 Good morning sir. Good morning all of you. Good morning, Solan. Yes mummy, you can start. Yes ma'am, thank you so much ma'am. Thank you so much. Very good morning to all. I am Solan Dinkar Guggeda, assistant professor from the department of MSG and Spock of local chapter Guru Nanak College of Science, Balarpur. It's my absolute honour to welcome on behalf of Guru Nanak College of Science, Balarpur and Jyan Ganga College of Technology, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh today's resources person respected Priyadarshani madam from NPTL IIT Madras and whole NPTL IIT Madras team. Thank you madam. Thank you IIT Madras team. Welcome. It's my immense pleasure to welcome Dr. SS Pokhresar principal and Dr. Divya Spakwanulu sir principal Jyan Ganga College of Technology, Madhya Pradesh Welcome sir. Thank you. I take a portionity to welcome all head of department's faculties from the both the colleges. Welcome you all. Thank you so much. I also welcome beloved student from both the colleges those who are actively participated in this NPTL awareness e-workshop. Welcome you all again. Now I request Dr. SS Pokhresar principal Guru Nanak College of Science, Balarpur give the introductory remarks speech of our college. Thank you so much sir. Please. Hello. Hello. I am audible. Yes sir. You are audible. Oh. Thank you. Thank you. Good morning everyone. I am Dr. Sharadeh Spokhle principal Guru Nanak College of Science, Balarpur district Chandrapur in Maharashtra. I am very much happy on the occasion of functioning of the NPTL awareness e-workshop program. Dear student, modern age is an age of science and advanced technology. In this fast moving age in which the world is becoming a global village, education is must to identify our self universally. Gaining knowledge is the first step to wisdom and sharing with the first humanity. Science plays the pivotal role in causing dischange predominantly in the direction of progress. National program on technology enhanced learning that is NPTL is a project of MHRT initiated by a 7 Indian institute of technology Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Guwahati and Rukki along with the Indian institute of science, Bangalore in 2003 to provide quality education to everyone interested in learning from the IITs. The main goal was to create web and video courses in all major branches of engineering and physical sciences at the undergraduate and post graduate level and management courses at the post graduate level. NPTL, SOEM is a national portal being developed by MHRT government of India in order to ensure best quality content is produced and deliver 7 national coordinators have been appointed under SOEM. NPTL is the official SOEM national coordinator for engineering. All NPTL online certificate courses are in SOEM courses too and they are available in the SOEM platform as well. NPTL is useful in filling the gap in learning here. Here one can learn from the best feature in the country for you. NPTL is the best best platform for online learning because there is no pre-qualification no age limit and no entrance criteria to enroll. Now our college, Kuranana College of Science Vallarpur is an academic and intellectual phase of Guru Nanak Seva Samiti Virur. It is gratifying to note that with the hard and persistent effort of late Sardar Ajish Seva Tony it has been possible to establish a co-educational single faculty science college in the year 1971 at Vallarpur. One of the backward region of Chandrapur district which comes under the tribal belt. It is through their backing help and active support the college started functioning from 28 June 1971 with the motto, with a view to impact science education to the ruler and semi-urban student of Chandrapur and Garchural District in Maharashtra. In accordance with our motto, this institution has diversified academic programs and has more emphasis on the curriculum aspect considering the industrial needs of the area and the recent trend. In the field of science, the college has introduced various courses from time to time during the last 5 decades. This institution has a track record of its academic excellence at different level. The college continuously marching ahead with its well qualified and devoted stop under the able guidance of the beloved president Sardar Naginder Singh Tony. The aim of this college is to impact science education and help to pursue higher education and employment. The course started the university and three years degree course in science with 91 students and 5 subjects. This single faculty science college has now fiddled in the cap with 450 students in degree section and about 500 students in the junior section and 10 subjects. The college has well equipped laboratories to conduct various experiments in chemistry, physics, botany, biology, microbiology, geology, biochemistry, biotechnology, electronics and computer science. Guru Nanak College of Science Balarpur is an academic phase of Guru Nanak Seva Samiti Virur. It has become an educational hub while catering to the educational needs of ruler, populace and inculcating social values among students. The college is also equally in the forefront of spreading environmental awareness in the highly populated area. Our institution encouraged students and provide guidance to them from time to time for higher learning. The career counseling sale encouraged the students to appear for various competitive examinations keeping in the view of need of employment. Career guidance called education based to give opportunities to the student of college to face interviews and return tests of various companies. Our college is very particular about two fundamental things. First, the teacher's attitude towards their own role in education and a deeper understanding of how students can prepare for facing challenges. One more thing here I would like to advise to you. Further to join the courses of NPTEL you have to study that with team observation which will give you the right kind of foundation for your future journey career. Be knowledge oriented person be career oriented ones. Good institute plays a strong foundation for the future life of the student. Our best wishes are always with you. Dr. Saropalli Radhakrishnan would say don't study for nearly examination. Study should be real enjoyment of life. I wish you a bright future in your future life. Thank you. Thank you all the best. Thank you so much sir. Thank you so much sir