 I'm Dr. Vijay Lakshmi, working as a professor at Satepu Mai University. When I joined this course, the Integrated Waste Management for Smart City, it was quite interesting. It was taken by IIT Karakpur and the professor who posted all the notes was very clear and it was very useful. In fact, it is the first time I'm appearing for this exam. I felt how this exam is going to be for three years with all the calculations. And at the end of the exam, I felt it is possible to complete all the problematic questions in time. In fact, it's before the time. I enrolled for the Digital Speech Processing course and I have actually attended courses from Coursera as well. And the main difference I see is that this more theoretical gives you more grip on the fundamental steps. And yeah, that's what basically. So it was more academic oriented and gave me more insights into the subject. And I'm so happy that I have actually completed the course and gave the test today. So, hoping for the best. It's quite useful actually, though in the current course which I have enrolled, there was not much discussions happening. But I have seen, you know, more interactions happening in other forums. I am Dr. S.D. Deepak and I have enrolled in Cloud Computing course in NPTL. The course was very useful and very interactive and the course instructor is also very... He explains things very perfectly but as far as exams is concerned, like section C exam, I mean all the question answers were very problematic, which we didn't expect. I came to know about NPTL through my friends and this course I took was aircraft design. So it was a nice course. They taught us many new things in that it was worth doing the course. Yes, discussion forum was nice but then instructor was very nice. Discussion forum I think answers could be given a bit more fast because they were a bit slow in giving the answers. They didn't ask them but they were still not giving them on time so that is one thing. You know, this is my first experience, totally new experience and okay, learning in everything is nice but question preparation I think they can give up beforehand a bit knowledge that is to how they can perform. Like how do we prepare for exam and everything. Like in schools and colleges they tell us okay that paper pattern will be like this so you can take care of this much. We had no information other than that all questions will be MCQs. And what will their pattern be, how the marks distribution will be, what we should really take care of. I think it will be better if they start telling us more about that. Thank you. I am Sridharan. I work for TCS. I applied for artificial intelligence search methods for problem solving. That's the course that I attended. Yeah this course is a bit difficult but it was a very interesting course and the professor was very knowledgeable and his lecture delivery was really good. I really enjoyed taking this course. In particular I worked for the past few years and in fact I attended some of the, I didn't take the exam but I have gone through some of the video lectures available in YouTube but this is the first time I am taking this course. Yeah this is really good because I had to really concentrate and put a set aside some time daily for couple of hours to go through the study material, both the video lectures and the book. And I think with some effort and some discipline all these courses can be easily attended and easily managed. Some courses on data analytics, some courses on deep learning, these are the associated courses which I would say related to artificial intelligence, those can be added. I am a student professor of Tripoli working in a university and I really enjoy this digital exam. I make me to appear more and more time so that the way the questions are created, the way the lectures are presented in the digital form, everything is interesting to appear more and more. The vast majority of the power system analysis, everything is okay, but the answer is the assignment. Assignment solutions, sometimes the hand written form we feel not to listen, interesting hand written. On some questions they are very short. Yeah this is one among going to be value added for the appraisals of the professions. And it's more interesting, we are getting more knowledge so that it can be transformed to the students community. You can update the knowledge. I am P. Kanaraj from SRM University, Katangalut. So it is very useful for updating our knowledge. So already we know the basics in the syllabus. So now the further more ideas. So we can get some more ideas in this. So very nice. Already we attended the basic electrical so now the second course. It is very useful for us. Very nice too. Thank you. Yeah I am Rohit from VIT and I am studying third year BTEC and it has been quite helpful exam because some courses aren't taught so advanced in our classes. So we get to learn here for this exam and the professors are quite experts whom we saw in the video tutorials. So thank you for this course. A certification, I heard it from my seniors that it would be useful in interviews and all. But subject wise I feel it's more important what we learn. So I think that's the more part we had to focus on. My name is Pandan. I was giving the course AI Search Methods for Problem Solving by Deepak Khurmani of IIT Madras. Regarding the test center it's slightly remote but otherwise it's very well maintained. And except that the questions of the exam they could use a lot of improvement because a certain section had glaring inconsistencies with the questions. But otherwise both the format and the software it was very good and in fact much better than many of the engineering entrance exams and so on. This is my second time of using NPTEL. This is the second course I've applied for. The only other comparison for online exams I have is once I gave for the engineering entrance exams and one or two other online courses. But actually NPTEL is much better than certain other ones I've seen. Especially the software that we use this time. It's comprehensive. My name is Rajalakshmi. I attended the E-Business exam. It was exciting. It was the first time I attended an online exam like this. And very useful. When we went to the profession it was