 I'm Abdullah Bahacetin Er. I'm from Turkey. I'm a mechanical engineer. I've been working for two years in Turkey. I heard this course on internet. I was searching something on internet and I found it and a course did warn me. I'm interested to this topic and I decided to roll and I rolled and 30 months has passed and now I'm here. This did look very best and user-friendly and it had online self-ticated exam and the lessons, the lectures were very good and very easy to reach on YouTube and that's it. The course tracker was very good actually. The teacher was very good. Excitements are good. The most attractive thing for me is this program held by IIT. This is the most interesting thing for me. It will be more combined for foreigners. I had very difficulties reaching here and feeling the registration form but you have a very good, very great sports team. They helped me a lot. I'm here because of, today I'm here because of them. That's all. Especially, I'm a mechanical engineer but it has very wide disciplines. I can take course of aerospace, electrical engineering or construction engineering. It's very wide and I'm really interested in them but I will see what I need and I will enroll one of them, I think. We had our college preparation also. We saw all the assignment questions. We did not give our best in this. Hopefully next time at least we'll give our best because this time I couldn't see all the videos and all. I saw almost everything but for few lessons I had to see only the assignment questions so I didn't have much time. Other than that, the way they taught us was very different apart from college. They taught in a different way so I liked the course actually. Only for this course I prepared. Maybe next time I'll know what to do. It was really very useful and they taught us very neatly and in a bigger way and a different way also so it was nice. What was the course you attended? I took civil engineering so I took structural analysis course and design of reinforcement concrete. I prepared well but still with that nervousness to say. Okay, I'm J Sree working as assistant professor in SR University and now I'm going to write design of reinforced concrete structures in civil engineering. Good preparation, good course. I'm a professor in the department of civil engineering in Hindustan University. I'm taking a course on structural analysis. This is the first time I'm writing design. Yes, yes. What about you? First time sir. First time I'm coming in. What was the course you were writing? Controls engineering. I prepared well. I don't know how to. What was the course? It's very nice. It's very easy for us. It's my one of my subjects in Anayana which is a syllabus so it's very easy for my preparations also. I hope it was for the exams. The cloud computing exam. I went through the materials. It seems to be very helpful. I'm hoping that exam will be good. You were studying or working? I'm working in Satyabhama University as a faculty. I'm from Satyabhama University and I'm going to write this NPTEL exam for industrial biotech. It was very much, very, very useful. People who are willing to go on this field, like work in this field, it's very, very useful for them. The lecture material which was provided was very helpful for us to prepare at the last minutes. Overall, the course, whatever they have given and whatever they have taught, it's very, in easy manner, we can able to understand very easily. Good evening one and all. I'm Dr. Raveen Ash, Australian Professor, Department of English Satyabhama University. Actually, Satyabhama University introduced us this particular course, NPTEL. We don't know what is it. They motivated us to do that. And I chose History of English Literature and Soft Skill. And we recommended this particular course to all of our students. Nearly this particular venue comprises of around 1,500 students of India. Almost all the students of Satyabhama University are writing this particular NPTEL course. Last month, we had a course, morning session, evening session, everything. Entirely, we are doing a great thing. But this NPTEL has conducted the session in a wonderful way. We have never expected that the assignments are so good. We have never expected that the lectures and the way the exams were conducted were so professional. We never expected all these things there. All the students were also shocked. When we come across online examines, we took it lighter in the beginning. But later on, when the assignment marks and the dates and the results, when it goes on, assignment marks, internal, external, people started talking about NPTEL. And this particular course became so famous in all the aspects. So great work done by NPTEL. And all the institutions have, this has become an eye-opener for all the institutions. Why don't we conduct a course like NPTEL? That's what is the question by all the institutions. So most of the institutions, I take this as a great opportunity. So the great thing done by NPTEL, all the best for your future endeavors. Thank you. It's really good. It's the same way. Like, the paper was a little bit easy this time. But it's quite nice. Like, new subject, new thing, like cloud computing I had. It's all nice. Nothing more than that. Yeah, it's fine. But I was expecting much more harder. Like, it's too easy. And like, in 90 minutes we have completed the paper for 180 minutes. So it was quite frustrating, boring also. Because we studied a lot for that thing. But the last time also 90 minutes and this time also 90 minutes. Now maybe I'll try for the like new phases, like machine learning and AI, all these kind of scenarios. Because now these are only basics part. Now I'll go for their preliminaries and other prerequisites of this. Oh, this wonderful experience. And especially for me, we are in the consultant. I'm in the consultancy field. In fact, I chanced upon this opportunity. I'm basically a mechanical engineer working as a consultant with the German multinational. We are into power plant and infrastructure, water. So we are in India for the last 25 years. Incidentally, I was working