for enlightening this event and now I request Dr. Divya S. Vaganulu sir enlightening this event Dr. Divya S. Vaganulu sir Thank you Sonal. Am I audible? Yes sir audible. Thank you Sonal and thank you for joining this awareness program of NPTEL and welcome to all for this e workshop. Come to NPTEL basically I am from IIT Madras product I know about NPTEL very well when I completed my PhD in 1996 from IIT Madras at that time there is no NPTEL but 2003 it started even when I am teaching some of the courses I used to take NPTEL syllabus and used to prepare one of the advantages with most of the autonomous colleges and universities are whatever the syllabus being covered in NPTEL can be taken as their syllabus and then they can introduce the courses that is one of the advantages with NPTEL we have because UGC mandate is earlier 40% of the courses can be covered using MOOCs but now recently they changed it to 40% 40% of the courses can be as credit transfer can be done in their total curriculum so that NPTEL courses can be taken and then used for the students so that it will be advantage for the students at the same time particularly if you come to engineering most of the companies are asking the students to join their company either in the 7th semester or 8th semester but the college of technology is coming under RGPB Raju Gandhi technical e-mers team so their syllabus provides around 3 courses in the 7th semester and 3 courses in the 8th semester so in the situation this NPTEL has given a very good advantage for the students so that even though they go for internship and also do these courses in the NPTEL another advantage is the credit transfer is very much easy for the faculty because in NPTEL we have 8 weeks to 12 week courses are available so that either 2 credits or 3 credits can be transferred to the particular student those who are doing using MOOCs around total 3500 courses definitely giving an advantage to the students to carry out these courses either from the 1st semester or 8th semester and if you see that NIR ranking, National Institute of Ranking framework, they are also provided online education, 10 marks they provided for the online education so most of the students who carry out this one will give additional advantage to the college so that they can be a frontrunner in the ranking by having online education to them using either NPTEL or SWIME some of our faculty are already doing these courses and later they are going to conduct similar classes in the classroom because for the faculty also it is providing additional advantage to getting more knowledge and students we are always supporting most of the students to carry out NPTEL courses in our Gananganga College of Technology and being a local center most of our students are doing and another thing about our education society, we have under Vardaman Education Society, we have two engineering colleges, one is Gananganga Institute of Technology Sciences, second one is Gananganga College of Technology our college. We are total in takeoff 360 in which we have computer science, mechanical, civil and electronic communication total 360 seats we have available and ours is one of the best institution in Madhya Pradesh and all our seats being filled completely filled by the students even though there is no entrance examination as per Madhya Pradesh government but our seats are being filled because the reason is we are providing multi-disciplinary education at the same time what students required continuously we are concentrating on it and you know very well that nowadays which are all the companies visiting most of the engineering colleges they are looking for the students who are having multi-disciplinary skills this NPTEL some of the courses in which our student, our faculty are adding the students so that they are getting if you see other online platforms like edX or Coursera or Udemy these are their examination system is not very good compared to NPTEL NPTEL courses they give very good assignments and examination system is very very good but one of the point when I checked NPTEL website there are total 1.5 crore students have registered in the last years in the last many years but only around 25 lakh people only could get certification because the process is very rigor and very good examination system and SMA system is there so that there is no any chance of plagiarism for the student so students has to do individually so that he will gain knowledge by getting a certification from the NPTEL. So NPTEL overall supporting very well most of the technical educations and also in the science education and as a local chapter our Ganga College of Technology we are supporting most of the students near local colleges and also our own two engineering colleges we are supporting them so that students come out with flying colours once they complete these NPTEL courses. I am happy to participate in this inaugural address of EA Venice workshop on NPTEL. Thank you all. Thank you so much sir. Thank you sir. Yes mom I would share. Yes. We will start off with it. So NPTEL is today a lot of initiatives put together it is not just about creating courses and putting it up on the website but we have certification not just certification for one course but it is also clubbing courses together to make it into a domain. For faculty we have FDP courses which fetch you career points then we have internship opportunity for students we have a soft skill training going on for local chapter students and so on. So this is what this presentation will talk about. Okay. So you might have all heard about these two terms NPTEL and SWAYAM. So SWAYAM is a project of the ministry the government of India and they created this in 2017 and said that all these agencies that you see below right IAM, Bangalore, UGC CEC NCRT, NITR, AICT they all have to offer courses for certification under SWAYAM. So NPTEL is also a national coordinator under SWAYAM we primarily offer courses in engineering the UG level, the bachelor's level, the MTech ME level some PhD level courses also but since we have courses that are there in the management and humanities division inside IITs we offer that also on NPTEL. NPTEL also coordinates with some institutes like the ISRS to offer say the physics, chemistry mathematics courses we work with the triple ITs we work with national law school Bangalore we work with some medical institutions to offer medical related courses so maybe 90% of