 to write the NTPL exam and my course was HRD, Human Resource Development. The exam was fine since because I had completed all the assignments it was cool and easy for me. Since I am doing MBA and my major specialization is HR and France it will be an added advantage for me and I am doing my final year so it will add a weightage for my certificates. Hello everyone, my name is Nazar Mohamal. I am actually not from India. I am an international student. I came to India for studying and I have come to know about MPL through my friends and my colleagues and it is actually a very nice initiative from the government of India to increase knowledge and to increase very good initiative. I like it very much. Certification is very useful for me because it enhances my employment rate and it introduced me to various knowledge areas and overall experience is very good. Myself Lukas and I am from DG Vaishnava College. The exam is really very good and we can gain more knowledge and we can be more talent by writing this exam and this exam is really very good and I gained a lot of knowledge and the Swine Online exam, the Swine Online courses is really very good and I think the certificate will help me in my future in my careers and it will help me in my future. Hi, my name is Harshavina. So I am here after completing my NPTEL examination. So I took my course in the core of my biotechnology field and I got to know about this through my college faculty members. So the overall examination was easier and I had to just go through my assignments and the video lectures which had been very useful for my UG course and I completed the examination and I feel that it will be definitely an add-on to my career. I am Ilan Goh. I am working as a faculty in VAT Chennai campus. I came to know about NPTEL through our VAT university. I have taken this course Engineering Graphics and it was a new experience attending the assignments and facing the final exam and the exam was conducted in a nice manner in this COVID situation by following all the safety instructions. Good morning myself Vijay Krishna. I am working as an assistant professor in SRM University Katangulathur campus. So for this NPTEL exam I took the course Thermal Processing of Food. So obviously through our college we know that NPTEL is conducting various type of courses. So through that I have registered. The course was very informative. The question also very useful and it also helpful for me in future scope like research. The question pattern today what which I have attended also very expected one. It is combination of both numerical and theory. Whatever the course teacher have taught the same pattern has came here. The two things I want to suggest that I was coming from Uggapay. So I felt little bit far away. So that can be taken consideration. So near to my situation Ananagar or Ambatur it will be more feasible for me. And second problem what I faced is that that calculator when I used that lawn operation or that calculator little bit I faced that problem that can be avoided. Registration and payment process everything is very smooth. In discussion forum also I raised few questions that was answered within a week itself. The only thing is exam center is far away and that calculator I was facing problem today. I am M.K. Tiwasavan. I am doing this NPTEL online course Dyself Circuits for my college credits. And the course was a little bit moderate to tough. I prepared well for the exam. I thought they might see some assignment questions and theoretical ones. But there was mostly only problematic ones. We have to calculate and it took some time for that. So I think that there have to be some theoretical questions. And the question paper was fine. It was not that tough. I am doing this for my credits and also very useful as I am studying electronics and communication. Dyself Circuits is very basic for my course. So I am doing that. Okay. So I enrolled for course the space flight mechanics. So my name is Karthik Narayan. I am pursuing final year mechanical engineering in Sastra University. So I came to know about this course through college itself. It is course for Honours course. So I am doing for extra credits. Thank you. The course was useful. NPTEL videos was useful. And I gained knowledge than I know already. Thank you. The registration process payment was smooth and no interruption was there. I am Yashwantyam from Sastra Deepthi University. I have enrolled for the introduction to internet of things course from NPTEL. I had to do this course because it is part of the Honours track which is there in my college. So once I finish this four such courses, I will be able to gain the Honours degree from my college. So the course was overall informative. It was just an introductory course. So nothing bad about the course. So the course was overall fine. And then the exam was also easy. That is why I was able to complete within the time. And then overall was a good experience. Regarding the portal, the portal could be improved a little bit because the portal is quite slow. So whenever we click on each week, the videos or the assignments, it takes a lot of time to load. And at times it does not load at all when there is a huge traffic. So the portal could be improved a little bit. And also we need to sign in every time we access something. So it gets signed out automatically very often. So that could be improved. Live sessions are quite informative. So we had, I think, three live sessions or something. So that was sufficient. So my name is Manas. I am a second year in Triple IDM Kanjipuram. I enrolled myself for Joy of Computing Python. This course was recommended by our college. It was mandated by college so that people will be more fluent in programming languages and it will be helpful for them in the future. Regarding the course, the course was very good. I personally liked it. The faculties for FMIIT Bombay and all of FMIIT faculties, they thought really well. The lectures were informative. None of them were repetitive. And assignments were also very thoughtful. Overall, the course was very good. And it will be a very good beginner course for anybody hoping to learn Python or any other programming language. Portal is slow because a lot of people are trying to access at the same time. I don't think it can be improved any time, but still it's fine. They are doing the best. Live sessions have not been a part of any live session before, but the discussion firms are active. Faculty answers your question if you ask them as soon as possible. Myself Priya. I am doing my research in commerce. My guide only suggested to do this NPTEL exam. So I have