very useful. But when everyone asked about it it was very useful. They told me about my job. Because I attended E-Business. Actually I'm from Kashmir. I'm studying here in Bharat University. They are in the college website. We have some like this. I heard from there. And then I started to study. First one year I was just studying only. I heard about they are taking exam before this. I have one exam also. Introduction to Airplane performance. And then this time today I wrote two exams. Gas Dynamics and Stability and Control. It was really nice. And it really helped for us. Especially who wants to learn something. For them it's very nice. I'm really impressed with this. Thank you. Thank you NPTEL. My name is Meena Suda. I'm an Assistant Professor in Rajalakshmi Engineering College. I take the course Introduction to Wireless and Communication. This is my first NPTEL exam. And I feel better. Somehow I made some mistake in my exam. Even though in the next upcoming NPTEL courses I may perform well. So I got the confidence. The discussion forum is very nice. They replayed then and there. Within half an hour they give some valid answers. For example I cannot open the solution sheet. So I put the thing in the discussion forum. Within half an hour they provide the link. I'm Franklin. I'm an IIT consultant. And I enrolled. Actually this is my second exam. I already completed an exam. And I passed with gold medal and with elite category. Though I didn't prepare but the exam was really good. IIT has done a decent job. I really appreciate all the efforts taken by IIT and MHRD. And the entire team of IIT. And this course for sure is available. A course for everyone who has to excel in technology field and in any field. I really didn't expect this much of spread of courses. But when I saw the enrollment so many courses were available. I only regret I don't have much time to enroll for few more courses. But I certainly look forward to enroll for more courses in the days to come. Probably they will open by March, April I think. So this time I wrote two exams. Maybe another two exams in the next semester. The first exam the center was too far though it is mentioned in Chennai. But it was very far. But this is relatively good. And in terms of improvement I would like to say because I saw so many. I was actively involved in the forum. One thing all the candidates expressed was the mock test or the pattern of questions. So in that area for example you know if you have a mock test online. People have an idea of how the exam will be going to be. That is the only thing I would say. So that will really help the candidates. This is definitely awesome. I have done other exams also. But this is the best so far I would say. So the quality of exams and the way it is conducted. And there is no absolutely go for anything. It is very highly systematic. And IIT that is the same I have mentioned in my feedback as well. So IIT has maintained its standard. And I appreciate. I kudos to all the team. Thank you. I knew from the long time because I am teaching for the past 25 years. I am a professor at Hindustan University in the department of civil engineering. And I have registered for the structural analysis one course. It was a very excellent course. Very beautiful. And our test was also very informative. It was useful for my future career. Thank you. I am Arjit from SSN College of Engineering. I came here to do the cloud computing examination. I am having that subject in this semester as well. So I thought it will help. I mean like with the semesters near it was really helpful for me to review the concepts and take up this examination. The examination pattern also was very easy kind of thing. For multiple choice we understood more. So the credits were given for us in the practicals section. Not in the theoretical. So with cloud computing it is very upcoming technology. A lot of companies are demanding cloud support engineers as well because they need to set up some private cloud or something. So I think I will have an edge if I have this certification. Some of the things that can be done is probably increasing the level of certification probably because you get one certificate for the entire thing. Probably you can have some base level and advanced and things like that. The certificate itself can be divided into several things. People who want to take it up can always do it. Exactly professionals who come take doing the same course probably they might need in-depth courses later on. That's the feedback. Thank you. I am Dr. Hemma working as associate professor in the department of ECE at ABAT. I have registered for the course introduction to Internet of Things and I have attended 12 lectures for 12 weeks and I have attended almost 9 to 10 assignments and the experience was very nice. So it's the first course I am attending and I am very much impressed about the course and the exam pattern is very nice and I motivated my students to undergo such kind of courses to get exposure about the present technology and update their knowledge. That is the main thing. Everything is online and whatever the query we are giving it is immediately responded and the interactive forum and the responses whatever the queries we are posting we are getting the immediate response. It's very nice. One thing every time you have to log into our mail ID and download the lectures that is the video lecture if you are having video lectures means it is very tedious for us to spend more time. If the lecture material is available then it will be easier for the people to whenever we are free we can In some courses they are giving text material for our course they have provided for some other courses only video lectures are available for example design for IOT I have registered but spending more time in the video lecture would be very difficult. So I have dropped the course after attending two or three weeks I have dropped the course and I have gone through this one. Since we are having a very busy schedule if you are having the lecture material means then we can go through it whenever we are free. So that is the thing. IOT is there. As far as EC is concerned big data analytics and then some kind of communication related advanced communication