 I am Parashyan. I took database and fundamental database as a course. The course was very good. I am from Saram Vishweshwari Institute and the course was very good. They explained the topic in very detail and I got very much knowledge of database from this and the exam was very good. It was all taught and it was kind of test like everyone should give. So did you take the test online or offline? I took the test online. Okay. So did you find it easy to answer the questions? Yeah the question was easy. Actually the topic they taught in the class was very deep and it was very good. So there's no problem in the exam. Okay. Were there questions from outside the portions covered in the course? No, no. There were topics in which they have not gone in such a depth but the question was asked. There were some questions. Okay. Did the questions come from assignments? Some of the questions. Okay. So how is NPTEL course different from your normal courses in the college? Actually from NPTEL the basic thing you will get the certificate from IIT. The basic thing like everyone won that and you can you get a chance to study from teachers or faculties of IITs and to gain a knowledge how the studies goes in IITs. Okay. Did you watch videos lessons by yourself or in group with your friends? I watched the video myself. Okay. So on average how much time did you have to spend on NPTEL video lessons every week? Every week I spend maximum one hour one and a half hour or two hours. Okay. So how do you plan to use this certificate? Definitely for placements, cells like for when I when to write something in my CV. Okay. And that's all that basically I will use in for my CV. Okay. So any other feedbacks that you want to give about NPTEL? The course was basically theoretical. I was expecting much much more practical use of it. I was expecting much more practical use of it. That was little disappointment because in database they can taught me like how to create in database in real life like in using some downloading and SQL overacle database and all but it was only theoretical. That was the like that was the thing I disliked about the course. Everything rest of all things fine. My name is Anir Kashyap and I'm from Avi College of Engineering. I have taken up this online course from my friends and the course I've chosen is loss of thermodynamics. Okay. So did you take the course online part of today? I took the course online. Okay. So did you find it easy to answer the questions online? Yeah. Okay. Were there questions from outside the portions? Were there portions outside the portion? No. Not at all. How NPTEL course was different from your normal courses in the college? The NPTEL course, it was more of application based. It was more of application based than normal theory classes which was done in college. Okay. And on an average, how much time did you have to spend on NPTEL videos? I would spend, per day I would spend around one hour. Okay. How do you plan to use the certificate? Certificate, most probably I'll be giving it to my college people. I might be getting HSS grades depending on that. Okay. How do you propose to use this course? Like for internship or any projects or for your job? How do you use it? Since I'm a mechanical engineering and loss of thermodynamics is very crucial subject for me. So I think I'll be using it in almost everyday life. Okay. Any feedback on NPTEL? It was pretty good. It was very useful. Hello, this is Dr. Anuradha. I'm Associate Professor working in Department of Computer Science and Engineering R by M.C. Bellari. I had opted for the course outcome based pedagogical principles for effective teaching learning. And this is the second time I had opted this course. First time I was unable to complete the examination section. The present day, today's examination section I've taken. And I would like to highlight on two different aspects. One is regarding the time duration, three hours for this exam session. I feel it was more time allotted for conduction of this exam. Hardly one and a half hours session was required to complete the 26 questions which were given in the exam. And secondly, with respect to the question paper pattern, much of the questions were targeting to only one specific criteria. The computations and all they were related to one particular syllabus. The entire section of the syllabus, what was explained in week one, week two, week three and four was not covered. Week two was given less priority. So I would like to suggest that all the sections should be given equal prioritization based on for conducting the exam. Thank you. Okay. And did you take the exam online or offline? Online. Okay. I mean, did you find it easy to answer the questions online? Yes. Were there questions from outside the portions covered in the course? They were not outside. Okay. Did questions come from assignments? Yes. How NPTEL program is different from your normal courses in the college? NPTEL provides us a wide variety of learning approaches. It not only concentrates on the university curriculum, we can learn behind the university curriculum and compete with the other higher up level of institutions. We can try to compete with the tier one and higher up IITs and all and we can have the gap