selected HRM paper. It was quite easy. And still they can improve in case of video session. Still it can be better. Like weekly assignments I have completed. Content still they can develop. Content it's not clear. Not like that. We are not getting time to win through the videos. So through PPTs also still they can have some ideas. My name is Kiran Mai. Studying in SRMC and I am taking a technical psychology course. This is electives for us to select a one topic. So I took this from the college itself. So I am interested in psychology of language and as well as stress management. So it's better. It's better and it's very useful. And it's like para for a long time for my course. So I took this. Hi, my name is Saran and I am coming from Venkateshwara College of Engineering. And I have registered for the course Digital Circuits. And I came through this. I came about this course through my college and the exam was I will not say easy, but it was average. Actually I was not opting for this course, but my college insisted me to run this course and take the Digital Circuits examination. And I hope that this subject will be helpful for me to get any improvements in the career and so on. Do not upload my ID please. I faced an issue and took like a 4 to 5 years and then I finally solved it. My name is Nalin Bharati. I am a final year student at Shastra University. The course I took this time is Introduction to Japanese Language and Culture. I came to know about this course through my college and I did this course as a part of my college's open elective. And it was a very good experience because I was always interested in learning Japanese, but I did not know how I could do so. So by enrolling in this course, I could get a good starting point to where I could learn Japanese more. Actually it is useful because apart from my interest, this course has also been a part of my college's open elective. So it has helped me finish a course, a 4 credit course. And also I feel like before I take the actual Japanese N5 exam, this certification might give me confidence. Only thing if I had to say a bit long I guess. For a week, we had almost 4 hours of videos to watch. So that might be a little difficult for people who are not like very focused or determined to do the course. But the quality of the videos was good. I feel that I felt that test was quite challenging actually compared to the assignments. The assignments were quite easy. So I feel that maybe the assignments could be made more difficult or we could be provided some kind of sample papers. Japanese has this part called Kanji. So those were not given much importance in the assignments, but here in the test we got quite a few questions from them. So people who haven't actually been preparing for that and they have kept preparation in mind with respect to the assignment may have found it a bit difficult. So myself, I am doing my psychology master degree and I found NPTEL course was very useful for the students who acquiring knowledge other than their core papers. Also I came to know about this NPTEL from our college as they wanted to do an elective course with the NPTEL support. So we chosen NPTEL course as a 4 week and 8 week courses and I think lots of duration courses and also more programming courses also available in the sites. And I took body language and psychology of language as a 4 week and 8 week course and it was quite interesting and I found videos and PPTs all the content was clearly explained by the tutors. Content of the thing can be reduced I think because as a 4 week course I know because 4 week class should comprise of at least some amount of basic knowledge I know. But it feels little bit more during 8 week courses it feel it comprises with more amount of stuff into the subject because this was the first time I am entering this NPTEL exam. So I didn't face any kind of difficulties and also registering and payment office also selecting of courses and selecting of centers was everything was fine. The thing the centers can be near the city sites I feel because people are from various hostelers have felt difficulties from our college because they have been due to this pandemic situation they aren't really in the cities in the same area they have been went to the same area where they have been edited. So they face lot of difficulties to come over here and choose different centers where should be doing the center something. So find the centers can be in more of near by city areas I feel and also no payment issues and it was very clear once the payment done everything was clear and no refund or any kind of difficulties and also a mail was being intimated every time through mail every kind of information was being gathered it was really effective and also regarding the examination I find you can be they give us a kind of what kind of questions you are asking like pattern of paper can be told before that because it will be useful to prepare for our examinations either it's a MCQ or a PHIMA because I felt some of the people went through PHIMAQ and TUMAQ questions in the last moment they felt very difficult to face those questions before if you are intimating it will be useful for the preparation purpose thank you. Hi myself Saravanan Jay and I am working as assistant professor in Veltek University actually this session I have registered couple of courses today I was writing patent search for engineers and lawyers so actually I am in the perseverance of domain certification regarding patents in management domain so that's what that's why I chose that particular course this session. Yes actually regarding faculty member it's being a very much important scenario for getting certifications especially that too in our own domain and very much required concepts it seems a great thing being a part of NPTEL student community and it helps me a lot actually so because research is all about getting know about the new things on a regular basis so I see these courses on those lectures as opportunity to know about the new new happenings in the domain. NPTEL actually I started referring NPTEL while my PG but I didn't know about online certification courses at that time so after joining as assistant professor only I came to know about NPTEL online courses so especially of course I am regular you know watcher of those websites so I came to know directly from NPTEL websites only. Yes actually while comparing MOOC platforms we need to talk about the quality of the videos especially because in a parallel session we are seeing a Coursera platform as well and NPTEL platform also so when I need to compare these two there is a lot of attitude