our courses will be engineering related humanities management and 10% is something else we help. So NPTEL comes under SWAYAM and we coordinate this primarily. There are other agencies also so one thing to remember when you are going to SWAYAM.gov.in and you try to enroll to any course so you try to join any course please check whether the national coordinator is NPTEL if you want to join the NPTEL course because if you just search for say a database management systems course right maybe there is some other college also offering it with somebody else's coordinating so the course name that we offer will also be database management system theirs will also be that possibly so how do you actually differentiate if it's an NPTEL course on every course card we will have a logo of NPTEL I showed you when we come there but you can check that and then you can join the course okay that is something that you have to look out for okay NPTEL started in 2003 the vision mission that we have had is to record the content that is being taught to IIT students and put it out for anybody to watch and view so that nobody can say I didn't get a chance to prepare for IITs I am not in the IITs today I cannot get access to their knowledge to their teaching hence you know I denied this opportunity nobody can say that today more than 2000 courses we have in our repository you can go there and you can actually access the courses for free you can just go there you can scroll you can watch all the videos we have more than 50,000 hours of video in our website you can access all that for free there is no charge there is no fee at all to access our content okay there is somebody who is asking is NPTEL useful for students of LLB so National Law School Bangalore NLSIU is offering two courses I think in Jan I don't know if you have July we had two courses I think and more are coming in that so specific to law we do have couple of courses IIT Karakpur has a law department so from there we have some courses coming in but otherwise you can access the general courses that we have also say management or English those might be useful to you yeah so whenever you think of a website right what really do you look out for say how many people access that website how much content do we have in a youtube also whenever we go to and watch a youtube video or a youtube channel one of the things we look at is how many people have watched that video or how many subscribers are there in that channel correct so this is the NPTEL statistics we have more than 1.3 billion views of the NPTEL videos okay so this is like huge huge for a technical channel which has no entertainment you can't call NPTEL videos as entertainment there is no song and dance or something it's all faculty from the IITs IAC teaching serious stuff there and for that we have more than 1.3 billion views we have 37 lakh subscribers on our youtube channel so any of you has not subscribed to our channel today I think I would say you're missing out on something go to our youtube channel subscribe for our updates so that you get it go to our social media handles subscribe to our social media handle so that you get the latest updates from NPTEL and this is where we are today as of NPTEL okay so these are what we do at NPTEL today and if you do an NPTEL course what is the use of it so the very first point is credit transfer I was just talking to Dr Satish also about it and said that maybe we should try to see whether students can get credit transfer for the courses that you do from NPTEL but yes even if you don't get credit transfer I think you get a lot of knowledge from NPTEL courses for instance say what are the kind of courses we have that we would recommend to students in your college correct so we will say that we have a lot of programming courses so we have programming and C, C++, Python Java programming and all that so if you are say a BSE physics student or a BA English student maybe a B.Com student as part of your program in the college you would not be learning programming possibly so you can go to NPTEL you can learn the programming course you can learn a bit of programming and also get that certificate along with your wherever you go today to any company you want they use some kind of a database they will have some kind of coding that is there they will have some kind of software they are using for within their company it's good for you all to know at least something about it ok that is the first part the other thing ok what are the other courses we have that is useful for you if you are planning for higher education you want to go in for a master's degree supposing you want to strengthen your fundamentals your foundations you want to maybe do some more courses from other institutes so that you are confident when you are attending interviews those courses will be available on NPTEL so we have all the UG undergraduate courses you can go through that you don't even have to write the exam for each of these courses you can just go through the videos you can try solving problems you can watch many videos try to get knowledge from it and strengthen your foundation so if you are going for higher education I would say the courses are really useful so first thing I will say try something like programming courses then you go in for higher education probably you want to try and strengthen your fundamentals the third thing try to learn something that is of interest to you which you possibly cannot learn otherwise for instance we have courses on German language teaching you German teaching you Japanese teaching you Sanskrit so if you want to learn any of these you can come to NPTEL and learn so for instance German is taught only by maybe the Goethe institute and maybe some other institutes here the same course is taught but it is free for you and if you want a certificate you can write the exam but otherwise too you can learn the German language for free same thing you can learn Japanese language why are these useful maybe you go to a company that has branches in Germany, Japan they have opportunities for people to go there but you need to know the language so at that point this becomes very useful for you so you can try to learn other languages also through NPTEL courses ok maybe you're technically very strong you have good foundations you have good knowledge in your particular program but maybe your English is not very good hence you're not confident about speaking