filling between the tier two and tier one institutions. We can learn behind the curriculum. It facilitates even the teachers also to learn the newer programs. Okay. How do you plan to use the certification? Right now I have done a course now on OBE. Our institution has gone for NVA accreditation and it is accredited at a tier two level. We want to accommodate all the assessment techniques what were explained in the course and accommodate our students to learn in a better way. Okay. Do you have any suggestions to improve the portal? Suggestions as much as we can have the discussion forums and the blocks running out and timely blocks. We are not getting any proper responses for the discussion forums. So it will be helpful if the block conversation increases more. Okay. How do you propose to use the course for any job or any new projects? The new project that is now will be again submitting for accreditation after one and a half years. So we would like to accommodate all the things here whatever learned regarding the outcome-based assessment techniques and use that in our daily regular curriculum. Okay. Any other feedbacks that you want to give? Okay. Myself Ragu Kumar K.S. working as an assistant professor in the department of computer science, R. Y. M. C. Bhandari. So I'm very happy to write an examination for this. But initially, I thought that this is an examination is on three hours examination, but here it came to here only a 50 marks question and as well as one of our time durations. And one more thing is that I want to inform to the people saying that that is a assignment four. They have not received any questions from the examinations. That is the one thing I can give to this committee. So I record you to cover all the assignment questions and topics in the examinations. And for next time, you make it as 100 marks, it's better. How NPTEL program is different from the normal courses in all the charging universities? So it is NPTEL is a good course you are offering that is we're happy to say that this is NPTEL is a good course to follow the faculty as well as the students also. So for the student certification as well as the staff certification is good and we are going for the process. How do you want to use the certificate? No, it's just in just like in a program outcomes we can call it as a lifelong learning. If you're other than the teaching learning process, that means you can implement the teaching learning process and also can learn content beyond the syllabus also and they can beyond the curriculum also for a faculty as well as with the students. We can improve the skills knowledge that is the better that is an important thing is that we can enhance our upgrade or our skills also. Any other feedbacks that you want to give? No sir, already it's good. Thank you. Was this test center easy to locate? Yeah, that's an opportunity. You make more centers here too because we are from North India and North Karnataka. So you made the more centers for the North Karnataka's. So instead of coming directly to Bangalore, you make a more college in centers you can make it in North Karnataka. That's the one suggestion I can give. Yes, I'm in Akshijana and I'm taking my course on NPTEL for introducing on machine learning and it's for like eight year eight week course like one and a half or nearby two months and it's really helpful for us like who are freshers who are beginners to start to learn like machine learning like their subjects. So it is helpful. Okay. Did you take the test online or offline? Online test. Okay. Did you find it easy to answer the questions online? Yeah, if you like a few questions are a bit tough but if you go through the whole lectures it is possible to answer. Okay. How different NPTEL course is from your normal courses in the college or university? Yeah, because NPTEL courses are guidance by some RIT and lectures, RIT and professors, even some ISM professors also. So it's really helpful for beginners and freshers. Okay. How do you want to use the certification? Like for a campusing purpose if you have like a number of certifications on some few courses like if you go for a network security or if you go for like machine learning or data science related courses then it will be really helpful for us. Okay. Any other feedback? No, overall idea is good. It's sadhana hair. So as we were informed to take this test called NPTEL I took a course that was introduction to the modern applications. It's basically about the internet thing and the database whatever like it was related to the internet thing and I had I just finished the exam and it was not that easy but yeah it was nice. Okay. Did you take online exam? Yeah it was an online exam. Okay. How different is NPTEL compared to your normal courses in the university or the college? See it is actually it is very easy because the registration is online like you need not to run here and there for the registration thing and all everything was done online even the payment payment thing also was done online and how it helped with my academics or my knowledge because there were so many videos assignments that we could do it and see online. So it really helped because we could see everything in the in the video and learn a