adjustment is required from the learner side in case of why NPTEL is not like Coursera so yes that would happen but it's on the way I am hoping but apart from that regarding NPTEL alone certain courses are simply having very lengthy videos that was the major concern for me so the video length might get adjusted no matter how many videos that we are having per week but the length of video makes serious about committing into the course till last. Yes assignment part it's fine so we actually since being a faculty it's tight schedule for us to cope up with couple of courses at a time so we would allocate a particular day or date before the due date so that to carry out assignment as a group activity along with our colleagues with whatever courses that we are having so that was fine actually assignments are when I compare Coursera and NPTEL NPTEL assignments are on par with those Coursera platforms and live sessions unfortunately I have not attended such live sessions so far but I have gone through all these procedures how they are intimating that how they are getting the questions for live sessions I have gone through it was a good thing actually that fills the gap that this course is actually happened some four years back and they are re-running it again and again but still the faculty is you know available for clarifying the students doubt that's a good part actually. Payment I have a huge concern about that because 1000 rupees is a very large amount for a course and especially for faculty last couple of years they are aligning with AICD faculty development program certification that is good actually but individual course and respective payment is more so that is my thing portal and all is fine so last semester it was changed into Swayam altogether so it's fine no issues with portal and the network connections but one thing is regarding the placement of exam centres I actually think that okay if I register for the exam very early stage then I would get my own the first priority exam centre but that's that didn't happen this time I belong to Avadi Naari Chennai and I need to travel a lot this time this session especially yesterday I had courses in SRM college which is so extreme boundary of same Chennai so that is a concern so the because we are having exam centres in very near by our college itself but I have never have a exam centre in that college I always need to travel so that maybe get focused for the progress you'll learn. Hi my name is Swaminathan I just finished the NPTEL exam on patent search I have taken this exam because I wanted to get into the patent domain certification NPTEL has got a fantastic feature which allows you to take a number of courses and become certified in the domain so I am taking about three subjects this time one such exam is just what I finished it's called patent search in terms of teaching in terms of the support available in the discussion forum absolutely fantastic even the exam facilities today are awesome the only suggestion I have is that the keyboard becomes stuck and other thing because of frequent use I think somebody should keep examining but otherwise both the arrangements in terms of academic as well as the exam arrangements are fabulous NPTEL I have been a regular user of NPTEL this is my sixth or seventh exam I forgot and I am a regular user both in terms of quality and in terms of support available I really enjoy this I look forward to taking more courses to become a domain certified in this area called patents I need to take a certain number of core courses and optional courses so I am taking basically three courses this time and in the next cycle in the January 21st cycle I intend to take the remaining to finish this actually it is very useful because from this it depends on the interest right you see you got to be interested in taking a domain right there should be a purpose the purpose could be simply because of interest in that area you want to learn more or you want to do higher studies or you want to go for a research for example if you take this patent there is an exam called patent agent exam which is by patent office of India actually somebody who wants to become let us take a final year engineering graduate who wants so he can actually do this patent domain get a fantastic basic knowledge and then go and study better to prepare for that exam that is one use or you want to pursue a specific law legal courses and intellectual property this could help you so I think people should understand what is the purpose and then do it I do it for both purpose one is primarily for enjoyment for learning in this area second I may decide to use and sit for patent agent exam later but that gives me an option the qualities are pretty good actually both in terms of video and in terms of the content see content there are always two suggestions one is breadth of the content and the depth right but that is limited by the course time some of the courses are for four weeks some are for eight and some are for twelve for example if I take the patent search which I just completed it's an eight week exam run by IIT Kharagpur and the Rajegandhi School of International Property so it's extremely good in terms of faculty we don't have any problem another course I took yesterday that is from Dr. Ferros Ali who is from IIT Madras chair so we have no doubt about the the the course expertise and the teacher's expertise I also want to place it on record the amount of support available in the discussion forum that is very important because what is the difference between an offline and online right online you only rely on you have to raise a question the support is really fabulous hello and welcome to everyone I'm B. Manirajan I have came to to know about this NPTEL course in my college during my second year and I was and where I was motivated by my college to do this course I did my course on heat transfer today which was very useful for my engineering subjects and other field applications it this course helped me to enhance my knowledge about in my in my placements or in my higher studies I've been associated with NPTEL since the program started so in the initial days we used to purchase CDs from IIT later on then the same classes we had it in CD ROMs once you published in YouTube it was quite popular but it became more popular once you started conducting the exams and I've been writing this exam at least for the past three years and I've been watching the number of students who are writing the program it's almost increasing year by year this year it is the highest number of people have attended the course here I see most students are writing