 I am N.V. Manjanath, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Bannarayaman Institute of Technology, Satyamagalam. I came to know about NPTEL courses from my friend Adibaranan, which gave me a good platform to improve my knowledge in the field of civil engineering and also bridge the gap between me and IIT. NPTEL is having various advantages. One of the main advantages is discussion forum, which is helping me to bridge a good network between myself and other peers of the civil engineering groups in and around India. I usually allot one hour daily to complete the courses, which is very much easy to complete two 12 week courses in a semester. I usually use college facilities to get the transcript videos, transcripts, videos and other lecture materials from the NPTEL. Now NPTEL is offering a separate course advocate for all the courses. If they are offering a diploma certificate, like if a person is completed two or four courses in a semester. If they are offering a diploma certificate like that, which will be very much helpful in improving our ratio. And also we need sufficient time, like we need at least two weeks time between a final exam and the final week of the 12 week course, which is very much helpful to improve the marks in our final exam and also get revised of the subjects and other things. And also now I am suggesting my friends to get the NPTEL courses, now they are doing and also my students are also some of them doing the NPTEL courses and getting knowledge. On the whole, NPTEL is very much helping in improving my knowledge in the civil engineering field and also giving exposure to the next gen technologies in the field of civil engineering. Thank you.