lot of things. Okay. So what are you going to do once you are certified to NPTEL? I think I'll try to get some more knowledge about it and if possible I'll try to take up next some few more courses from the same. So how are you going to use this course? I think I'll use it to my resume that I have done this course and it might help me for showing that I did some extra thing out of my college courses. Okay. Any other reviews that you want to talk about? I think all the other people there should go through this link and see the courses because there are plenty numbers of courses which in which you might be interested to take part in. Okay. Hello I am Apurva Joshi. I am from Gulbarga. The experience of undergoing online examination was very good. I find it more comfortable than offline exams. We get a lot of information like which questions we have attended, we need to review and we have not attended and all. So it is more comfortable to undergo online exam and the arrangements made around was very good. Locating the center was easy and locating the seat and everything was easy. Thank you. Okay. So after the certification what are your plans? Yeah this course was actually very helpful for me. It will be helpful for my further projects. So that is what I look forward to implement that things learned during the course in my projects. Okay. How different was taking NPTEL program online than your regular courses in the university or the college? Yeah this was like very flexible thing. Whenever we wish to watch the course we could do that. It was like not restricted like college and all we have to go on specific time on particular time. Okay it was good. Rather even I feel more comfortable with offline I mean university courses than online actually. This is my personal opinion. Okay. Approximately how much time did you spend every day to watch videos? I did not spend actually every day like whenever I used to have free time I used to do that. Apart from my regular routine. Okay. Any other reviews that you want to give it to NPTEL? It was a very good thing that that's all I can say. Okay. Anything that you want to suggest to the portal? It is overall a very excellent platform. I don't have any other suggestions. Okay. Thank you. Hi my name is Aditya. My name is Akash. We have taken up operating system here from the NPTEL course. Same here same operating system. Okay. So how was this NPTEL program different from your normal courses in the universities? I found it like more informative. Informative and there was a lot of support. There was more exposure. Like there was PDF provided themselves. Okay. There was more exposure to the subject like the videos were very informative. Moreover it was free of cost. So anybody who wanted to use it can use it. So it was a really nice initiative. Bye. Okay. So any suggestions that you want to give it to the portal? Try improving your video quality a little bit. Try more interactive video sessions rather than just nodding heads. Okay. Okay. So after your certification what are your plans? Not really sure sir. Not exactly. Okay. How are you going to utilize this course as? Well I want to get into coding so I hope this will get me somewhere. Same here. Nice. Any other reviews that you want to give? Nothing else. Thank you so much NPTEL for the wonderful opportunity you have provided as well. My name is Ashwat Vair. I am from Adi Chunchangiri Institute of Technology, Chikmangalur. And I have taken design of Internet of Things, IOTS. And I have experience, good experience I have. And exam also, okay. Okay. Did you write offline exam or online exam? Online exam. Okay. How different was NPTEL course? It's different from offline exams and it's a little bit interesting. Okay. Enjoyed it. Okay. How is the course, I mean NPTEL course from the normal courses which you get in universities or college? It's special and we can, lessons are from IIT levels so we can understand very standard of understanding is very good. Okay. Then we can understood very, very wonderful. So experience was good. Okay. After your certification what are your plans? If they give chance to another course I will join. I hope they will give another one. Okay. Another courses repeatedly they will join. Fine. So any reviews that you want to give to NPTEL? No, Allah perfect I think. So any praisings that you want to give for NPTEL? No, Allah I think everything is should be okay. Hi guys, this is Vivek and right now I have came for, I made exam and I took the course this before three months and it was quite a good experience. I would like to all of you to take this course because it helps you to enhance your knowledge in modern application development. So basically my experience was awesome. I knew the some language, I knew some language but this was like a cherry on the cake like thing. Okay. So please do attend this course and be attentive and don't miss any lecture give the give the exams give the tests and be proper with yourself. I attended, I made course. Okay. So how different was NPTEL lectures from normal university or college lectures? Yeah, NPTEL lectures was quite structured. I like to hats off to those guys, those who have made, those who have given the time and also Hasura they've also