here and even the faculty members have the numbers of faculty who are attending these programs have increased and in some institutions they do attend this course or attend this exam for period transfer and how it helps us it helps us to learn a new skill at least at least I would have learned so many other skills other than my core subjects by these programs I think these programs are quite helpful and the one suggestion which I want to give to the NPTEL authorities is they can convert these lectures to textbooks and they can attach the textbook with the course material itself I think this textbooks would improve the quality of technical teaching in the country as well as it would increase the popularity of NPTEL more than what it is now that is a very easy process the registration resisting for this course of course if you want only knowledge it is free only if you want a certification you have to write an exam otherwise it is quite economical I think it is the cheapest in the world I think you do have other equivalent things here but it is the quality wise it is not something like this it is quite flexible 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks and of course one good thing about NPTEL other than all the other things is the focus part you have to compulsorily write an assignment every week so you are more focused on this NPTEL than with other things for example you do also have the private things where you do not have the assignment part where you can do anything on your own at any time but here it is not something like that there is a duration is fixed your assignment time is fixed your exam time is fixed this would help you to focus more on the subject than any other MOOC platforms and of course other than this I have done some courses where you have been offered the software for example MATLAB software of course if you are doing a course on MATLAB they give you free MATLAB software license version and in some cases I was told by somebody they were offered something which normally you would not get it elsewhere in some other platforms and you know I think it is a good service from NPTEL they should improve it further they should take you to the next level by more publications my domain as of now is started with patents and the new course what is that the new system that they have got it told is it domain speciality I think this would improve the popularity of the courses because more patletees are doing the course within the specified domain in fact I have registered for six courses this time only to get the domain certification part of it and the programs are also very challenging in those domain levels and not all programs are very easy there is a small amount of challenge in this to complete the domain certification also you will not get the certificate very easily you have to do put in some effort to get the domain certification I think that is a very welcome move the domain certification part at least in our area they could increase the number of domain certification militarily there are only four I think you could increase it to four or eight and all and that they will you do not have separate thing called electronic something like that they could increase the number of domain certification so that more number of people will do the courses and of course overall I think the quality of education or technical education would improve because of this NPTEL alone discussion forums have participated but most often you do not get doubts at all right it is maybe for a layman if at all you have a doubt or if you want to have a tattoo then you can do it is good but most often if you have a query and all if you put a query normally gets answered you do not need a forum for that to have a live interaction and get an answer if at all you have any doubt you can put a question it gets answered most often it gets answered even if a silly question it gets answered by the teaching assistant somebody answers the questions this is Dr. A.K. Subramani I am working as an associate professor and head in the department of management studies St. Peter's College of Engineering and Technology actually I did the the the NPTEL course and both Jan to the April session as well as December November to December that is July to December session and the topic of course I did three courses actually I did this time that is human resource development principle of human resource management and leadership and I find this particular course is very useful for the enrichment of the knowledge as well as even the students can do this particular kind of course so that they will be getting more exposure in terms of the subjects as well as the industry expectation they can fulfill the industry expectations and the course were run with a lot of videos and assignments which instigate the students to learn more and even the faculty who are teaching those subjects also able to get more information from the experts in the subject concern subject domain so and the assessment part also was very interesting and it instigate us to learn more I found that it is very user friendly so that the people can learn and access the system at any point of time to access the as to do the assignments and to access the videos and even the presentation the materials whatever they provided it is also very useful apart from that when we are going for the registration of the exam as well as for making the payment for the NPTEL course and choosing the options everything I found it is very easy and user friendly so that and even the kind of exam pattern they have the software they develop for the assessment of the subjects is also very good it is very user friendly and I did not find any difficulty even the common man or the person with common technical knowledge or computer knowledge could operate the system and can get the benefit of the system so my name is Vinod and I am coming from Chennai since I am today I written the NPTEL exam I applied for applied optimization for MI plus big data and today exam was nice and since this exam is came from my professor he recommended to take the exam so I came here and today I taken the exam and since it is going on well so today she means so much of exam is written today 19th December and since the question also is liberal and the course is very nice and for NPTEL I recommend for to take lot of people because the course is very nice and even exam also they conducting very good and the feedback also they giving step by step instruction was very nice I said that please take the exam and please come on and take the exam and thanks for coordinating for from IIT Madras came