 focus on that topic. We can explain all the points and you can also clarify all your doubts. So this is the second session of this series. Last Monday we had a session on soft skills training. We had a very nice response on that and I am hearing from my team that a lot of Sparks have started contacting about soft skills training. So today we are going to explain what credit transfer means. We have been receiving mails from Spocs across colleges in India asking us what this means and how it can be implemented by universities, how the colleges will benefit from that, what type of course to choose and so on. So without delaying this any further let me share my screen and we have put together a PPT. We will go through the PPT so most of your questions will be answered once you watch the PPT. Beyond that if you have any questions we will take questions after the session. So let me share my screen now. I am trying to share my screen. I hope you can see my screen and let me go to the first slide. Sorry I was working on it so I am in the last slide. So this is an exclusive session for NPTEL local chapters. So let me go to the next slide. So please understand this is very important. These are suggestions put forth by NPTEL. Okay the NPTEL courses that are taken for credit transfer, the credit numbers, the credit points that we are suggesting are just suggestions put forth by NPTEL. It is up to the college and the university to implement these in your curriculum as you like it. So you do not have to tell the student that NPTEL is suggesting one credit so that is what we are going to give. This is our suggestion. Okay I hope you understand that it is our suggestion. Okay recently in March 2022 UGC has come up with this notification that up to 40% of the total courses offered in any particular program in a semester can be through online credit courses that is through the Swayam platform. So you can show this notification to your college authorities and recommend to them that courses can be taken through NPTEL up to 40% in a semester. So as per UGC norms 14 hours of learning is equivalent to one credit. So how do we figure that? How does it apply to NPTEL? Let's take a four week course. As you know in NPTEL we have four weeks, eight weeks and twelve week courses. So the video content approximately the video content comes to about 10 hours and there will be four assignments and we are assuming that this will take about one hour each from the student side. So student has to watch 10 hours plus one hour of assignments that comes to 14 hours. So we have recommended that a 14 hours of commitment from the student should be given one credit. So this is how we have come up with the credit system of or recommendation of one credit for four week course, two credits for eight week courses and three credits for 12 week courses. But keep in mind again that this is just recommendation from NPTEL. If the college or the university wants to add any more points that is entirely up to the university. So for example there are certain students who are very very vibrantly active in discussion forums. They come and ask questions, they come and solve others queries and so on. Or if the college is insisting that the student go through some other learning material also. Or the college thinks that the student is taking more time not just the 10 hours to watch the videos and learn from them or it's taking more time for them to submit assignments and so on. Then the college or the university can decide to give the one extra credit. So for a four week course if you think it is right you can give two credits instead of one credit that is recommended by us and so on. So it is entirely up to the college or the university to give that extra credit it is up to you. So how does the credit transfer process happen from NPTEL? So a university or a college what can you do? You can pass regulations regarding credit transfer. So this can be for core courses, elective courses or can be pass fail course. Every semester universities such as JNTUH they bring out a list of courses. They publish a list of courses for which year which degree they have to take and they will also publish a general credit transfer policy. So these things that the universities can do ahead of time. And especially as I told you previously autonomous colleges deemed universities you can make your own policy to implement credit transfer. Affiliated colleges, colleges affiliated to certain university you have to go by what the university is telling you. Also please understand that in NPTEL there is no mechanism for supplementary exam. So when the university is passing regulations you have to keep this in mind and come up with some alternate mechanism for the students who do not pass these NPTEL exams. So we are suggesting you please keep it flexible so that it is not for all students or at least you add a mechanism for students who do not pass the exam. You conduct an internal exam or some such so that the students will get one more opportunity to pass the exam. And preferably we always say keep it for students in years 2 and 3. Do not have credit transfer courses for year 1 students and final year students. First year students they are fresh they are just come out from the you know plus 2 or 12 standard classes they are just getting used to the college, the learning process, the environment and so on. So it is not required to make it compulsory for first year students. But if on their own they want to do it that is fine. Again we suggest that you do not make it mandatory for final year students. Final year students are looking to graduate and take up jobs, internships and