contributed a lot of things. So it was quite structured like a first recap will be there then content will be there and then revise will be there. So it was quite good. What are the questions outside the syllabus? Yeah, some of course some questions will be there like I would suggest that 90% of the courses were inside the syllabus. So those are from videos and the from the content provided by the IMAID and Hasura and only five to six questions mainly you'll come across those questions when you will be going or browsing in the internet. So don't worry about it. So were there questions from assignments? Yeah, of course about 8 to 10 questions were from assignments also. Okay. What are your plans after the certifications? Yeah, after the certifications currently I'm working as a developer. So I'd like to inform my HR about this and of course they will praise me and I'll have great opportunities for that. Any suggestions for NPTEL courses? Any suggestions? The session will be one and the one and only one to the course and be with it. Don't miss it. Thank you. Okay. My name is Rahul. I took the course introduction to machine learning. Okay. How different NPTEL courses was from the normal course which you do in college or universities? These courses are you can self-paced them but they're not that rigorous in terms of content. They're different from other MOOCs because they're more rigorous from other MOOCs but in terms of content wise I think it's good for people who are working or don't have time to like do it through formal. Okay. So were there questions outside the course? No, no, no, no. Everything was within. Everything was within. Either it was covering the assessments or the course material. Okay. What are your plans after the certifications? No specific plans regarding this. I just wanted to learn and get certified so I can account for the time. But yeah, I hope to continue reading more in these topics. Okay. Any reviews about NPTEL portal? Yeah, it was surprisingly convenient. So I mean, I do have no complaints. Okay. Approximately how much time did you spend every day to watch videos? Weekly I can approximate saying that approximately four or five hours a week. Mostly on the weekends because weekdays I was busy. So any suggestions that you want to give? To the course. I would say that so sometimes I think they try to cover too much into little time. So I would say that pace it over a longer period because I think it becomes too complex. Sometimes jump is too sudden difficulty or content wise. So I just say that's the only thing I would say improve upon. Otherwise it was nice. Did you take the online exam or not? What's the offline exam? Hello everyone. I'm Aparna Nagbushan. I'm from Bangalore MS Ramayana Institute of Technology second year Computer Science Engineering. I've taken programming in C++ in NPTEL. It was very good and the exam was also quite normal as expected and the assignments which I have written was helpful. That's it. Thank you. Okay. So how different was NPTEL program from your normal courses in universities? In normal courses we'll just study whatever is there in the textbook or whatever reference books are given but here we'll study advanced techniques also. Okay. So did you take the online exam or the offline? Online exam. Okay. Can you suggest any inputs to the NPTEL portal? No it's appropriate as of now. Okay. What are your plans after this certification? After certification I'm going to continue this NPTEL of taking further courses. Okay. Were there questions outside the syllabus? No. It was not outside the syllabus. Everything was covered. Okay. Hi. I'm Dr. Krithika. I'm working as assistant professor in Subdegree Institute of Medical Sciences. I took online exam for NPTEL for the course of Health Research Fundamentals. Okay. How different was it from normal courses that you get in universities or college? It was actually an online course so it was related to my subject and a good experience as to know better about those contents related to research and also there was a good coordination with respect to any questions or any queries asked. It was really answered well in the forum. Okay. How was the quality of videos in the NPTEL? Yeah. Pretty good. Okay. I had no issues with downloading the videos or any lectures which were provided. Okay. So approximately how much time did you spend watching videos? Watching videos every week around two hours or three hours. Okay. So what are your plans after this certification? I actually did this course because I have done my MD in community medicine so it will help me more with respect to doing research activities and it has improved my knowledge per se with respect to research and conducting any activities in my future or guiding any of my juniors or any students who are interested in research. Okay. So how are you going to utilize this course in future? Of course in my day to day practice I am working as a staff as I already said as an assistant professor. So obviously in guiding the students in the routine curriculum based where they have research methodology per se as a part of their curriculum medical students. Okay. Any inputs that you want to give NPTEL? It was a very nice experience for me per se. I