courses we need advanced communication engineering in that area we need some courses to be incorporated. Thank you. I am Balasubramaniam I have applied for the online course on patent law for engineers and scientists it is basically to enrich my knowledge on patents and try to attempt a patent as an examination and this syllabus is in line with that particular thing it has been an excellent learning experience for me because digital India and digital thing everything we were learning online it was good although the course material is covering exhaustively for the examination we should have some time of preparation because a short period of within one week you will have to prepare for the whole examination it is a little bit tough but nevertheless I have done the exam well it is a very good experience for everybody to learn and enrich their knowledge. I find everything infrastructure wise everything conduct of examination everything is fine it has met more than our expectations there is no doubt on that but as far as the course is concerned we want some proposes interactions like when the courses are going on some of the questions which are put in the forums are not being addressed properly if some of the questions are which are out of the syllabus maybe for enriching the knowledge of the people who are asking for it the professors can have an interactive session and enhance the knowledge of the people this is what I would like to suggest and moreover in the last 3 or 4 weeks I mean it is a 12 week program in the last 3 or 4 weeks the response from the forum and the announcements are little bit slow that needs some improvement that's it thank you my name is Madhu I have applied, registered for this integrated waste management course it's very useful in terms of the knowledge which I get from the waste management I hope I apply that in some of the places I am from oil and gas industry so just out of interest I have registered into this course and it was very good I enjoyed the course one of my friends told me that there are some online courses being provided by IITs so I just went and registered it very good the response was very good and it was very timely and useful for us as well looking forward for more courses like this that's it and encourage IITs to produce more courses like this online courses even if they are small small courses just useful for us that's it it cannot be more engineering type like more calculated because everybody won't be understanding those things so more general like this one solid waste management is more of a general topic which everybody understands need not go into more technical or mathematical kind of things so those kind of courses which are general I think they should try to develop more I am a student professor in engineering college course was nice because it was somewhat tough then conduct of the graduation was so nice assignment questions were so tough but when compared to the assignment this examination is somewhat easy but in some questions paper that is some ambiguity is there I don't know whether the answers whether all the answers are correct or not some answers were tends to ambiguous network sense system but the course was much useful yeah that was very nice the videos were very nice but when compared to the videos the question paper was tough the videos is very elemental level that is very basic but the question paper is very tough that is more competence level is very high that ambiguity can be avoided because sometimes we lose our confidence while answering the questions we don't know the correct answer and so many times the assignments has been re-elevated again the marks has been changed so we have got some confusion yeah very much useful because again we are refreshing the course because we forgot some basics again we are intending to refresh those basic things I work for an IT company and I am doing a project management course over here it was very good and the arrangements was fantastic the interview process was good and it was more clear and the instructions was very crisp I am Navin Kumar pursuing second year mechanical engineering in Sairam Engineering College I wrote an NPTEL exam in manufacturing technology it was very good experience I met with NPTEL team Myself Divyarathi I am working in RMK engineering college as assistant professor in mathematics they have conducted well the exam actually we have prepared well as well as their question paper everything is very easy we have done well and their arrangements is very nice actually the duration course we have very much enjoyable course actually really it is very nice whenever we decided to discuss something immediately we have so many questions already discussed there so no need to say anything we have got all the things yes it is very nice very nice what we have it was up to the level what we have prepared Myself Heymamati I am assistant professor from RMK engineering college other course on design of reinforced concrete structures other course was really good very useful I am Dr Amal Rabin I am working in Hindustan University I came to know from my college actually this particular NPTEL courses there if you go into it it will be useful for you as well as for your career development with respect to today's exam so it was like from the course material probably like the videos which I saw and as well as the assignments and other things so and it was a good experience I am a 2016 B passed out I completed my B from Shri Sairam engineering college civil engineering I took up an online course from NPTEL on the principles of the construction management overall the questions were nice and it was really helpful as I am looking forward to pursue MS in construction management so it just gave me the glance of how was the field will be overall the experience was nice and also the way in which the exam was the questions were framed were also nice few questions were difficult otherwise it was overall it was nice from my experience what I would tell is I have attended few gate exams also and from that compared to that it was very easy okay in gate we were not able to attend most of the questions because they were difficult and it would take a lot of time to think and all but