 information security second one and it was based it was completely this hardware based it was good means it was good experience because I didn't have any basics about hardware and means this gave a new area to explore computer science the exam was it was it was not that tough not that easy it was a medium level exam and I enjoyed it use the forum quite well and the response that I got from the IITNs it was it was pretty good means whichever post whichever questions we used to post and we used to get a proper feedback I chose technical English it was easy the paper was easy and all the assignments together it was very good I'm doing the principles of human resource management course the exam was okay done well hoping for the best results the good thing is the mod of study materials given but the bad thing I felt is the delay which we got during the availability of PPD's I attended all the assignments got an okay marks with it but felt a little bit tensed about the answers during the assignments confused with answers actually while checking the PPD's and while checking the social networking medias and all these things get confused with answers actually I got placed in the Infosys and I would like to do up with the HR management department so I trained myself to do it doing the MBA in human resource management and this is Shri Khan and we all are from SSN Engineering College we came to this exam for our regarding our placement because basically from chemical engineering we need some certification courses that's why you came we attend a MATLAB course we don't attend online session but we attend the we listen the entire lecture and finally totally like 10 to 15 members in our department came to write the online course is good and it would be better if the solutions provided are more detailed like for MCQ's only the answers are given instead if you give more detailed solutions it would be better I've joined for basics of bias optics and scanning electron which was really informative we had a lack of time so that we couldn't complete the full course time for assignment have to be somewhat increased we need answers for every assignments answers if we request they are sending us answers but then if they give their answers for every assignments it will be easy for us to review we had problem in taking call tickets I'm working as assistant that questions easy okay it's not related to my data success they ask that questions later to see programming I studied so many things in data success I didn't any questions from data success but anyway it's a good thing so I informed my students also they are saying that this is a good thing so much so many things will be there in video tutorials they understood so many things from your tutorials I'm taking the program data success this semester I informed to see all the videos because I'm teaching but anyway they didn't understand no then again I'll say to them can go and check all the things and I gave all I downloaded all the videos I give it to them I get good feedback from them your videos all things will be very good this course was really informative and useful this is a course which is not included in all the subjects and all the courses I have taken project planning and control this was really effective and useful I think this will help me in my career and in my placements regarding actually now I'm doing my third year civil engineering I thought I have principles of management I thought that course will be included but only the first two lessons was included in your course project planning and control this is a fourth fourth year subject that is seven semester subject but I took initiative and my teachers my staffs took initiative to teach me and they taught me the lessons all the lessons which are coming in ME subject also and this is a very useful and a new experience for me good things is all you have given all the notes in our compared to other subjects and other courses you have not given text versions and all but regarding my course and my subject we have given text versions so that is very useful for me even I missed the class I can cope up with the notes afterwards later so it is no negative only positive comments are there because our department and our project advisor also was very effectively giving us notes and PPTs and he was just teaching in in a normal manner as if we are learning in a class it was very live to learn the examination center would be near to my location because I was in Vellesh city so I have to come here it took three three and a half hours for me to come there from here and again I have to go back they didn't give me any option and all they gave me the hall ticket as such what is your center like that and they didn't give any option for me to select they gave they have given only the specific location to select that is Chennai through Vellore like that they have given so I have opted Chennai Vellesh city so but my center is here I have no other go after I attend my exam so it'll be better if it is near to us and many students are not knowing about your course actually it is not that that much reachable to students in our college our teachers came and told me I'm from Vells University Palawram our staffs came and told us even we were not aware of that only our staff told us so it'll be better if you do some of the choices so that students can be aware of all these things workshop will be better and in the end of sessions in the workshops you can give a brief lecture about these courses offered so that students will be known about those things I'm coming from Aram Kenjiro College the course I applied for is fundamentals of electronic devices and materials the course structure and everything was interactive it was quite useful for taking up these exams in taking the higher studies and taking some major of major field of study it will be useful we can find out in which field we are interested using these exams now giving the centers can be quite nearby to cities because this is too far away from the city so that's it nothing other other things are quite health research fundamentals which is basically full-on-full comprised of health research only it's a good active process also not most of them doesn't know about health research in the medical field this will be more enthusiastic and from many doctors not to know what is the research process in this field it's an easy for me it was not very hard or something that's very good even for working professionals and who can spend that one time for learning through his course and the exam framework was also good since the assignments were all based on only on the work they have been teaching in the pamphlet store and the videos so it was very easy for me some