so on. If first unnecessarily I mean unfortunately they do not pass the NPTEL exam then they have no other mechanism to write the exam. They have also left the university. So this will become very difficult for such students. So we recommend to have this credit transfer process mandatory only for second and third year students. Another point we want to say is you must be familiar with what we call as NPTEL domain. There will be a bunch of courses grouped together put in a basket so that they can pursue those courses to get a domain certification from NPTEL. So for example in computer science you can get a domain certification in artificial intelligence, you can get a domain certification in programming and so on. So when you are suggesting courses for credit transfer you can suggest such courses so that the students can pursue these courses, complete these courses and aim for a NPTEL domain. This is also something you can keep in mind while you implement the regulations in the university. So as I told you our recommendation is four weeks one course is a one credit, eight weeks, two credits and 12 weeks, three credits. Again how do we calculate this learner effort? I briefly explain to you. So watching videos assignment solving is what we are looking at as the investment of time from the students. So typically watching videos it will take about three hours and assignment solving is one hour that is four hours. So sometimes a student may for better grasp they may spend more hours for watching videos four to five hours of video and in other cases assignment solving a typical student instead of one hour they may even take two and a half hours to solve the assignment. So you have to keep this in mind while calculating the learner effort. If you want to blindly go with our recommendations that is fine too because we have come up with this recommendation after a lot of discussions and deliberations. So if you want to follow that that is fine but if your senate your board wants to discuss this and decide how many hours they are you know putting in from the student side then that is also up to you you can extend the credits. So credit calculation as I told you for a four weeks course there is 16 hours and one credit 88 weeks there is 32 hours and two credits 12 weeks 48 hours and three credits. So this is our recommendation. Again there are extra effort that some students are putting in such as they go through text documents and additional reading material they participation discussion forums etc counting all other components such as reading and additional time that they put in you can decide we are giving you all these tables in different formats so that you can use this in your presentation in your discussions with your college board with your college senate and then decide how many credits you want to extend per course. So this is a typical NPTEL certificate as you know the marks will be shown the assignment marks the proctored exam marks total number of candidates certified in this course all these details are given in the certificate. On the backside of the certificate we also give the number of credits recommended by NPTEL. So if anybody has any doubt you can check there if it is a two four weeks course we will show it as one credit if it is an 8 week course two and so on. So on the reverse side of the certificate this will be mentioned. So what not to do when you are recommending courses for transfer. Recommending NPTEL course in the final semester of the degree as I told you please do not make it mandatory and recommended NPTEL courses for first semester again please do not do that naming specific courses with instructors and institute names. So for example we have let's say cloud computing course cloud computing may be offered by IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi and so on. So in your recommendation if you in your course list that you are giving to the students for credit transfer if you specifically mention IIT Madras course of cloud computing that will be restricting these students right. So we suggest that you not mention any specific course names or instructor names or institute names make it as generic as possible. Mention cloud computing course let them decide which institute's course they want to take. Let them join all three courses and then decide which instructor's course suits them. Accordingly they can join the courses and give as many broad recommendations as possible and also provide alternate mechanisms to complete the credit in case they they are unsuccessful in any ways. So what will NPTEL do? Now that let's say students have joined these courses. These courses are now recommended by the college for credit transfer. How will local chapters box? How will you know if these students have completed these courses? You have to now give this information to the college or the university. What will you have access to? So the actual marks scored by each student in every assignment and the actual marks scored in the final certification exam will be given in your SPOC login. These certificates will also be provided in your SPOC login. So you do not have to write to us and ask us for details. All this information will be available in your SPOC login. So it is very easy. It is just a matter of click logging in downloading it as an Excel. Going through the Excel making sure all students details are there and using it as such. So many, many universities and colleges they say are using this. So if you have any doubts please write to us. We will help you with that. So the SPOC will get direct access to enrollment information. That is how many students which students have