we have a lot of courses like soft skills development soft skills enhancement how to attend an interview the body language that you have when attending an interview interpersonal communication skills leadership skills so we have a lot of courses like this that you can also go through it will give you a lot of tips on how to present yourself how to ready yourself for such situation so that having the knowledge you can also be confident when you talk to somebody and you are presenting or being in an interview so that's another set of NPTEL courses that we have as part of what we offer so anybody who wants to learn I think should be able to get at least 2 or 3 courses of their interest that they can join and learn joining is free like I said there is no fee at all it is all completely free and you can watch it there are no live classes these are all recorded lectures so you can watch at your convenience if your college there college time is say from 1pm to 4pm or something in the evening you have time you can sit and watch NPTEL lectures on Saturday Sunday you can watch it there will be one assignment every week you have to solve the assignment and you have to submit it so that also you get 10 days of time so you can watch the lectures you can try solving the assignment maybe a couple of you friends are joining the same course you can all sit together you can learn from each other you can solve together take help and you can do the NPTEL courses so there is no such thing as there will be live lectures maybe you will miss a few lectures because you have college or something it is all video lectures along with assignment so the first part is credit transfer and learning from our courses apart from it if you do very well maybe we should go to next slides yeah so this is the credit transfer I don't want to discuss too much about this because I think your university doesn't have credit transfer so I will skip this slide and so credit transfer just as a piece of information for maybe the faculty who are out here IATs do do credit transfer from NPTEL courses we do it at the BTEC level we do it at the master's level for PhD working professionals for them to get credit transfer also we do it so IATs also do credit transfer from NPTEL courses it is not just the outside colleges that have to do we ourselves do credit transfer from NPTEL courses okay yeah this is an important thing I would say so we have a program by which the toppers in the courses actually get internship opportunity with the faculty in the IATs so who has offered that course they take it normally about 2, 3, 5 interns during summer or winter if you are a topper in the course so if you do a course very well if you are a topper in the certification course then we give you an opportunity to intern with the faculty so we are trying to scale up these numbers COVID hit us also so we could not get them but we hope it to be at least 200-300 students who can intern at the IATs with the faculty so this is a wonderful opportunity for you to come and stay in the city be in the IAT Madras or IAT Kanpur or IAT Kharakpur or IAT Bombay lab you get to interact with the faculty members there you interact with their PhD scholars there you can do all of this which will be wonderful if you are especially thinking about going for higher studies you will get the idea of what is done in these institutes I think it's a really good opportunity for students outside of the IATs to come in and experience the IATs here so there is internship then we also do soft skill training so there are many colleges who provide it on their own but there are also some colleges who do not have this training for the students so if college students in local chapters they participate in NPTEL courses then for those students we are providing soft skill training so this training is of two types we do a one week training or we do a two week training depending on how much time the student can spare and the college also wants the students to do so here we have group discussion practice we ask you to write your resume and we give input on the resume we ask you all to present about yourselves give feedback about how you should talk where you should look your body language and so on and there are also a one on one like every student will get half an hour with a trainer to discuss about how they should also do so the right side photo you see is a one on one where we do mock interviews we try to simulate an interview and see how you respond and then give feedback on how you should do better in your interview so we do soft skill training for students who do NPTEL courses so this is something that we do from NPTEL again if you look at numbers we have finished soft skill training for more than 2000 students currently and we are doing about 10 colleges a month and we hope to scale it up so if you are I don't know Pethipalli college has done it but yes we can extend it to y'all also and we can get it done so there's a 7 or 14 day training program that I was talking about next okay so somebody was asking will we get jobs with these NPTEL courses how is it helpful to us and so on when we do surveys of NPTEL students and where they have gotten placed these are the companies that they have gotten placed so far this is like some of the companies are on it's not all the companies that they've gotten placed for but they have said that the NPTEL courses have really helped them when they went for the interviews when they show a certificate to the interviewer and say I did a course with the IITs I got so much marks in that course it really does help in the job interview so those people also ask questions on that assuming you've studied well and you can answer it will definitely help you that outside of the college syllabus you have done something more to learn and skill yourself also companies approaches and ask us do we have students in particular areas that we can send them their resumes so we also collect resumes of students on our site and if they're interested we send these out to the companies and the companies call them for interviews go through their levels of recruitment and we have been able to place NPTEL students from our side also in some companies so we are still working on it I hope this will increase we are talking with more companies on this front but otherwise even if you have like two or three courses from NPTEL and a certificates for it I think it will be hugely