some from the group discussions I've learned that some of the doctors doesn't even understand the term terminologies on the research and this would be very much entertaining to know these terminologies especially when the part of research when it comes to the research in the form of research or any statistical packages like that we are working on any national stuff of the module programming in the somewhat important programming languages so I like that exam was somewhat difficult not average first of all it's a great initiative by the IITs to come here and conduct a test for us so that many of the people get benefited because most of them cannot get admission in IIT but personally thank the IIT management for conducting this type of exam for to the benefit of the other people's everyone but only thing is that if the centers are within the city's Chennai city it'll be very useful because we had to travel nearly two or three hours to come here I wrote scanning and optical electron it was like not I didn't prepare too much but still I could manage I'm doing the material science engineering I was interested in this topic so I just googled it and learned about this I even I was surfing something and I just I used to see the videos for my lab for my college syllabus thing I told my friends and even they are doing because assignments are like so easy basically if we listen to the class it's more than enough we need not do any special homework and all if we listen to classes carefully we can easily do the assignments and even the final examination was not too bad I think it's good so far I really enjoyed the NPTEL like it's the second time actually I'm appearing for NPTEL online exam was really good experience but the thing is this particular examination center is very far from the like main city so it's difficulty traveling to like two hours so it's the only I can give some suggestions about websites what I observed is like sometimes professor may miss make some mistakes in one lecture then he finds out that there is some mistakes then he corrects in the next lecture until we go to the next lecture it's sometimes surprises us so okay that one point I want actually I regularly take online courses in also in Coursera website so what they do there is on while it is like you see in YouTube the annotations they will pop up in the video but the embedded video which they upload in the YouTube there is no they are not actually adding any annotations I mean it would help like if by chance they found out they may add that kind of and so that they can find I mean particularly in this course I've missed at one point like this happened the next lecture professor corrected that particular mistake and the second thing I would like to say like there should be like slides provided at every lectures thing is once the like sometimes some lectures are becoming very descriptive like whatever the mathematical flow happens that they they have to explain every bit and the video is also actually taking time which is actually not much necessary in most of the cases so if they provide slide basically we can refer it because not all that people are availing I mean legally the books so so slides would really help firstly I am away from VIT Chennai first year from computer science branch I reached I registered for NPTEL exam on data structure and programming firstly I I didn't say that this will be a useful exam then I I saw that they are uploading videos lectures then I saw them and found that these are the very very very important and very very useful I practice on them and and implement the program C programs on myself then I I got confidence and I mostly like like the teachers style of teaching like professor Shankar Balchandran is very good teacher in CS I like him since I am from college first year college also gave more assignments practice problems so I feeling and feeling not not so much comfortable for doing this assignment but I I I get a little time for doing these assignment and then solve the job and the exam was somewhat tough we have to improve we have to we have to learn more programming then only we can attend the exam very well some what it is in the middle and even I don't have time to go through every all the sessions I have attended one of these few sessions I don't have time to attend all the nine courses in the middle either I have it something so I think it's my mistake but it can be improved it was easy only all from that eight weeks whatever they thought they just experimented with that design and analysis of algorithms was really nice I learned a lot about that subject and there were more things they gave us assignments so that we could learn more about it and actually they tested everything in the exam basically I didn't know how to ask questions in the forum like maybe I found it difficult programming assignments were a bit tough quizzes and organize in my department there were little people but my college totally many had participated like nearly some hundred I feel much happy to attend this exam some way to actually I'm in field of research health research so again I reached my knowledge way writing this exam it's about the introduction to spectroscopy by professor Krishna Manga Sundar the course was a 20-hour course the course was very nice he told a lot of things I think it is a continuation of chemistry one but I did quantum mechanics course on by Balakrishnan so it was helpful for me to do this course I mean I had the prerequisites so I was able to do this I wanted to shift my major from electrical engineering to physics and I had to gain certain credit points so I thought of doing NPT listen give us credit points but it's something equal to that right I'm currently studying electrical engineering final year in Rajesh Mejwani College what is the course is amazing IT process I did not use the forums but a lot of people ask their ask doubts and professors and professors responded to the doubts immediately as soon as possible I think that every time you conduct a course please keep at least one course on every subject for example certain times you keep a lot of course was as to physics sorry arrows aeronautical engineering a metallurgical engineering for example this time there were a lot of course in analytical engineering and biotech but very few courses in other departments that's what I think second time I'm writing NPT exams this time I did introduction to boundary layers I think the course I acknowledge in terms of the knowledge I gained from this course it was very good but the only problem I felt was the assignments and the forum they were not as in the assignments have not been corrected yet as in the first week's assignment have not been corrected yet okay so