joined which course? How many students have registered for exams? The hall tickets of the students assignment and exam marks exam center details hall tickets, e-certificates from the beginning the day one the student joins the course till the certificate is given to the student. All these details are available to the SPOC in their login. It is very straightforward. You just have to log in and then access these details. So how universities can implement this credit transfer? So these are some of the methods by which various universities have used our courses for credit transfer. So some colleges use NPTEL scores as such. So those marks are directly transferred to the transcripts of the student. Some other colleges have relative grading of the student marks with respect to highest marks. Those who are in the exam team in your colleges will understand this and accordingly they can scale up also. And you can decide what will go in their degree transcript. So you can either take it as such or you can use it as a relative grading and decide what marks should show in the students transcript. In some other colleges the marks can be has they have been translated to letter grades. So that also can be done by the college or the university side. Again from our side we will provide the marks. How you want to take it? How you want to implement it in your system is up to you. Again the cut off and pass fail marks can also be decided by the university. So for example in NPTEL courses for NPTEL courses the pass mark is 40. But if the university decides that they want to give the pass mark as 35. So we are providing the marks. So you can check and make sure that these many students are also going to pass this course and you can do that accordingly. But the actual marks will always be saved in a server. If in case you want it later. But in your spark login the actual marks will be shown. You can pass it on to the university. The university can decide whether you want to give it as a letter grade as a letter grading or use it as such or even decide what you want to reduce the pass marks and you know so that most students can pass and so on. So that is entirely up to the college or the university. So in the local chapter portal when you go to local chapter page that is nptel.ac.in slash local chapter on the left hand side there is a tab called credit transfer. And there is a document called NPTEL's recommendations for credit transfer. This is a document that we have put up on our website. We recommend that you go through that document. It is a PDF about 10 pages. Please go through the document and all the points that I discussed today that's available in the document as well. Please go through the same and then if you have any doubts you can always ask us. Similarly in the same page we have another list called list of universities, institutes that take NPTEL courses for credit transfer. We have given the list of universities. If you are one of the universities please write to us. We will add your name also in the list and we have also given all the support documents that these universities use. So for example if a university has used in a unique way we ask the SVOC to share it with us and we will provide this in the website so that you can also take a look at it and you can go through these examples and see how you want to implement it in your college or university. So these are some examples for example Abdul Kalam Technology University in Kerala. So what they have is they have something called student activity points. So 50 points is taken if you complete one online course. So they have to complete I think about 250 they have to gain about 250 points across three or four years. So 50 each online course will be equivalent to 50 points. So if a student takes two courses there will be 100 points then they participate in some sports activity or something that's another gather a few points and so on. So online taking online courses completing online courses is one of the ways by which they can complete their student activity points. Similarly in AKTU Uttar Pradesh courses taken through NPTEL can be taken as pre PhD course that is 20 credits and also 20 credits they will earn for BTEC honors through online courses. There is another way of implementing there. So MOOCs I mean each university has come up with their own ways of doing it. University of Calicut they have audit courses so they don't take it for this GPA but they they can do it as audit courses. And in Soilapur University if the student doesn't pass they have they conduct their own exams and make sure that the student does not you know fail from graduating and so on. So these are some examples that I have shown here this these all these examples are available on our website also. So this is our local chapter email ID for any queries you can write to us. We also now have a dedicated mobile number. If you have any questions please call us at this number so it will be you know we our team will be more than happy to answer all the queries. So I'm going to stop sharing my screen now. So I would request all our viewers here today to put up your hands if you have any questions and we will go by turn if you have any questions as far as I know I will answer otherwise I will also check with somebody else and I will we will send a reply to you by email. So if you have any questions please raise your hand and we can help you understand. Mr Prasad Hegde please unmute and you can ask the question. Prasad Hegde are you there? Mr Prasad Hegde are you there? Okay we'll move on to the next person. Gajendra Gajendra Singh sir are you there? Ma'am am I audible? Yes yes