useful because of the logos we put on the certificate okay yeah the next one there are a lot of students learners faculty who do multiple courses with us there are people who do the courses maybe you know they do three courses in a semester four courses in a semester they are toppers into our three courses every semester there are people who have done a lot of courses with us I'll maybe show you the data in the next one but this is another type of recognition we give to NPTEL learners so you can go to NPTEL website and at the top we have a link called NPTEL stars so click on that link click any of this you will see how many people are actually doing multiple courses with us so if students are thinking oh I don't have time and I'm so busy I can't do it you should just see to see these pages to see how come these people who are working professionals who are students in colleges just like you or who are maybe you know studying or faculty or something how are they able to get the time to do so many courses if they can get the time I think anybody can get the time right you just have to manage your time on when you're going to study and not waste time on something else that is not important etc so this page I would say please go and see so these are the kind of domain scholars superstars evangelists and all we have we have more than about 3000 as I can just calculate on the flight that we are going to have these people doing multiple courses and they are NPTEL stars with us today so there is something called domain certification that we have currently come up with in the last 2 years so what is a domain right so a domain we have created just to club courses together and maybe about 5 or 6 courses we have put together and we say that if you study this 6 courses and you get more than 60 in the course in each course not just pass it by getting a 40 then you get a domain scholar certificate so why is this important this is important because it shows that you have specialized in a particular area so for instance we have a programming domain so in the programming domain we have courses such as see C++ python database management course and then maybe cloud computing course and so on so if you do a programming domain and you do all the 6 courses it shows that you have a solid foundation in this particular area so when you go for an interview and you actually show a domain certificate versus just one or two certificates from us that will make more of an impact on the interviewing person so this is something we recommend it is more just to guide students on what to study to become and specialize in one particular area we found that many NPTEL learners do 4 or 5 courses but they do random courses that are not connected to each other so this domain will guide you in what to study if you want to specialize in a particular area we have about 53 domains today in all branches of engineering management, English and for faculty we have a faculty domain basic and advanced also so that you can also go through that part of it so you can go to our website there are more details on domains there we can talk about it later too okay yeah so these are some of the domains we have so for you it might be relevant the English studies we have a domain psychology we have a domain management we have it in marketing operations patents and intellectual property and economics and of course engineering and all we have couple of domains so if you are a general student not an engineering student I would recommend the programming domain for you if you want to try out something do the programming domain or do the management domain that will be really useful for you so if you are an engineering student of course you can try any of the domains relevant in your particular discipline or engineering or you can do a cross discipline so for instance I am maybe a mechanical engineer I like electrical engineering you can actually do the courses in electrical engineering and you can get a domain from there so here nobody stops you and says hey you are in mechanical engineering department you cannot study electrical engineering say power systems course power electronics course you are not allowed to study that there is no such thing like that anybody can study any course as long as you can cope with it so you can also do a cross department study by doing domains from any of what is listed here this is what a domain certificate looks like we give this we list all the courses you have done and we sign it out of course from the specific IIT that we are giving it from so how do we do lab course this is it online not really we do it in the institutes we do it in various institutes such as ISRS IIT you can come here you can stay for a week at the institute you can do the lab experiments you can listen to faculty giving one or two lectures in the day and then do a lab exam and take a certificate so what is the advantage of this you will get to see really modern labs you will get to see what the state of the art labs are in these institutes you can see the equipment that is there the modern equipment that is there you can see the advanced research that is happening here you can interact and get explained on all this equipment so we had very successful labs being run at all these places this is a wonderful opportunity again if you do the theory course in NPTEL those people we will permit that you can apply and come for these lab certification courses and you can do the workshops here okay so that was the idea behind the question we asked you what else do we do at NPTEL this is for faculty in colleges so faculty in colleges under the AICT scheme we explicitly have an MOU with them where NPTEL advanced courses if you do and pass you will get an AICT approved FTP certificate so that is for faculty in AICT colleges for those under the UGC scheme they have given a broad guideline that if you do svayam courses there will be some career progression points but the actual logistics are not sure you will have to check within your sorry university so that is something that is there but we see that more than about 20-30 thousand faculty write our exams every semester and most of them apply for the FTP certificates also this is very very useful for faculty I will say because you don't have to spend money you don't have to take leave you don't have to miss the college work and go to some institute stay for a week or stay for 10 days and then