's about 48 so he's an equivalent to that okay so there is one learner who's done 47 exams 34 exams 33 exams 32 exams and so on so you can see maximum people yes 5.6 lakhs do one exam but there are 1.4 lakhs who are doing two exams 48000 doing three and if you look up to 10 exams even right lot of them are doing 10 exams 8 exams with us so maybe you should think about and plan for how you're going to study which courses you're going to do as you are in college and every semester try to do at least one or two NPTEL courses and finish with a certificate that will be really nice that you can do that with your college okay this is something we wanted to say who are these people who are doing these courses they are employed they are faculty members they are students all people like you so it's not like these people come suddenly from somewhere or they are also special they are so privileged nothing like that they are there in all towns in all kinds of environment they also have their constraints but they are also studying from these courses and doing multiple courses okay this is what the certificate looks like it has the svayam logo and it has the okay it has the NPTEL logo this was uh then it has your photo on the certificate it has uh as you can see the elite tag the gold medal we've just put it here to say if you fall under these categories you can see all these coming on your certificate then the institutes of IIT Madras offers the course uh at the bottom where the institute logo and round this foot you can see IIT Madras logo there IIT Madras the name will be put there signatures from our side will come and so on so this is the way that you can see how the certificate looks we had 20 lakh people who joined our courses in january semester 20 lakhs who joined our july semester and in 2021 we had 16 lakhs who joined the jan semester 16 lakhs who joined our july semester so it's not 5000 it's not 10 000 it's not one lakh like I'm seeing on the chat window here but it is 16 lakhs who was our enrollment number last semester out of these exams those who have written over the last five years it is 15.1 lakh people have registered for exams with us and they've gotten so our total enrollment in NPTEL today is 1.58 crores over the last seven years from when we are running this certification project we have finished 3 500 courses almost and enrollment is 1.58 crores 15 lakhs exam registration that's the thing so you can see how big NPTEL is NPTEL is not something that we are doing 100 200 500 people or something like that every semester when we conduct exams in March and April it's 3 lakh people who write our exams so that's the level at which we do we conduct exams all over the country in about 170 cities we conduct exams outside India like we said so this is our data so somebody tells you okay I haven't heard of NPTEL you should really tell them saying that 15 lakh people enroll every semester and 3 lakh people write exams how come you're missing out you know that's the answer I will give them okay you can see a lot of feedback about NPTEL on our social media handles we keep regularly posting about it we are present on instagram on facebook on youtube community and you can see all the feedback that we are posted there about people have gotten jobs people have gotten through the soft skill training who've done our courses course feedback everything is available here so do subscribe to our social media handles so that you can get updates from our site okay I'll just give a brief on NPTEL local chapter because I don't know how many of you are faculty from different colleges who are not a local chapter with us so NPTEL works with about 4,500 colleges today across the country and we have coordinators in each of these colleges who are called a single point of contact or SPOCs and through them is how we are so successful so thanks to all the local chapter SPOCs whoever is watching this workshop today was not watching the workshop today whoever is anywhere they are the champions for NPTEL within the colleges without them I don't think NPTEL would have grown so much so thanks to all the SPOCs of the local chapters and I would like to just briefly say how you can become a local chapter if there's somebody watching who's not at a local chapter so to become an NPTEL local chapter there is no money involved there is no financial dealing you just need to send us an email saying that you want to become a local chapter there's a google form in the website fill it up and we need a coordinator in your college who will be our local champion so the head of the institution the director the principal whoever has to send an email saying that we would like to become a local chapter and so and so will be the single point of contact for NPTEL and that's all once we receive the email we'll verify some details and we will make you a local chapter so what why should you become a local chapter can students and faculty from colleges who are not local chapters participate in NPTEL yes totally you can participate you can be a free learner you can learn from our courses without belonging to a local chapter but having a local chapter in a college is a big advantage there are logins that the single point of contact to the SPOC has one is a login on svayam portal one is a login on our NPTEL website and here they get information related to enrolment exam registration the marks the transcripts the certificates all of this is given to the SPOC directly that they can actually see and they can share with their management also the other benefits are if we don't have a center in your particular city you can request for that if they have more than 200 people writing exams we can facilitate centers in your particular city faculty can become mentors you can follow the progress of your students in the colleges that you can do another important thing I will say is we have CSR support from companies who also give us money to help students from economically weaker backgrounds to write exams so this fee waiver we give only two local chapters so if you're a local chapter and you have students who come from economically weak backgrounds if they're doing NPTEL courses writing exams once they pass it we will refund 50 percent of the fee to them based on the college's recommendation so that is something that you can do also all this data that we give to the SPOC can be directly shared with bodies such as NAC and NBM and they come for accreditation and you can see that we are showing this data inside your dashboard that has also been very helpful for colleges is what we came to know these are local chapters that we have this is a statewide distribution I think Maharashtra is the highest followed by Damnadu and of course we had these telling Anna comes in maybe four seventh position with 234 local chapters currently okay every semester we also we have some few local chapters outside of India and some countries they're not very active but yes they do keep using our courses as they can we also rate local chapters every semester based on the participation from their side in the particular semester so how many people have become toppers how many people have written exams how many people have you know done well based on it we also rank and rate the college