here and taking feedback as well as they managing the exam also very nice so thanks to all so I am not faced any issue in the portal since even I am applying online payment also they getting the feedback immediately from feedback team is good advice and recommend you to take a lot of people this exam. Yeah, good afternoon my name is Lakshmi Narsimhan I work for a German multinational engineering consultancy called Fischer I head the site services as a general manager I have today came here to write I am basically a mechanical engineer so I actually I underwent a course on financial accounting IIT Mandi course so I came here to prepare the exam earlier of course I did complete a course on solid waste management so per se the course conducted by IIT Mandi excellent actually the way the faculty conducted was wonderful because I am purely a hardcore engineering guy and for me to understand the basic concepts of accounting and finance it was a wonderful 12 week course and today the exam out in fact I did not come prepared for the exam because of my business in the office I just came and I finished off all the questions because the way the faculty taught Dr. Mandel excellent it was the only thing is today I had a very peculiar issue the you know I am I live in a place called Ambatur and we have a center very close to that I had applied for that center but the center allocated to me was Chennai Institute the Chennai Institute the address is given as you know Kunratu I put out the Google it landed me somewhere some 10 kilometers away from here so 845 I was there and the Google whatever was showing nothing was there then I asked no they said you travel back 8 kilometers so I came rushing 95 I rushed inside that was only otherwise otherwise it is a wonderful experience in fact I have registered for German also for the next semester German absolutely no issue absolutely in fact my son is writing through his college for tomorrow power electronics in NPTEL one of the he is one of the curriculum for them so he also did not find any problem and it is all fine as for a suggestion is concerned solid waste management I did last year and compared to last year this year I am seeing lot of centers have increased you have increased the exam centers also there has been good improvement I think to some extent the study materials they can make it see what happens in the study middle comes out as an output of the PowerPoint presentation probably the faculties may not have time to make a separate kind of you know notes for people like us you know if some shot material is made it will be good yeah I did I did I did attend the live interaction with him it was good excellent wonderful thank you so much. Deepa yeah and Deepa I did a course on introduction to proteomics by Professor Sivastava from IIT Bombay it is a very very nice course and all the modules were very interesting and it was thought with special industrial experts coming and having discussions also and the animations given were also very excellent very good teaching profile so that we were able to understand and there were lot of repetitive informations coming which made sure that it went inside our minds well so it was actually very good and the lecture material that was provided at the end also is very useful for preparing for the exam and I should make a special note of thanks to Professor Sivastava to making us know about all these proteomic tools and giving some live demonstrations also on it that is number one and number two I should appreciate the excellent examination setup that was given we were actually worried about how the safety aspects and things will be during the examination process but it was very very user friendly and as an individual I could handle without any help I was able to manage the whole process and there was ample good time and to reassure that my questions were good and I am very happy about the overall course as well as the examination conduction thank you so much. One thing which I wanted to study the lecture materials which were coming though it was useful there were certain what to say mistakes and things like that probably the teaching assistants who did the transfer of the material some cash should be taken could be taken I would not tell it should be done but it could be taken to make sure that the material is stand alone and it is excellent it was just an updation it is just an improvement not a bad. Hello my name is Akash I am from PSI Tech I got to know NPTEL from our college staff then I started doing NPTEL courses today I wrote a foundation engineering exam the the lectures were very useful it made me to understand the concepts clearly in our college the concepts were not thought not so clearly but NPTEL videos taught us the basic from basic to the core so it was very useful for understanding the basic and for solving some also it was very useful and for our anonymity exams also doing NPTEL was very useful for us and the exam exam the exam the conduction of exam also was very good structure domain more two courses I did the structure analysis and matrix method of structure analysis now then I have to do structure dynamics and strength of materials live we can do it on a google meet later instead of typing if you can express in words it will be very easy for us this is Kenjana Prasanna I have been working as a research teaching faculty for the past 13 years when I was working in alpha institute Porur they know there only one of my colleague my actually my H.O.D told in order to upgrade my career so I did one course and as soon as I joined the the course was computational fluid dynamic and as soon as I joined I got the placed in after that I got placed in VIT as a research scholar I did entrance and I did so this was my first paper which I did today advanced fluid mechanics the course instructor was Suman Chakrabortri of IIT Garakpur and all the 12 weeks the courses were very nice he explained very nice but only thing I felt was I was from max background and it is basically physics so I felt little bit tough so what and the assignments and all I am able to score like 60 to 70 months I was able to score not to the full extent 60 70 like that I scored but positive comments is this a negative is one thing is all the 12 weeks put together we can't able to that is I myself I felt like I can't able to read even though I spent two weeks because this is this corona period and I had only online classes in college so I managed to study so what I feel is after three weeks if you give test small test like every week you are giving assignments apart from assignment what I tell us like after five weeks