please introduce yourself sir and please ask the question. This is Dr. Gajendra Singh Pachlore from Vinayak Vidyan Maha Vidyalay our local college local chapter code is 4054. I'm talking from Amravati University. My question is is there any system through which we can know whether our university is actually having this credit transfer system from NPTEL because our university will be implementing CBCS from this academic year that is 2020. So where the system can come whether the system is implemented by the university or not? Okay so sir so your question is whether is there any way for you to now know whether they have already implemented is it? You want us to tell you? I'm not very clear on the question sir. Okay so see if if the college or somebody has told us we will have that information. Otherwise we do not know sir. You can probably write to the university authorities and find out or write to similar colleges from who are affiliated to this university and find out from them. Otherwise we do not have any idea as to which universities have implemented this. We usually get this information from our local chapter is VUCs. Okay I hope I have answered your question. Thank you sir Satya Narayanan Das sir please go ahead and mute and answer please. Ask your question sir Satya Narayanan Das. Okay Ampika madam. Ampika madam go ahead. Divya is there any difficulty for them to? Ampika madam yes please go ahead. Yes yes go ahead. Our local chapter ID is 956. Hello. Ampika madam please go ahead sir can you please mute? Yeah. Okay sir. Sir ma'am I am K school of engineering and management or a local chapter ID is 956. I want to know whether you have any idea about credit transfer from Vishweshwariya Technological University? No madam. So that's what I was just you know replying to the previous question also. Many of you are asking if I know. See if the SPOC has told us we will know. Okay. Otherwise we do not know. So what I suggest is if you know of other colleges you know who is affiliated to the same university please write to them to call them talk to them and you can probably approach the university together and ask this. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Thank you ma'am. Thank you ma'am. Somebody else was talking. Sathya Narayan Das are you ready to ask? Hello. Yes yes go ahead sir please please introduce yourself. Good evening ma'am. Good evening ma'am. Good evening to all. This is Professor S. N. Das Sathya Narayan Das from GID University Gunpur Odisha ma'am. Okay sir. Actually since the last couple of years we are associated with the NPTEL, the local Charter. Local Charter ID is 2280. Yes. And more or less for semester around 1000 students are getting the examination in our university. Sir. The last time we have incorporated this particular thing in the in our board of study meeting as well as the academy council. Okay. For incorporating this credit transfer system. Okay. First time when we are incorporated we are failed to incorporate all this thing because some of the students are failed and some of the students are not able to clear the papers. Okay. At that time what the board of management as well as board of study members are suggested you have an alternate mechanism for that. So that whatever the courses we are provided in the elective course from that we have afford this NPTEL course as a mandatory for all the students to clear and if they are not able to clear that particular paper they have to be appear the means offline examination which you are conducted from the university. Okay. This is what our board of study as well as academy council has suggested because we cannot make compulsory for each and every students to complete the certification otherwise we will not provide the degree. Right. That will be the things which we are incorporated this year ma'am this particular mandate we have come. Yes sir that is very good because you know if a student is not able to complete the NPTEL certification the college has to come up with a mechanism. So this is the exactly what we are saying. So very nice sir thanks for sharing this sir. Thank you. Thank you ma'am. Thank you. Thank you. Divya anybody else? Okay. If anybody else wants to ask a question please go ahead. Somebody has written they have completed my final semester exams this July in waiting for the results. I am at interest in attending NPTEL except will the credits include in my grade. So the Jan semester is complete now. So if you are going to join the July semester with NPTEL those will not be credited with your university because you are already in the final year right. So I don't think it will be applicable. We will share this recording don't worry we will share this recording. I will I'm sorry we are not the recording but we'll share the youtube link. This is also going live on youtube so we will be sharing the youtube link with everybody. Any other questions? So as I was telling you the say if the document is available on our website I was showing it to you the local chapter page. You can take it from the credit transfer tab. The document is called NPTEL recommendations. So we urge all of you to go through the document and let us know if you have any doubts at all. We will check here and we will come back with the right suggestion for you. So please go ahead and discuss it with your you know college authorities. If you have any questions please write to us. Any other questions you can put in the chat window or you can ask also. I hope this session was helpful. I hope everybody understood because we have made it as simple as possible and as clear as possible to everyone. One thing I want to highlight here is