so it actually becomes a little difficult to analyze what mistakes we've made in terms of that as I mean in that aspect I think this course was a little lagging behind Dr. Renku Mukherjee okay so that was a little difficult and the forum also I mean there are a lot of doubts posted but then the replies were not prompt so that was one thing I felt that could have been better in this course apart from that the examination was good the difficulty was average not too difficult not too easy I think it was good my name is Swasant I'm studying in Guru Nanak College BSc Physics I came through NEPTEL in Shastra which is organized in IIT which I went on January so I enrolled in NEPTEL courses the knowledge wise this is very good but the examination center was very too far I'm in Tamaram more than 30 30 kilometer I'm coming to write the exam so in the timings 2 to 5 also we can take in mornings like 9 to something and the center could have been in IIT Madras or something nearly it is very nice the way they are framed the Christian paper and they were conducted so very comfortable very nice improvement I think they need to define some some percentage of marks during the during the course to decide to allow which people to go for the exam or not I'll be better because they are I think they are allowing all the people and again might compromise the quality they could set some something like some score in that stage so people might take it up seriously course was some good the teacher taught us very good I feel like it was very good in informative for the students to explore new things with the online courses and all so I feel it good and even after the exam also exam I also felt it was a little bit kind of deviation from the lectures online lectures but it was okay I'm from SRA Engineering College studying civil engineering I saw in newspaper about this program NPTEL and I registered in project planning and control and then my assignment are doing seeing all these videos today I came to like this exams so forum is helpful for clearing my doubts my teacher who taught that project planning control course is very wonderful I'm actually a student with the aeronautical society of India and I just took up a course with NPTEL for airplane performance I've already taken up a course before and that was digital circuits I was not too happy with the the questions which they had posted it was quite easy for the quality of IC but this time it was pretty good they've improved quite a lot and the quality is also gone up so I'm quite happy with the course so it was quite challenging as well the assignments were good they were also challenging it wasn't like previously how it was it was very easy they didn't even have assignments before but now they have assignments which is pretty good and they're also quite challenging I this time I was thoroughly surprised it was very good I don't think there is anything you guys can improve one right now it was very good probably if you could have the centers a little closer to the city that would help because it's a Sunday and people have to travel a long distance and on Sundays so it gets a little tight in tiring that's only thing I'm already taking up about two more courses with NPTEL and I'm going to write the exam next month I'm Sultana we have attended the project planning and control okay all it's a short term course but still we have learned many lots of things about it already we are going a civil engineering course but it is I mean it is completely related to our course but what we learned in our class it's not we are learning this in the class it's completely different from that so we have learned something knowledge gainable so these things helped us in learning a new thing about it so I mean while doing our higher studies it'll be much more useful for us we are doing our undergraduate courses now so while doing our masters it will be much more useful for us but in any way did it affect your regular there are plenty of time to look into the videos and then do our assignments much time was given for the completion of assignments few examples we couldn't understand clearly much clearly and effectively so we haven't used that program we haven't used I mean discussion you use the forum but it will reply definitely within 48 hours or 20 hours and even if you can request the faculty for an online interactive session you can watch that online interactive session even on your mobile phone you can ask questions on your mobile phone and faculty will be able to answer them okay then we will do any other course that you are planning after I tell you this I mean next semester we'll be planning I think so now we have no share because it was up to the standard think it was really nice I'm not from a very good college I don't know to mention the name but there it's just about by hearting and writing but I learned how to apply my knowledge here because of this course and then it was a bit tough to manage both academics and this but I don't think anything can be done about that it was quite okay my professor was quite good the forum was quite interactive anything that was supposed to was responded immediately I think only once I wasn't able to submit my assignment but I think everyone had a problem and the date was postponed immediately so the only thing I found difficult was I couldn't come here today travel was very difficult quite interior maybe if I come here the second time I'll find it easily but the first time it's really tough to come the route not many people I was actually dropped somewhere else and then they said come here I already came late it came only at 145 so that was a bit tough PDS program and data structure it's not easy not stuff it's in middle you have to prepare a lot your structure is very good and we should put effort a lot in that we attend almost 8 assignments I attend 7 I miss and RMD engineering college I think so two departments are attending today one for PDS and another department for DAA I am Vedant Venkatesh of Weltek University study second year I already took this exam before of computer science CS programming last year very helpful we can learn new things apart from academic schedule and other curriculums and so certificates are provided after completion of this exams are valuable for job opportunities and also this time I took for different subject technical English and next time I will try different it is very good and it should be increased we want to I also want that there should be of HTML web page designing should be included in next we can take time it is just like wasting so much time so we can make useful in that time so I am just managing it very helpful it was very nice they conducted very nicely we had no problems