would like to take up more courses in this. This time I took only one exam. There are several others which are of benefit and useful. I would take up more exams. Karthik, I had taken the NPTEL course on programming in C++. The course mentor was Partha Pratim Das and it lasted for eight weeks and we had submit assignments, quizzes and finally the day of exam was today. Okay. How different was it from normal class courses that you get in universities? Basically in class courses the thing is that they have the fixed course but in this course it is like unlimited. We have advanced C++ so it was like we can expand our knowledge so it was a good experience. Okay. What are you going to do after this certification? I am planning to take up more but like explore more courses in NPTEL because the number of courses they have is huge and they are interesting and I would like to take it more in future. Okay. How are you going to utilize this course as? I can use the knowledge for like software programming and other things or like in interview I can use the certificate and other reason is like it's knowledge. Okay. Any inputs that you want to give for the NPTEL portal? They can make it more accessible to more number of people in India because because now if they digitalize like education it's better like instead of all people cannot afford attending colleges so if they digitalize more and make it make it accessible to more people so it will be better. Okay. Myself Akshay, I had taken an NPTEL course of project management and planning of civil engineering department and about the experience about the course. I think the course was a little bit tough but it's encouraging for us to learn more and more and the exam was quite good now. It's average then you can score around 50% but scoring high marks is very different. That's it. Okay. How different was this NPTEL program from normal lectures you get in universities? The teaching course was very good when compared to that you know what we what we get from our colleges because of the videos and the more basic information they give it was good compared to the colleges. Any inputs that you want to give for NPTEL? I thought some questions were wrong in the what is that exam they gave today. Okay. That's no you should have to see do that no. Okay so were there any questions outside the syllabus? No no no not questions outside the syllabus but there are three to four wrong questions. Okay. So were there questions from the assignments? From five percent that's it just three questions from the assignments. Okay. I'm Sahana working as assistant professor at RV College of Engineering. I'm working in electronics and communication department. I had opted for the course POC2 that is principles of communication too. Okay. So did you take an online exam or offline? I took online exam only. Okay. So how different was NPTEL program from normal courses in universities? Yeah here like you it is like I can just relate this with the flipped classroom like you used to give all the online videos and with respect to that we used to learn things and we used to answer and it was like wonderful experience because first time I took one of the NPTEL course this is the first time I. Okay. So how are you going to use this course as in future? Actually the course whatever I took it is in communication and my research area is also communication so I can apply some of the ideas in the in my research as well and also I can educate my students to take up some of the courses so that they can expand their knowledge in the same stream. Okay. What are your plans after this certification? Yeah after this I think I will be going for more other courses on NPTEL. Okay. Were there questions outside the syllabus? No no it was like exactly from the assignment plus some of the questions which are related with the video only. Okay any inputs that you want to give it to the NPTEL program? As of now I think I don't have any other inputs like it is like best. Okay. Any suggestions that you want to give? Nothing like that. Okay. Hi I'm Sridhar Rao working for a private company basically I'm working for this aircraft engines design so I have taken this introduction to data analytics course NPTEL course online course. Okay. Did you write the exam online or offline? Online. I have taken the test online. Okay so how did you find the NPTEL course different from normal courses in universities or colleges? This provides a actually very good flexibility okay because the videos are provided and we can go through it and our convenience. That is the main advantage I see with these online courses. Okay so now you're working and at this age how different was it to find these courses online and watch videos and learn from Yes because the videos provide enough information and also we can search in the Google for any additional information and they have another main benefit they provided is the forum so where whatever the questions we pose they are very casually answered and we are very satisfied with those answers whatever they have provided and whenever we have more clarification required also we put additional questions and try to get the responses they are very quick in giving the response. Okay nice so how are