that not all courses will be available in all semesters. The popular courses will be available in all semesters. Some other courses will be available in odd semester and even semester. So what happens is sometimes the universities will go ahead and publish a list of courses and then they come back and tell us oh this list is not available in this semester. So we will not be in a position to add those courses at that time because see we also have to check with the availability of the IT faculty and so on. So you please take a look at our list first and then decide which courses you want to use for credit transfer. So we have published a tentative course list up to 20-24 July semester. At least two three semesters ahead of time we have published. You can go through that list and decide for the next semester for your own college or university. Any other questions? Is there any polytechnic practicing credits transfer? Not that I am aware of sir. You can always ask your colleagues that you whom you know. Can faculty members join university remote center through employee ID? I am not so sure. I have a question can't unmute. Divya Devank Parekh. Can you please help? Pallavi Gogoy also has a question. Ma'am please unmute. Team can you please help unmute Pallavi Gogoy? Yes, go ahead please. We have just recently made our institute with a local chapter. It is 4934. We are a school of architecture here in Rajkot, Gujarat. Yesterday we had a board of studies meeting and we actually had a discussion about this lending transfer and kind of thing in the university. Now we are affiliated to university, so we have to actually follow what university has to say. There was a very unusual kind of a question which was raised. For example, we have we thought that we will offer this course in the elective or as suggested by our Council of Architecture in an open elective category so that students have a choice to choose out of architecture. Now what is that? Generally in the mark sheets in the elective portion if we want to reflect this title of this courses that students have taken it would be very difficult because every time this courses will be new and the kind of thing. The university had a very difficult kind of a situation. They said that probably we will not be able to do it. What happens that when you write general kind of thing that students have taken elective? It is a I mean what do you say it's like a generic type in elective? So what we suggest is students take it as yeah. So what we suggest is again these are our recommendations. If the university wants to emphasize on any one particular course that's fine. It is completely up to you. So we are saying generic is easier for students. From the students perspective let us not make it compulsory, let us not give a course name, let us not give an institute name and so on. But if the university thinks that okay this is the course that we want the students to take that's completely fine. So my question was related to the same thing. How does the other universities those who implemented this thing, how does it get reflected in the mark sheet that they have done through Swaya? For example AKTU Lucknow UP. So they have decided you know prior to corona you know there is a course called soft skills development or there is a cold course called what is that Pratap sir's course that environment introduction not the research course there's another course that environment related one courses there. So these courses they have specifically mentioned that the second semester student must complete this course. They have mentioned the course name they have mentioned the professor name they have mentioned the institute name. It has come out as a regulation that they have to complete. So every student in in colleges affiliated to the university they had to complete that course. So in the mark sheet it reflects in the name of that course? Yes absolutely. So I will do one thing sir you can send an email to local chapter mail ID. So we have people in our IT Kanpur office who have been closely working with AKTU. So they can properly guide you. Okay fine. Okay thank you sir. Thank you. Divya anyone else? Hello ma'am. Yes go ahead go ahead. My name is Pallabh Gogo. I am from Asamdan Bosco University local chapter 197. Okay. I have a two question actually. The question number one all the courses are actually available in the archive also. Right. So suppose we give certain course to the student to suppose finish the courses. They can go through the archive also and they can we can conduct the exam because it is not available currently suppose in your portal. Yes sir that is that is completely fine sir that is the idea of doing all the courses in the archived portal. Because NPTEL course. Yes sir absolutely it is up to you. Yes absolutely yes it is possible because our our theme is you know to help students. So certain set of courses we will offer each semester once the semester is over it is entirely it is archived in another place. So yes through that portal what will happen is it is there is no certification from our side but if your students want to watch the videos go through the assignments etc and take your own exam. Yes that is completely fine. We won't give certification that's all. Okay. Your college or university giving the exam that is completely fine. Okay so another question is that as far as the AICT is concerned actually for the honors courses the minimum requirement is 20 credit. Okay. So and in second year and the third year it is very difficult for a student to complete all the 20 credit course. Okay. In addition to 163 credit which is provided by the AICT new