do an FTP course you can do the FTP course online itself just like the students you join for free on svayam portal you go through the course submit assignments and then you pay the thousand rupees and attend the final exam and get your certificate once you get your certificate you can apply for the FTP certificate to us and get that too that's all it takes to do an FTP course with us today so this is very important for faculty I hope this is clear this is what the FTP certificate looks like you can see that it has the signature of the director from AICT also there is a regulation under which they have approved this the AICT logo is there so this you can present when you are going in for your promotion interviews right the conversion that they do is a four week NPTEL course is equivalent to half FTP of one week an eight week NPTEL course is a full FTP of one week and a 12 week course is equivalent to one and a half weeks FTP equivalent so this is the equivalence of it okay yes the next thing I wanted to talk about was gate coaching so we have started a new link on our website and somebody has given us CSR money for developing this and providing whatever I wouldn't call it coaching but yes gate preparation whatever we can help students with to have and prepare for gate exams free again we are trying to do from our side so you can go here and we have given solutions to all the previous gate questions we have given videos solving those questions we have extra questions that are coming up practice questions that will be coming up courses linking all the videos that are relevant to gate so we will be coming up phase one is only over phase two and phase three we will be coming up within the next six months so keep watching this link on NPTEL website if you are preparing for the gate exam okay that is one new initiative we have come up with the next initiative exams outside of India so till 2020 we were doing exams only in India where you have to go to a center and you have to write it and then we got a lot of requests from people outside of India saying they also study from NPTEL courses and they want to write exams with us so now we help to do that also people outside India can also write exams NPTEL exams and get certificates from us okay yeah so translation is the next effort so for people who are asking in what languages do we offer courses the faculty teach only in English for now but the English transcripts we translate into eight languages so we do Tamil Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada Hindi, Gujarati Bengali and Marathi so that is the languages that we are translating it into so Telugu we have a lot of transcripts that are translated into Telugu language so the faculty will talk in English but you can also read what we have translated in Telugu or Tamil or Hindi whatever is your language and you can understand it better we are keeping the videos in English so that you also learn English because when you go to work somewhere English will be the primary language you have to communicate in so this is something we are doing one or two courses we are getting in regional language for instance this time in January we are doing a machine learning course in Tamil language the faculty is going to teach in Tamil language there is a signals and systems course that is coming out in Hindi language in July semester we are getting an R programming course in Hindi language so only two or three we have most are in English we don't have too many other language courses so that's something you can check let me take a question from the chat there are one or two saying I am from commerce background I am from BCOM what courses we can take so for BCOM students we do have a lot of accounts related courses you can check those out go to management department I will show you how to filter and learn from it you can go there and you can see how to do it so you can check out management related courses in which we have accounts related commerce economics related courses that's something you can learn if you are learning all that anyway in your college I would strongly recommend programming courses for you learn at least one programming language to know what is programming how do people program whether you write the exam or not I would say please write the exam but yes even if you don't write the exam at least try a course do the assignment see whether you can do something about it or if you are not doing that I would propose the English courses I would propose the the German language or the Japanese course that you can learn from those are what we have quite a few for you to choose from I would say more than 100 we would have for BCOM level students at least okay yeah so these are translation how many courses we have in each language so in Telugu we have 48 courses that are translated for now so that's what we have right we have also something called special lecture series so we also have industry people who come in and present lectures so these are again free to watch very interesting topics very very distinguished people who come and present lectures these are vice president CEO CTOs of companies like IBM Capgemini Infosys that we've had in the past IAS officers who have come and spoken to us film directors who's come and spoken to us journalists in the Hindu a director at Hindu entrepreneurs so I would really say you should go and watch these lectures when you have time even if you missed it last year it's okay but listening to such people is very inspirational you know what they have done how they have worked how they have brought up new companies how they've started a company where did they get their idea from these are all really interesting to listen to I would say please go back and listen to some of these lectures it will give you a tremendous amount of information knowledge and maybe there'll be some topic to talk about also when somebody asks you something it will widen your knowledge base okay this is something that you can see and if you're wondering saying how many students study how many courses right maybe you think some students study only one or two courses and that's all we can do that's what is useful right look at this there is one learner who has done 47 NPTEL exams with us that's as good as a degree program or more than the degree program that all you're doing how many courses you'll do there I don't know maybe if you're doing a BSE it's a 6 into 6 maybe 