you going to utilize this certification? The course actually is like an introduction to data analytics it gives overview of various analytics aspects and now this is actually main task lies in implementing all these concepts in the real-time problems so we need to correlate these concepts to the real-time problems and it will be very helpful in the area where I am working so in that way it will this course is useful to me. Okay so any inputs that you want to give to NPTEL program? The one suggestion I see is the course mainly the test was mainly focused on theoretical aspects even though it has so many computational aspects calculations involved but the it is maybe would have been better would they would have tested on the computational aspect also in the test not only on the theoretical aspects. Okay any other reviews that you want to do? No other reviews and this. Okay thank you. Hello this is Ashwin I have taken NPTEL course from Wayne Cambridge College and the course is C++ or Ranathima Doops in C++ and I am from Ramaya College and the experience was too good here the faculty or the helping staff they were too good and yeah. Okay so how different was NPTEL lectures from normal lectures you getting university or college? It's actually better because and first of all you're getting for free that's you know too much than what we expect and if you need a certificate and an exam you need to pay a thousand bucks and if you pass there like get 40% you get back 500 rupees back and getting free knowledge from people like from IIT is you know damn difficult people search for it so providing that to students who need an opportunity to gain through this subjects is very much useful and yeah. Okay so what are you going to how are you going to use this certification? This certificate would be very much useful in the placement time or you know enhance our knowledge regarding these subjects yeah. Okay were there questions outside the syllabus? No nothing where and what I felt was nothing was out of the syllabus so it was easy to solve. So were there questions from the assignments? Yeah a bit of it not completely. Okay any review that you want to give to NPTEL? There would and what I felt is they shouldn't implement in the video lectures what they give because most of people are saying that they go for a text version preview so if they make an improvement in the video like you know what saying what is required and not going out of topic or not delaying so that you know it would be a useful thing and implement something projects that had been done you know for teaching the students almost you know be an improvement on the videos. Okay was this test center difficult to find? As I was new to this place it would be difficult but my friend bought me it so it doesn't make much difficulty. Okay. Hi my name is Saurav I'm from BMS IIT I have taken the course of programming data structure and algorithms of using Python. Okay how different NPTEL lectures compared to your college lectures or university lectures? According to me the NPTEL lectures was a little practical oriented thing after every examples which they show us in PPT they'll do in the software and tell us how the how it works actually practically so I liked about that. Okay after this certification what are your plans? Developing more information about the course like learning more about the Python which I have which I have learned in the NPTEL. Okay and how are you going to utilize this course as in future? This is mostly used for my placements because most of the companies in our college is IT companies so they are asking more of Python and other languages. Okay do you want to suggest any changes to the NPTEL existing portal? No nothing it's good actually. So do you want to give any reviews about NPTEL? Yeah NPTEL it's good I suggest more people to take this. Myself Himant Gopal Krishna and I am working as a civil engineer I work in metro projects and here I have taken the project planning and control subject and today I attended the exam the exam was quite good. Okay how was how NPTEL course was different from normal course? Because it is conducted by a reputed institution this is the reason different from others it is conducted by IITs. Okay so how are you going to utilize this course as in future? It will be an add-on for my resume and for my work also I will be having enough knowledge of the planning and controls and I'm a good experience regarding this. Okay so what are your plans after this online certification? Currently I'm working in the execution department so I want to change to planning department so I'm trying to collect as much of knowledge from these courses and any other certifications. Okay were there questions outside the syllabus? No okay most of the questions are covered in the syllabus. Okay were there questions from the assignments? Yeah some of the questions were from the assignments. Okay so any reviews that you want to give to NPTEL? Nothing nothing particularly nothing. Okay any suggestions for the NPTEL courses? Suggestions they have to contact the exams some frequent days not in one particular day not in one day at least they have to give a upload means one or two days or three days. Okay. Thank you. Thank you.