model. Okay. And even if they have got you know lots of internship program activity points program as suggested by the AICT. Right. So is there any possibility that suppose you are providing some course which is actually suppose treated as a three credit course. Okay. Can we increase the credit from our side. From your side absolutely again yes. So again in the beginning I was telling you how if for a 12 week course we recommend three credits but your college or your university if you want to give say four credits for that course or five credits for that course. It is up to your board your senate. We have absolutely no problem in that. Okay. But our server will always show as 12 week course three credits. So what we recommend is for across colleges and across universities. So we will not be changing that. So based on our calculations it is a three credit course but if your university wants to extend safe high credit for that course that is completely up to you. That is not a problem for us. Actually saying a thing is that madam actually nowadays students is finally very difficult understood to be very honest. No problem sir that is again that is where the flexibility comes in. So we are only recommending we are not the credit giving authority right. We are just conducting the exams and we are giving getting so giving certificates. What credit should be given to that you know the time they spend is up to you. Thank you very much for your application. No problem. Good afternoon ma'am. Yes sir. We are the local chapter with local chapter ID 2980 Takfi University Jaipur. Okay sir. Ma'am I have some queries related with the registration and enrollment. Actually the students who are registering who are enrolling them for the courses. They are also shown in the login ID of SPOC in registration. So I would like to know the difference between the enrolled student and a registered student. Okay. So these are two terminologies that we use internally here. Enrolling means joining. Enrolling to the course meaning joining the course. So joining is free. There is absolutely no fee for joining an NPTEL course. So this semester July 2022 semester we are offering 620 courses. So a student if he or she wants they can join all 620 courses. There is no fee associated with that. Once they join the course they will get access to the study material. There is a videos and they can also submit assignments for free. So if a student or a faculty is has joined the course only to study they are not aiming for a certification then there is no fees associated at all. They can watch the videos anytime they will have full access 24-7 for lifetime. They can watch it anytime and they can submit assignments also. But if the student or the faculty is aiming for a certification now they have to come and register for the exam. So that is a separate process. There is a separate registration form for that. They have to come and fill the form submit some details such as upload their photo their signature etc. And they have to pay the fees. So why is there a fee for the exam because these exams are conducted in exam centres. We have to pay the exam centre to use the computer and other facilities at the centre. So there is a fee for that. That is why we are collecting exam fees alone and that is 1000 rupees per course for a general category student. If the student belongs to an SCST or a PWD category then the fees is 50% less. They pay only 500 rupees per course. So I hope you understood the difference. When we say enrolment details that means these are details of students who have come on joined a course. Ma'am one more question is there. If a student is enrolled only then he or she have not to go to that procedure of uploading the photos signature. That is correct. In that case can we take the assignment marks as a credit if we are offering that course as a credit course. So can we get the assignment marks of that particular student? Yes sir. Assignment marks are also available in the SPOC login. That is also provided by us. But after enrolling the student are not in that situation to fill the what is that the tab is there whether you are agreed to transfer your marks to the Right sir. That is because see the problem is when students see assignments students copy from each other right. They are all doing it on their own. They ask each other yeah many students do that right. So we generally do not recommend you taking the assignment marks for credit. Because that is not a true test of how much they have learned. At the end of the day we all want the students to understand that gets killed through these courses right. See if you if you want to take the assignment marks as internal marks or something that is fine as one part of some total marks. But if you are going to give credit based on assignment marks I wouldn't recommend that at all. No only only for the internal assessment ma'am. Internal assessment that is fine. As long as you know you monitor them take the exams or something I think it will be fine. But again if we you do not need our permission to do that. You can you can do it any day. The only thing is like I said if they do not register for exams they will not get a certificate from our side. Ma'am the condition is if they are only joining the courses but in that situation they are not able to fill the registration form because they are not filling the registration form for the certificate by Rs. 30,000. So that situation as well the tab will not be there. What is the whether you want to take a credit course. Yes sir that is that is why at that stage we are not asking that question. We will ask that question only to those