 Hello everyone my name is Anand Sartopay. With this video I wanted to share my feedback related to the NPTEL course certification and my views towards it. Till now I have completed over 10 NPTEL courses and from that the main objective behind doing that was to gain knowledge and expertise from the educators in this field especially related to the recent and current technologies that we are facing today. My perspective towards the advantage of the NPTEL course is first you have access to a very good library of courses which you know involves the current technologies which you will face in the real life. Second the educators are quite good and they are able to clearly convey the information so that you can understand. Then third there are assignments which you have to do like a quiz and it helps you analyze yourself before you go for the final test. Fourth you have access to the forum or the forum which where the other students can connect with you and even the mentors answer your query so that you know you will be able to get proper feedback. The thing is there is a proper feedback and a good course connection so that you are able to get from the start let's say zero to the end which is as much as you want to go higher and I usually do my courses over the period of time usually at the nighttime when I reach home from college and the test or the quiz I usually perform on the weekends because it will need more focus. One thing I do is when I am seeing a course I maintain a notebook and I take it as a normal course when you go for a normal course you also carry a notebook and jot down the points that you find important okay so I do the same when I am viewing the videos and then during the weekend I attempt the quiz and the notebook helps quite a lot sometimes I am stuck in some problems so I can always get a feedback through the mentors or the other students so it's useful and I usually watch the videos from my home I do not usually utilize the college infrastructure and I usually stream the videos so it helps me to be current and understand the flow it is also possible for one to download the video and see it maybe on a mobile device or on your computer I definitely use the forum for a lot of purpose and I am able to get a solution and feedback as to or even the explanation as to the reason behind the terms and the parameters and things like that for the assignment as I have mentioned I usually do it over the weekend and I take the help of my notes which I have prepared over the course while viewing the videos I find the assignment quite good with because it aligns with the with the video that I have watched previously so it's like a good flow that is there so one can easily attempt it on its own and also one more thing you get feedback within within one day after the deadline so it's quite useful I have utilized other MOOC platform such as Coursera and edX and when comparing NPTEL with them I find NPTEL is quite at par with them first thing is the course content is aligning with the recent technologies it is not like a course which tells you only theory you know you get a lot of knowledge through it and which you can apply in the industry and there is also testing of the same other difference I feel that NPTEL will also add more practical approach more practice practicals into it they have done it through the programming courses which I have taken for example C++ which had the practicals and you have to do the practical approach and you know run the code so that you can get the output which is quite good one way they can improve this also have a compiler there and there itself so that they can get the instant feedback and everything will be like in an online form apart from that everything seems quite good and at par with the competitors so it's I feel one of the great benefits one more benefit I will like to add that the cost for the certification is quite less quite minimal and that is very good a person not don't have any excuses to not take the course and get through the certification because I tell you you go to the course you complete the course and then later on you are able to give the exam by going to a physical location so this is an added advantage with other more courses does not have when you go for the physical examination and the certificate that you obtain is more beneficial when you are giving everything online it gives it gives more authenticity to your to your studies to your certificate than when you do it just online I have definitely recommended NPTEL to many friends of mine and many of them as successfully completed quite many courses from it and it definitely helped them to definitely help them to gain more perspective and knowledge regarding the field and it's always an bonus and an addition for your progress in education as well as career from the education perspective you are able to show the certificate in the college itself and you get quite applause for the same because while managing the college you are doing something more value addition this is I say value addition value addition when you do through the education and from the career perspective when you take the certificate to an industry they will definitely recognize it that's something very important because this is something you have done then the exam you have given physically and you get a get get to build projects there were there are more knowledge that you gain if you do this course and the bookish knowledge is very different from this the bookish knowledge will just get you the degree and through this you are able to enhance your knowledge so that you can apply it in the real world and my suggestion for the students out there will be definitely should try the course you don't have to go for the certification off-run you can first start with the course and then if you feel comfortable then you can go on and with the certification and the fees are quite minimal and good and my feedback for the NPTEL educators and and the platform itself is just go on be the best add more courses I think this is done on a regular basis the number of courses are increasing linearly and exponentially and one thing is maybe if possible to add more interactivity in the form of live development I think NPTEL has also started with the providing jobs in internship opportunity so this is a quite good part and I wish you all the best for the same thank you