in this few were very direct even the three marks questions in this were very direct and were easy to answer I am from Chennai Pallawaram I joined college at Rajalaxam engineering college in my college they informed about NPTEL online course it will be very useful for our studies also so I joined the course in the NPTEL online online website it was very good experience so today I wrote my exam very well thank you sustainability through green manufacturing the instructor was very knowledgeable the information he he wanted to say it was very clear and it was helpful digital speech signal processing course offered by IIT Karakpur professor Mandil it was really very useful it was mind opening he went into all the basics and really it was helpful for me to get into the deeper roots of my research work it was more than my expectation and I could learn many more things and the exam pattern was also nice it was beautifully set and it is really helpful to me as a professor of engineering college as an assistant professor in the department and this is the first time I met him in this examination and if I had done much more revision I think it would be easy if we had gone through all those assignments everything is based on that English language, history of English language and literature very nice 18 years back I studied literature now if I had got this much of knowledge that time I could have scored much more than I had expected so I came to know about NPTEL exam online courses and I have applied for that and I have appeared for the exam on elemental geotechnology so it is a nice experience for me today I have written two courses, two exams morning I have written introduction to internet of things and in the afternoon I have written hardware modeling using very long so the thing is that I have chosen the same day it was a bit difficult this is the first time I was writing this exam so next time I should plan accordingly but was your learning experiences one subject I could learn very well but the other one I took some time so I didn't do well everything goes it went very well so through the basics we could learn actually I was like embedded system this very long wheeler side design it was very nice experience to learn a new concept actually I am the research scholar from the B.S. Abdulmanu University actually I want to complete my coursework for PhD so my guide said to look for the online exam courses like cloud computing so that's how I enrolled in this course and my Alhamdulillah they delivered very nice lectures and assignments of the things I scored good score in the assignments near about 23 marks average marks and overall I got many things from this course actually means they taught research oriented generally in the classroom they taught only subject wise but on NPTEL they teach all the material all the subjects research oriented so means anyone who are looking for research also from this course I am Dr. Sivakumar Rajesh Meening college I don't know I wrote the two courses last year now I have written the internet of things yes that is question modifications assignment and everything already has improved but I have some suggestion may I tell because so this type of course is highly validated for rural area student they are going to study that in recent things as like that internet of things and other things they want to study in private center they much more money they are going to spend so in my opinion I have suggested one opinion this course is conducted by Indian HR and NPTEL IITS so why the group is not giving one diploma course as like the person who have going to write that 12 courses you may going to give the 12 courses for 2 years or 3 semester along with you may split that 3 courses or wind up for example this course from the core engineering this course from that mechanical engineering or circuit branch engineering or that is computer science engineering again you may give the diploma course the students may going to study it from the first year onwards on that time of final year he may get some certificate so this certificate will be added on his career so definitely this is very important point why I am telling nowadays that is the heavy competition is there the students from the rural places apart from that Chennai it is highly difficult to learn so why and not only this each every courses having the videos so each and every time you may give some assignments only the new things already that is the material is available so you may going to conduct this type of courses it is highly useful for the students so I don't know whether this may be passes on higher level or not but this information that is the you may combine the courses and then form the some diploma certificate based courses that is another one point and another one point is that is there is no official app for this course I think till now there is no official if you are going to reach if you are going to launch that official there is most of the students having mobiles that is the android based mobiles so whenever the internet is available we are going to download and official login and then going to study so this is another point this is in my point of view so two things the second thing is depends upon that the first thing it may be reaches up to HR level because HR means Indian HR level and NPDL team definitely you may going to suggest and then we are expecting the suitable feedback from that NPDL another one point is as like in IIT website we need some virtual lab so as like in power system operation controller, electrical machinery laboratory or some other simulation based we are working in online we are going to access the online library or online software in IIT software and other thing virtual lab so that lab is highly useful for the students so you may going to consider for this point also fine thank you actually I am a staff in Sathibama University we as a whole department we are doing this NPTEL course it's very interesting because online course all one mark we are together solving very interesting and I hope I have written the exam first exam afternoon also I have one more exam I am Saraj from Agni College of Technology this is the second time I am writing the exam and I am a final