who are coming and writing the exam because from our side we are recommending credit transfer only for those who take the exam. We are not recommending people who are taking the yes sir. So that question will not be added but again like I said you know you can decide from your side whoever enrolled you know you can give a you can take the assignment marks can be taken for internal marks and but we will not recommend that as for credit transfer. Okay from our side it is a policy decision that only those who come to an exam center take the exam complete the certification only those results can be given for credit. Okay okay thank you thank you. Students picking courses from different domains and irrelevant from their degree is that probable possible to get the credits for them guy three. So madam again you know we are offering we are the authority for offering courses so in whatever way you want to give a credit it's up to you okay. Any other questions? Rishwan? Yes go ahead. Yeah go ahead go ahead. Whoever is speaking please go ahead. Rishwanathan ma'am. Yes go ahead. Spoke of college credit. Doubt is in examination for all the courses whether the questions will be in objective manner or all or else there will be a possible for descriptive questions. There will be a possibility of descriptive also so assignment questions are more or less objective type because these are auto graded right. So the assignment questions will be more or less objective type but the final exam we will leave it completely to the course instructor. So in one semester it might be a hundred percent objective question paper but that doesn't mean the next semester it will be like that it can it can contain subjective also. So ahead of time we cannot tell you what type of questions will come it can be a mix of any of these. Okay okay. And one more doubt one more doubt is whether and for all courses the material will be downloadable. Yes yes videos are downloadable they are also available on youtube. YouTube for some of the courses there is an ppt to downloadable but for some courses there is no available. No sir no sir all courses are available you please send an email to local chapter mail id our team will guide you. Yes my okay every course is available. See from our side we always make sure that it is easy and accessible to all students. So ours is a non profit organization so we make sure that it's available to all students. Okay so if you have any difficulty any such doubts please send an email to local chapter mail id my colleague Divya is also in this call today she handles local chapter emails so they will make sure that your queries are answered. Sure Thank you for leaving ma'am. Yes sir go ahead. Ma'am actually I want to ask that if we have a three credit course in our syllabus so two credit from NPTEL and one credit from our side like that also we can divide. Yes yes again you know again and again I'm repeating this we are not the credit giving authority we are just conducting exams we are conducting the course whatever way you want to take it it's up to you. So just that is completely fine. Certificates will be provided and we have to calculate and we have to schedule that how credit we are going to take from that. Yes yes yes thank you. Okay any other questions? Is there any process is there any process or credit transform is there any? Yes sir so we have been explaining this from you know the from five o'clock I think so what what we'll do is we will we will share the YouTube video to all the SVOCs and also there are some documents in our website so you can go through that sir. The credit transfer policy we have explained there so I think it will be too much repetitive for those who have already listened to me so please go through the same okay. Okay thank you. Thank you. Any other questions? Is there separate NPTEL courses for Diploma UG PG? Sorry I'm just reading out a question is there separate NPTEL courses for Diploma UG PG? No all courses can be taken by everybody but we sometimes recommend that certain courses be taken by a UG student or a PG student depending on the intensity of the course. Okay depending on the intensity of the course a UG or a PG student is recommended but all courses can be taken by anyone okay there is no such separation. Ma'am what is the simplest way of implementing credit transfer what is the simplest way according to you? According to me whatever marks we give you take it as such if we say it's a 12 week course if the student has passed you can give them three credits if it is an 8 week course two credits four week course one credit as such you take the marks that is the simplest way okay if you want to change only then only you will need you know your board of studies recommendations and so on maximum how many courses can be registered for exam in a semester a student can write up to six exams so in a year they can write up to 12 exams they can complete 12 courses I think we have time for one more question if you have any question please ask ma'am can it be used for showing in value-added courses yes sir any other questions so thank you all thank you all so much somebody is asking for an extension of enrollment time yes we will please send an email to local chapter mail id we will check with our professors and decide that okay so thanks again thanks for joining so if you have any more questions please send to local chapter at NPTEL email id we also have a dedicated phone number now please call our team will help thank you again thank you so much we are closing this session thank you I hope this was useful for all of you for any further questions please write to us thank you