after five weeks one test like that test you have to conduct if you conduct means it is very very nice very live sessions yes but I didn't have live sessions and all that in that so many people have posted the questions discussion forum I was been a member and so many people posted and answers were accordingly given based on that and that too I can able to understand very good very good for people like me content is yes video audio everything only thing that background that marker writing and all even more darker that alone again and again if I view through laptop it is very confident but every time we cannot use since because my child is also using the laptop so over phone it is the clarity only but speeches and all very excellent teaching so since because I have been max background and I was able to do that advanced fluid mechanics very useful I'm Harapriya I'm from assassin college I'm doing my third year B civil engineering I attempted my NPTEL course on reinforced concrete bridges and I got to know about the NPTEL courses to my college and I guess I did well it was it was quite satisfactory and we got to we had four assignments and it was a one-sided course I did it for my you know a credit transfer in my college and professor Raju I applied for power system protection the exam questions were a little bit tough it was covering the entire syllabus and mostly intricate questions were asked it is not that I had to take it as a certificate or something of it to acquire the knowledge I have come therefore the certificate is not of much importance for me going to just enrich my knowledge mostly this are most of all the courses are covered now this time I apply for three that is have two earlier two one I cancelled it because in the same day two examples it came therefore I cancelled one okay thank you so I'm Narseeman I'm currently doing my fourth year in triple IDDM Kanjiburam so I've taken the course advanced fluid mechanics in NPTEL this course was actually useful for me regarding I was I have already done fluid mechanics in my curriculum so I wanted to explore more in this fluid mechanics that's the reason why I took advanced fluid mechanics in NPTEL the course faculty was actually Suman Chakraborty it was actually excellent the course was excellent the depth in the concepts were also really good and the exam was quite challenging I won't call it really tough but the level was moderate the exam level was moderate so overall feedback is like NPTEL is doing a great job yeah I told like I did my basic fluid mechanics in my college itself during my fifth semester so in order to go beyond the scope of the fluid mechanics and going in depth into fluid mechanics and it also helps my project which is I'm currently doing my final year project so it helps for me to get more concepts involved in advanced fluid mechanics so that's the reason I took the portal was excellent there was no hassle in giving money for that is for exams and all the portal was good NPTEL portal swine portal were also good live sessions actually there weren't many for my course but the discussion forum was excellent and thank you thanks I am Dr. Suresh from assistant college of engineering working as associate professor in that college and I am since I'm in teaching I know very well about this NPTEL so I am regularly attending this courses even two days back I attended a course on steam and gas power systems and today I attended a course on heat exchangers fundamentals and design analogies it's really very good actually the purpose of doing this course was mainly to improve our department activities in our college so it will be the this course are considered as an FTP program for a faculty so the FTP program for a faculty always will be good for college and department so that's a major objective of doing this course and again online learning was very good excellent the assignments sections and answer solutions for the assignments again then the exams really it was very competitive it was really good actually and once a student passes this NPTEL exam he's really going to gain knowledge in that particular field so in that way it was it's not so easy to attend NPTEL it was really good and the system online system was excellent again payment is very very small amount compared comparing this other exams so it's really appropriate payment payment was very good online payment was very easy to pay the only problem was since we were faculty and once the assignments section everything we it was a 12 week course today I attended an exam and 12 week course so just 10 days back only I submitted assignments so suddenly the exams dates when so little bit tough for preparing otherwise that is the only drawback I had otherwise it was very good really and in future also I'm going to attend these kind of courses really that was very good sometimes some answers was not correct so we posted that immediately within two three two three days to one week they were able to correct it and they modified the marks also maybe courses later to refrigeration air conditioning it will be better I did not find that actually so if it is added it will be good for you thank you very much yeah the course which we have undergone in NPTEL was excellent and the courses which we which I went introvent it it makes me to learn plenty of things from that one but I have registered for a course in an industrial revolution 4.0 an introduction to IOT I was done and it was a pleasant experience for me to learn the new technology called IOT where I'm doing my research on IOT so it helps me to learn in depth of knowledge in IOT and and today I'm here to write the examination here in Chennai Institute of Technology yeah and I wrote my example and in each and every semester each and every half I'm just doing my NPTEL course here and this is my fifth course I'm doing in NPTEL because I'm just grasping more knowledge on it and so it was a it was a better learning and also I'll share to my students also because I'm in the faculty of an engineering college where I'm just train my students what I've learned from this thank you it's like a semester where an engineering student is doing where instead of going on with theoretical kind of things where NPTEL it gives an immense pleasure to have a better better better hands on on all those things where for example if a student is going on with data structures or object oriented programming languages if they took if they choose those languages as a domain language and they can go on with this video kind of things where they can have a better hands on experience and it leads them to get placement in better activities