as a lenders engineer for one of the Solid Waste Management Facility in Mumbai. And the project was getting completed and I chanced upon this NPTEL and Dr. Dubey was conducting this Solid Waste Management program. Actually, it was wonderful. And because being a mechanical engineer having to see this facility coming up in Mumbai, I was there for two years, I was monitoring this. And I could see the theory portion of the formal way of understanding Solid Waste Management. It was wonderful. It's a good initiative by IT. The best portion I liked is the practical concepts that Dr. Dubey brought in. Dr. Dubey was the professor from IT Karakpur who was conducting this. So he had brought in a lot of his experience to make the course very, very lucid manner. People can understand. And case studies? A lot of case studies. The only thing is I thought probably the numericals but when you work on Excel and when you work on calculators I find a big difference is coming. Probably that have to be validated. All the numericals is my, for example, two digits. There is possibility that two answers can be close. So I personally feel that the numericals, especially in the examination, probably it should be validated. This is my opinion. I may be wrong. Because I was getting a couple of answers close. But fine. That's just feedback. But otherwise, it's a wonderful program. It was a very nice exam. So when we have to go interview, they will ask how much you are land. So based upon this exam was very nice. We did well. This is a certificate exam. So very nice. I have written about Internet of IOT. IOT I have written. The course is very new today. It's very interesting. We learn the course in online and write the exam. We update ourselves. As I am working as a faculty, I am getting updated every course by doing every course. I do every course in every semester. So new, new courses are coming. We are getting more knowledge from the courses. Writing in the online is very easy. The location for the exam center is very easy to locate. It's very good. For every week, they are getting the feedback and they are rectifying it. If there are any problems, we correlate with the Google Main Nothing. They are immediately rectifying it. There are no issues. So immediately they are solving the problem and we are getting rectified about it. See, myself Kumar. I am working as a consultant in private concern. I have taken up graph theory. So it was quite good. This will be my sixth education I am doing here. So the material course content is really good. So from IOT, right? It's really good. I am basically looking for working experience. So this bridge brings in a lot of value to me. What would be the nice aspect of the integral course that you like? The constant learning. They give assignments and then keep engaged throughout the month or 12 weeks time. So that's really good. More practical kind of stuff. It's more theory. I need to go to the material for practical experience. It's more into a theoretical part. Maybe more lab work should add more value. Too good sir. Actually what all we had the same came in the answer sheet sir. I am using internet of things sir. IOT. How was your learning experience? Learning was too good sir. Then classroom learning this was far better sir. I think this was very useful for my B. My cumbersome scores I think it exists. Explode my knowledge. This was the interaction of IOT. I guess through this I got more wide coverage of what is IOT. And using it I explored several technologies in cumbersome engineering. It was very vague concept. So it was difficult to learn online. Still I made it through. This was very technologically forward in terms of what I am currently learning in my cumbersome engineering. There is obviously difference between learning through an online and having someone teach in person. So there was a difficulty in learning in online. Like if we get doubts it was very hard for us to clarify with teachers or faculty. There was a forum right? There was a forum but I guess there was not constant replace for questions or queries for the students. Based on online I guess there is nothing else to do. This is already fine. What's your next course that you think that you can do? Next course I don't have anything ready for next plan. If next topics come I will do it. Industrial Vaticanology. It was really good. I think I gained a lot of knowledge and I thought it would be more of a much easier and all. But it was very competitive. I really liked it. The course material was really good. I liked the videos. The content was very nice. I liked the course. It was really good. The assessment was really good. Probably that enhanced my ability to write the exam. My course is biotechnology. This is industrial biotechnology. I think almost 80% similarity was there. Assignments. It was really nice. The videos were also really good. Very informative. I liked the professor who talked about the course and it was nice. I liked it. I have done introduction to Internet of Things. I would like to thank Dr. Sudeep Mishra because his course content was very nice. He has given a lot of information to us. So really programming part as well as the basic things. All information he has given to us. And the question paper was quite moderate. Human disease development. Very nice and very skillful and very knowledgeable. What is the best part that you like in the Internet of Things? They are giving assessments and everything. And you like the certificate part of it or you like the content part of it? Certificate. Internet of Things. The course was very good. All the materials were very useful for us for taking classes. Actually I am a faculty. It was very useful for me for taking classes to my students also. And the exam center is very good. Easily approachable. And the test was also conducted very nicely. I am a secondary mechanical student. Actually this exam is conducted by IIT only. I am an university student. Some of the things what we cannot understand or what we cannot study in another city. We can study based on this course. It is actually a