36 courses or if it's a BTEC also if I say 6 courses per semester it's about 48 so he's an equivalent to that okay so there is one learner who's done 47 exams 34 exams 33 exams 32 exams and so on so you can see maximum people yes 5.6 lakhs do one exam but there are 1.4 lakhs who are doing two exams 48 thousand doing three and if you look up to 10 exams even right lot of them are doing 10 exams 8 exams with us so maybe you should think about and plan for how you're going to study which courses you're going to do as you are in college and every semester try to do at least one or two NPTEL courses and finish with a certificate that will be really nice that you can do that with your college okay this is something we wanted to say who are these people who are doing these courses they are employed they are faculty members they are students all people like you so it's not like these people come suddenly from somewhere or they are also special they are so privileged nothing like that they are there in all towns in all kinds of environment they also have their constraints but they are also studying from these courses and doing multiple courses okay this is what the certificate looks like it has the svayam logo and it has the okay it has the NPTEL logo this one then it has your photo on the certificate it has as you can see the elite tag the gold medal we have just put it here to say if you fall under these categories you can see all these coming on your certificate then the institutes of IIT Madras offers the course at the bottom where the institute logo and round this book you can see IIT Madras the logo there IIT Madras the name will be put there signatures from our site will come and so on so this is the way that you can see how the certificate looks we had 20 lakh people who joined our courses in January semester 20 lakhs who joined our July semester and in 2021 we had 16 lakhs who joined the Jan semester 16 lakhs who joined our July semester so it's not 5000 it's not one lakh like I'm seeing on the chat window here but it is 16 lakhs who was our enrollment number last semester out of these exams those who have written over the last 5 years it is 15.1 lakh people have registered for exams with us and they've gotten so our total enrollment in NPTEL today is 1.58 crores over the last 7 years and we are running this certification project we have finished 3500 courses almost and enrollment is 1.58 crores 15 lakhs exam registration that's the thing so you can see how big NPTEL is NPTEL is not something that we are doing 100, 200, 500 people or something like that every semester when we conduct exams in March and April it's 3 lakh people who write our exams so that's the level at which we do over the country in about 170 cities we conduct exams outside India like we said so this is our data so somebody tells you ok I haven't heard of NPTEL you should really tell them saying that 15 lakh people enroll every semester and 3 lakh people write exams how come you're missing out that's the answer I will give them ok you can see a lot of feedback about NPTEL on our social media handles we keep regularly posting about it we are present on Instagram on Facebook on YouTube community and you can see all the feedback that we have posted there about people who have gotten jobs people who have gotten through the soft skill training who have done our courses course feedback everything is available here so do subscribe to our social media handle so that you can get updates from our site ok I will just give a brief on NPTEL local chapter because I don't know how many of you are faculty from different colleges who are not a local chapter with us so NPTEL works with about 4,500 colleges today across the country and we have coordinators in each of these colleges who are called a single point of contact or SPOC and through them is how we are so successful so thanks to all the local chapter SPOC whoever is watching this workshop today was not watching the workshop today whoever is anywhere they are the champions for NPTEL within the colleges without them I don't think NPTEL would have grown so much so thanks to all the SPOCs of the local chapters and I would like to just briefly say how you can become a local chapter if there is somebody watching who is not in a local chapter so to become an NPTEL local chapter there is no money involved there is no financial dealing you just need to send us an email saying that you want to become a local chapter there is a google form in the website fill it up and we need a coordinator in your college who will be our local champion so the head of the institution the director the principal whoever has to send an email saying that we would like to become a local chapter and so and so will be the single point of contact for NPTEL and that's all once we receive the email we will verify some details and we will make you a local chapter so why should you become a local chapter can students and faculty from colleges who are not local chapters participate in NPTEL yes totally you can participate you can be a free learner you can learn from our courses without belonging to a local chapter but having a local chapter in a college is a big advantage there are logins that the single point of contact to the spark has one is a login on svayam portal one is a login on our NPTEL website and here they get information related to enrollment exam registration the marks the transcripts the certificates all of this is given to the spark directly that they can actually see and they can share with their management also the other benefits are if we don't have a center in your particular city you can request for that if they have more than 200 people writing exams we can facilitate centers in your particular city faculty can become mentors you can follow the progress of your students in the colleges that you can do another important thing I will say is we have CSR support from companies who also give us money to help students from economically weaker backgrounds to write exams so this fee waiver we give only to local chapters so if you are a local chapter and you have students who come from economically weak backgrounds if they are doing NPTEL courses writing exams once they pass it we will refund 50% of the fee to them based on the college's recommendation so that is something that you can do also all this data that we give to the spark can be directly shared with bodies such as NAC and