my name is Akash I'm current I finished my civil engineering in 2017 batch and now I'm currently proceeding in due to COVID time I have no job and currently really free at home so I pursued this pursued your NPTEL domain and I wrote a exam for a glass applications today glass application and design glass applications and I I studied for four to six months and using the video tutorial and I also got got the knowledge about the outside experience of the college environment and mostly I had no idea after passing my civil engineering these much these much courses are there and no knowledge idea so I tried this take this tried this NPTEL and and wrote my exam today today and I'm mostly I did it for certification knowledge under my career improvement career improvement and now I'm I have some idea what to do in next next to coming for the job job opportunities yes sir live interactions I have gone for for my topic there wasn't a live introduction I also applied for other other topics like reinforced reinforced concrete and advanced concrete technology they had a live interactions and it was very very good sir and I also our questions were answered the last of the session hello myself myself Hariharan I'm working as assistant professor in Anand city constitutional college Kanjiburam I selected this course patent law for engineers and scientists and I found this course very interesting I just wanted to apply for patents in future so that's why I applied for this course but I found that the the person who gave lecture during the videos the presentation was very good but the technical words that he used were very confusing and he might have taken some effort to prepare slides well the slides were not very properly oriented and but the exam was very interesting and subject was interesting for me and I did well for the exam no I'm very interested because I wanted to complete this for my career development also when I selected the exam center I selected Kanjiburam but it was very far from this place it's one suggestion like when they select the center for the exam they can select the area which is close to their residential or workplace hello everyone I'm Shweta and I'm studying in IIT Madras I'm a third year student and here the course which I took was biomedical nanotechnology the reason which I took is because my major is biotechnology and also nanotechnology is such a scopeful scopeful branch and many things are now being designed for example if you consider the 3d organ printing and all there are a lot of new and interesting stuff coming up so biomedical nanotechnology was very interesting so that's the reason why I took this course and I got to know about this through my college emails every year I used to get the NPTEL course list which in all courses have been scheduled when so it was easier for me to like choose how many week course and it's also useful for my credits for the credit requirement in my college fulfillment so it was very interesting and the exam was also pretty interesting so I recommend that NPTEL course is very much useful because you can study it at your own comfort space and also you can get a lot more knowledge where the college don't provide those courses so regular IITM courses there are a lot of core courses which you need to do even though it's not your major but using the courses which you want to study it specializes the stream which you want to look into because there are no not much courses on nanotechnology in IIT Madras but there are a lot of courses around and NPTEL is an easy way because you can study it from your home or from your own space and also attend exams and test your knowledge on the course so it was very helpful that way. I am Dr. Bala as a professor of community medicine in a Sara medical college I just took the course on biomedical research the exam was being from community medicine background the exam was good enough not very tough but it's just helped us in updating our knowledge the course and a final completion is the exam part yes generally this certification is required for promotion for all staff so that's one reason why I applied but fortunately I got promoted before the requirement came so before I applied I just completed the course because in future sometimes mca or nmc may make it mandatory for everyone to have the certification even if they are professors so we have completed okay the portal generally I want to give a good feedback about the portal it was user friendly the videos were taken well and it's very crystal clear about the professors and the portal were very helpful in understanding the content and they have the regular assignments in the portal that they were able to follow and assess ourselves regularly and that in fact helped in the exams also my name is Arish I'm I'm pursuing my final year in Sri Venkateshwara College of Engineering, Sri Parmuthu so actually coming to NPTEL when I joined my engineering itself I came to know about NPTEL through online itself so while starting my engineering itself I tried end one rolling the courses but since I joined engineering I wasn't able to follow it up but once I came to my third year I enrolled course and even I attempted few courses last I mean like last year also and this year also I took two courses one was my by my personal interest to develop my skills in MATLAB and another course was it was mandatory for us to take up in college because due to this lockdown they asked us to take this course through NPTEL which was a subject course so today I wrote the subject course so this is how I came to know about NPTEL actually I'm still not clear about that domain certification thing I'll little know about that minors they categorize the subjects based on some things but I'm not sure about that. So actually it's one of the good method of conducting the examination is an online and as a faculty I'm working in Radhileshwari Engineering College so it was very helpful for to get updated with the basic concepts over there and it just acts as a refresher for us refresher course so it's very nice initiative by IIT Madras thank you. Payment you can just do some other can reduce it because when faculty has just writing repeatedly so it becomes mandatory for the faculty over there you can reduce the payment over there that is one of the request we just proposed to it. So we are continuously writing over there and we are clearing the paper so we can just go over it and experimental wise FTP score is there but not all the courses are there very few courses are there yeah I have done four to five NPTEL and domain and also completed other than the domain and competition