local chapters and we publish this list publicly on our website every semester other interactions with local chapter people we do soft skill training like I already spoke about it we take help of people here to go to exam centers as our representatives faculty can help in translation effect efforts and yes like I said we rate it and we give recognition to the spark and the college also every semester so these are certificates that we give them based on the formula that we have to the college and the spark yeah these are other categories that we have on based on faculty participation based on how local chapters improve semester after semester there's a separate category part science colleges also yeah star LC who have been in the top 10 or top 100 over the last four years that's something that we have done that's it as a presentation that we had today so I hope you learned about NPTEL about what we do here the NPTEL office the head office is in IIT Madras we have our head office here about 70 people work in NPTEL office in IIT Madras we have smaller offices in IIT Kanpur IIT Kharapur IIT Roorkee IIT Gahati Bombay Delhi and ISC Bangalore also and we all work together to keep this project going it's one of the most successful inter institutional projects that eight institutes come together to work on this project and kind of run it without a break and to kind of offer 2000 courses that we have today that's what we want to say so my suggestion and you can say maybe I'm old enough to advise all the young students out here also is try out NPTEL courses today go and go to Swayam website join a few courses learn from it sample the videos there you may or may not be able to follow certain videos you may not like certain courses maybe some courses are difficult it's okay you can drop off it is not like a college course that once you join a course you have to be in that course you have to complete that course otherwise somebody will think something somebody will ask you something or maybe a paid fees that will get wasted there is nothing like that in an NPTEL course so you can join even five courses you can join even 10 courses and you can try out week one videos you can see what you're interested in and then shortlist it to maybe one or two courses follow it up see whether you're able to do assignments maybe it even comes down to one course in a semester but follow it till the end do all the assignments watch all the videos register for the exam do the exam and become a topper in it I think that's something that is very very doable I hope you were able to get that message as we presented in the last one and a half hours that is what we were trying to tell you that don't be afraid that these courses are from IATs I cannot do it it will be very difficult there are 15 lakh people who have written exams with us so far it is not like all of them are coming out from IATs or they're all like very well accomplished they're all coming from highly studious backgrounds something like that they're also students just like you in any college what you need is the interest to study what you need is the motivation you have to put out time it is not like two days before the NPTEL exam let me study and get a certificate you will not get a certificate every week you have to watch videos every week you have to do the assignment then you can definitely get a certificate so you need hard work and it will pay off okay but it is not like I cannot do it there is no such thing as I cannot do an NPTEL course anybody can do an NPTEL course we showed you people from age 86 years doing NPTEL courses we showed you people from all nook and corners of the country doing NPTEL courses there is local language translation support of transcripts in some courses that will help you understand the subject better your faculty are there to help you if you do not understand something your friends are there to help you if you all join a course together discussion forum is there ask questions ask doubts if you have something there but try out and learn something which is outside of your college curriculum today when companies are looking off a recruitment one of the things they see is okay your college degree is there apart from this what have you done that is something that all of them are looking at are you able to learn on your own are you able to study outside of college curriculum are you picking up any skills that are relevant for any job you might be trying for this is something that companies do look out for it's not just a resume saying BSE with this VA with this that might be one thing but then we look at okay what else what else what else that is something that all of us look out for when we are recruiting people so it might be good to have a few certifications to at least get your skills enhanced to learn what you're interested in to try and explore new opportunities that are there it is free there is no fee to learn you can download and watch the videos you can download and do the courses you can enroll in swim courses and do it only the final exam has a thousand rupees fee that also we are giving fee waivers if you're a local chapter so you can use that also you have to pay first get your exam done pass the course we will be able to help you with fee waivers on that front also so don't let money be a barrier don't let anything else be a barrier put in your time put in your effort learn from NPTEL get skilled and I hope you do much much better till then all the best and I hope that all of you do enroll to a course thank you okay so many of you maybe thank you ma'am yes sir from our Sakarjan Patel university point of view what we think King before this workshop attending the impact of local chapter at our university so previously in the these are just samples right in our university number of faculties and student is also meeting the certificates and roughly the last year right it is more than this one but we have these kind of the figures roughly for faculties 30 faculties and more than 200 students take the advantage in the last year but uh body toward university it is not so much so we are planning to apply this one at our all the institute which is belong to the Sakarjan Patel university so for what how we can synchronize so for that planning we just this word at our university we develop the our e-content development cell and a part of the e-content development cell right we started the local chapter in the january and it is also lucky for us on the 11th january we get the approval from the NPTEL and on the 27 we just arranging this workshop so thanks again sir as a part of the whatever we are planning so definitely the students and faculty take these courses but again the related with the domain courses domain certificates right NPTEL starts we are also planning for that and again meeting at our local level for that how we can achieve that once for the not only just attending the courses we are also planning how we can developing this kind of the courses and to initiate that once we again our number of faculties is already registered with the diameter right and through we can planning to just learn how to creating these quality courses and again how we can helpful to the all the students by committee not only for our