NBF they come for accreditation and you can say that we are showing this data inside your dashboard that has also been very helpful for colleges is what we came to know these are local chapters that we have this is a state wise distribution I think Maharashtra is the highest followed by Tamil Nadu and of course we have these Telangana comes in maybe 7th position with 234 local chapters currently every semester we also we have some few local chapters outside of India and some countries they are not very active but yes they do keep using our courses as they can we also rate local chapters every semester based on the participation from their side in the particular semester so how many people have become toppers how many people have written exams how many people have you know done well based on it we also rank and rate the college local chapters and we publish this list publicly on our website every semester other interactions with local chapter people we do soft skill training like I already spoke about it we take help of people here to go to exam centres as our representatives faculty can help in translation efforts and yes like I said we rate it and we give recognition to the spark and the college also every semester so these are certificates that we give them based on the formula that we have to the college and the spark yeah these are other categories that we have on based on faculty participation based on how local chapters improve semester after semester there's a separate category for art science colleges also yeah star LC who have been in the top 10 or top 100 over the last four years that's something that we have done that's it as a presentation that we had today so I hope you learned about NPTEL about what we do here the NPTEL office the head office is in IIT Madras we have our head office here about 70 people work in NPTEL office in IIT Madras we have smaller offices in IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee IIT Gahati Bombay Delhi and ISC Bangalore also and we all work together to keep this project going it's one of the most successful inter institutional project that eight institutes come together to work on this project and kind of run it without a break and to kind of offer 2000 courses that we have today that's what we want to say so my suggestion and you can say maybe I'm old enough to advise all the young students out here also is try out NPTEL courses today go and go to Swayam website join a few courses learn from it sample the videos there you may or may not be able to follow certain videos you may not like certain courses maybe some courses are difficult it's okay you can drop off it is not like college course that once you join a course you have to be in that course you have to complete that course otherwise somebody will think something somebody will ask you something or maybe a paid fees that will get wasted there is nothing like that in an NPTEL course so you can join even five courses you can join even 10 courses and you can try out week one videos you can see what you're interested in and then shortlist it to maybe one or two courses follow it up see whether you're able to do assignments maybe it even comes down to one course in a semester but follow till the end do all the assignments watch all the videos register for the exam do the exam and become a talker in it I think that's something that is very very doable I hope you were able to get that message as we presented in the last one and a half hours that is what we were trying to tell you that don't be afraid that these courses are from IITs I cannot do it it will be very difficult there are 15 lakh people who have written exams with us so far it is not like all of them are coming out from IITs or they're all like very well accomplished they're all coming from highly studious background something like that they're also students just like you in any college what you need is the interest to study what you need is the motivation you have to put out time it is not like two days before the NPTEL exam let me study and get a certificate you will not get a certificate every week you have to watch videos every week you have to do the assignment then you can definitely get a certificate so you need hard work and it will pay off okay but it is not like I cannot do it there is no such thing as I cannot do an NPTEL course anybody can do an NPTEL course we showed you people from age 86 years doing NPTEL courses we showed you people from all nook and corners of the country doing NPTEL courses there is local language translation support of transcripts in some courses that will help you understand the subject better your faculty are there to help you if you do not understand something it will help you if you all join a course together discussion forum is there ask questions ask doubts if you have something there but try out and learn something which is outside of your college curriculum today when companies are looking for recruitment one of the things they see is okay your college degree is there apart from this what have you done that is something that all of them are looking at are you able to learn on your own are you able to study outside of college curriculum are you picking up any skills that are relevant for any job you might be trying for this is something that companies do look out for it's not just a resume saying BSE with this VA with this that might be one thing but then we look at okay what else what else what else that is something that all of us look out for when we are recruiting people so it might be good to have a few certifications to at least get your skills enhanced to learn what you're interested in to try and explore new opportunities that are there it is free there is no fee to learn you can download and watch the videos you can download and do the courses you can enroll in swine courses and do it only the final exam has a thousand rupees fee that also we are giving fee waivers if you're a local chapter so you can use that also you have to pay first get your exam done pass the course we will be able to help you with fee waivers on that front also so don't let money be a barrier don't let anything else be a barrier put in your time put in your effort learn from NPTEL get skilled and I hope you do much much better till then all the best and I hope that all of you do enroll to a course thank you thank you so much madam student is there any questions please put in chat