remote course only how it happens. Weekly there will be a lecture. It is a video lecture. So there will be five topics covered every week. Five or six. Based on that the exam also will be conducted on that. And it is an online course. So every week we will be having an assignment at the end of each week. So based on those assignment and assignment mark and the final exam mark will be calculated. So we will get the certificates based on those books. This is the first time I am taking an online exam. Did it match your syllabus? Yeah. I am a mechanical engineer. It is more related to that. It is related. A manufacturing process. I don't know. I don't remember. Actually this was my good experience. I took this. I did my exam e-business in NPTL. And it was a new experience for me. And it was kind of easy. It was easy only. And I have read. Like it was what was there in the video. They were sending it. And it was that only thing. It was regarding. So it was easy for me. Everything was easy and I did my every assignment. Actually I have learned many things. Like which I never knew it. And when I was accessing and I got many ideas about it. So I am doing my MBA and I got many ideas for this. I did cloud computing. It was more similar to the previous paper which I did. I took up the course because it is correlated. How are you able to manage two courses? Like my present semester it has both the papers. Like I have cloud computing at college and also here. So I thought it would be useful for me. Yeah I have written BI Beta. Industrial Biotechnology. It's nice and I have written all the questions. What I know. It's from the assignment only. The questions are asked from the site. Was it effective and very informative? Will it match what you are learning in the group? Yes totally. How many of your friends are there? More than 40 members. So the learning experience of NPTEL is very good sir. Because the materials that video lectures are very good by the IAT professors. And also the exam centres it's very good. They have well planned. So all the things are done very well. Previously in the first start of the syllabus itself they have given entire content. So it's easy for us to go through all the contents. So it's matched with all the contents only. It was arranged well. It is easy and comfortable. I have done human resources development related to MBA. Everything was well structured. You got so many inputs from the courses and the material which was delivered by them. The exam was good. Like I told you the last time I am glad I am able to do the courses because I needed it. I had not done computer science in my undergrad and I want to pursue masters now. So that was the reason. How many certificates do you have? Two. Is it the third one or the second one? This is the fourth one. I gave two exams today. And I gave two the last time. So the last courses that I did I felt like I needed a little more teacher interaction. Probably personal interaction. And these ones I did not. They were maybe more straightforward than the other two courses that's why. But otherwise the forum is enough for us to be able to ask questions and all that. So that's not a problem. And what's the next course that you are planning to do? Machine learning and artificial intelligence. Control engineering. The exam was very good. The questions were tough but they did well. They have been in the class and in the college. There were 8 lectures in a month. We got some training after seeing that. They were doing well in the IT lectures. That's why English is a little bit difficult. They study in Tamil media. They are all a little bit difficult. What are the equations for? That's all the problems. It was good actually. This is my first experience. Very nice. It's a software testing. With a child then how were you able to study? Since the assignments they gave it was according to our convenience. So it was pretty easy for me to cope up. Any difficulties that you felt about accessing the lectures? No, no, no. It was good. It was pretty good. At Tinder Integrated Solid Based Management. For a smart city. Compared to Align new city syllabus he thought it was very easy. The syllabus is very easy. It was something easy there than the syllabus. The syllabus is actually very bookish. But the course is like practically what we are doing. Globally what we are expecting. The course was selected so it was very easy to learn. It's actually obviously very fine. Arrangements everything they have done very nicely. You might be a faculty. Yeah, I am a faculty. Yeah, it was useful for us. This is my first time I am attending. Experience was very fine because we had some expectation that the arrangements would be done everything. But apart from that everything was fine. Whatever I expected everything we have done. I have did network systems. I think it will be useful. I have done my best. This course is second for me. I have wrote a programming in C++ last September. And this time I wrote network and system. Yeah, I took up industrial biotechnology course. I am currently studying in Anna University my second year. It was very useful like how it is digitalizing. The current fund is digitalizing and we have to learn more. Previously we used to study from libraries, books. And now it has come in video lectures which are much easy to study. Thank you NPTEL for that. When you say industrial biotechnology, definitely you are missing about the practical part of it. Yeah, practical section of it. But part of the practical section involves the growth of microbes and those kinds of things. But anyway we are able to learn a lot about how they genetically engineer organisms and much about industries. How the fermentation part takes part. Beer industry, lactic acid industry. Those kinds of things. More of theoretical part. Practical part is just a small thing in that. But the theory is more important because there are different processes and based on the industry which you are performing you need to select the perfect process for it. So there is a lot of theory involved in it rather than practical part.