year student I wanted it to write because to know deep knowledge in my subject I can see a lot of age group of people right from college students to professors are writing here I can find the common thirst in knowledge in everyone so it's a great opportunity for us to learn from professors of IIT at OM itself and everyone must make use of this opportunity thank you my name is Kaivalya Soma I am studying in Katankulathur I am studying M.Tech Environmental Engineering today I have given exam for G.O. Environmental Engineering and integrated waste management for smart cities they are really quite good integrated was good but G.O. Environmental was average because paper was little tough even assignment integrated is quite easier than G.O. Environmental Engineering both are very good professors they taught us very well I am Dr. N. Srinivasan professor of computer science of Satipa University my experience of this NPTEL exam is AVSAM and I wrote Internet of Things and it was really nice and it's good and I wish all the success for NPTEL thank you I came to know about this exam from NPTEL website and my daughter has given the exam now and this is for the cloud computing exam organized by the NPTEL IIT Karakpur and I feel that this course is very useful for all the students because this goes along with their curriculum to give help them to find a suitable job when they graduate thank you very much my name is Mohithin Yazar and I am studying SRM Katangulathur BTEC CSE and the course I applied for was cloud computing the exam was somewhat direct question from section A and all we had questions directly from the assignment that we had already given and the other two sections and section C was comparatively difficult too because we had basic numerical and other stuffs and section B was consisting of multiple answerable questions and it was fairly challenging question paper my name is Samarnath and I am from Chennai itself I opted for internet of things introduction of internet of things I really liked the course and the way the instructor has taught me and the videos were very helpful it reflected the exam as well so the questions were equally good and it was easily able to attempt it yes actually my name is Ravya I am a college student it was required by my college to do an online course so from there I found out actually it was a good one the exam was not, it was good there are some easy questions but they are not tough also they are on a mediocre level actually the entire process was good and even there was an announcement column so they inform each and every single thing also so it's like I didn't miss anything out so it was good I am Zeral Paroid I am basically from Jaipur I am studying in SRM University in the first year I was told to sign up for a course so I chose cloud computing as I am doing computer science engineering I appeared for cloud computing I signed up for the course in July I thought the course was very good and I gave the exam and the exam went fine I have come across other courses but I chose an option that was India based and I wanted to support Indian courses so I chose Neptune I think the online infrastructure is very good and the exam quality was very good and I think that improvement could be made in providing additional books and resources through PDFs online that's all, extra resources online I am regularly taking a few courses in NPDN so I am Seluk Kumar working in Infosys as a technology architect and currently today I returned to two courses morning I returned the data section and today now I returned the human resource development which is useful for my career the data section algorithm is a very difficult subject from the college I know it is very difficult to understand so now the NPTEL course totally course is very useful to understand and I am able to apply the knowledge in my job which is you cannot get this type of material or the training or the detail anywhere so it's very useful and this course will be useful for any product company like Google, Amazon if you go there they will ask only this type of questions so it will be used for my next level job also I am Atul and I took up soft skills course and it was pretty good honestly I didn't prepare that much but for the last two three weeks I had gone through the videos so I had found the content really useful and the exam was similarly pretty good actually I attended this course exam for energy conservation and waste sheet recovery and right now in the evening I just gave this paper on introduction to mechanobiology so it was like very cooperative all the people were there all the people were very cooperative the things were sorted up and the exam software was very very good it was easy for us to use as well as the computer it's like the quality keyboard and everything so it was very good to use and it was fun I am coming from Vellore University and for me it was very difficult actually to come over here at Chennai because there is a center over here at Vellore so my hometown I belong to Dheradun so yeah I am Anand Raj working as assistant professor in Radhilesh M. J. college so I have chosen NPTEL for knowing the area where I could be able to explore more so as a teacher I just want to upgrade myself so I thought of choosing this course previously I attended two courses and I also I feel that it will be more useful for faculty also it will be very good if it has been made it as a course for all the students I have appeared for laser, fundamentals of laser yeah definitely more if it is going to be concentrated on fundamentals it will be more useful for engineers so because it's little bit more experimental experimental part of things if it is good able to demonstrate because IIT all the IIT's have good experimental setups if they could able to introduce the experimental part while teaching it will be more useful because all the things have been taught as an board teaching with concepts of physics or concept of mechanics whatever it may be if they could able to demonstrate it in real time it will be nice even computation programs also they just run directly under the system so if they could able to go step by step and if they could execute it in a proper way it will be more useful for them