Python completed all the courses over there it's very nice that we could be able to explore other subjects also so where we cannot do it in a degree so like an elective subject it was very experiencing and some of the experimental aspects so you can just show the instruments which are available in IIT so that people will be updated with the knowledge so because all the videos are very old videos and some of them are reluctant to something new we expect the things to be what because you are the forum and the portal where you get the update so when that is being viewed by the student they will be getting update so if you are giving the old very old videos over there and not any update with the current trend content is not there update since we were able to just see so very old something new if you are just adding new instruments are evolved those instruments can be demonstrated and they can be updated at the last of the what last session not even if you could not able to add it in the initially you can just update it a lot so that this is the current development so that development can be included I have been attending almost on 8 to more than 8 examinations so it is very well formatted so that goes smooth. Yeah good afternoon I am Dr. Satish I am Indian Disciple in Ramchandra Medical College so the conduct of the exam is good and that social distancing and all this all those stuffs are neatly maintained except for the salient which has kept just outside the exam all of just not working other than that it was good and everybody was helpful to us and everything was good yeah the portal the portal and the timing and everything was smooth except for at the start of the exam it was a minute or something slow but other than that it was good the certification as such will be helpful for my promotion to associate professor and to a professor. Yeah hi I am Aditya from IT Madras electrical engineering department I have written the exam for applied natural language processing in LPL the course was very challenging and actually very interesting weekly assignments were all very interesting and made me think a lot some required the help of internet also like all the material was not covered in the course so it encouraged people to take feedback from the exams were not subjective so that difference I feel at least but difficulty why it is mostly the same actually there is a course which was not available this year applied time series the courses name is okay so it is not yeah I would try to take it this year but it was not there okay my name Sai Sundura I am from assistant college of engineering I have done the course programming in Java I felt it very interesting the videos and the demonstration that they gave was interesting and there is nothing negative about it it was very useful we could understand the concepts very clearly hi good afternoon everyone I am Dr. Amrita Jhansarani working as an assistant professor in Stanley medical college I did this basic course in biomedical research program I came to know this through my professor who asked me to end all myself in learning about this how to do a research project everything it was really very interesting I went through all the lectures which was posted in the course it was really very useful and I came to I learned a lot before I teach my post graduates because we are involved in continuous research programs in a number of clinical trials and I learned a lot I am very happy about joining this course and the exam too was very good very standard interesting and I wish you all to join everyone should join and get benefited by this yes regarding the peculiarity of this course was they gave number of examples to understand the various terminologies usually the community medicine people used to take as many real trial examples and all and this was very useful when compared to the regular lectures very useful to understand many terminologies conduct of the exam is this is the very first online exam I am attending very very interesting and I thought I don't know how to enroll myself how to enter into that very simple very easy and and which has been already given in the assignment it was you can change the options and you can go till the time is over in the same way the exam was also conducted and because it was already practiced to me it I felt very easy and it is not hard at all very easy to understand the course the conduct of the exam was really good very calm very peaceful I have to have idea of doing some online exams in future thank you myself Jaya Kastrat I am from army engineering college I have done a digital course in NPTEL it is very useful for my career because I am an electrical and electronic engineer so it helps me and sir was Santakumar Choudhury I think so he taught me more NPTEL is more useful it's very nice and very interesting and it's different from other websites and other videos it is taking a lesson in the explaining in the note with the note and pen so it is very easy regular course means we we can't take as much anytime we can take it till you can learn night also night 10 o'clock 10 o'clock we can time anytime we can learn so that it is useful thank you hi I'm Aparna I'm from Shivankateshwar College of Engineering here in Chennai in Kanjiburam and I wrote my exam for digital circuits today our college actually instead of teaching the subject they preferred NPTEL's course because it was very useful so it was very elaborate and the things were in detail so it was easy to learn and accessible and the exam also was conducted very like properly everything was planned properly and everything was executed also smoothly and this certification I feel like I've actually learned something about digital circuits rather than just like memorize things I've actually learned something and I think I'll have this knowledge with me so this is how the certification is useful for me yeah the yeah the quality is really good it's very regular it's nice that we get detailed solutions for the answers also and even the live discussion forum was also very useful and yeah it was good thank you so myself I'm Ivy Monisha I appeared for problem solving through programming see the paper was intermediate level it was an intermediate level it was not so tough or not so easy it was challenging it will be very useful in a career and in credit transfer hello I'm Balaji from Rajilashmi Engineering College I am doing my second NPTEL course this semester I did the exam well the exam were easy for those who had submitted the assignments properly they if this exam would be easy for it was a nice experience in this college thank you I'm Ashisha pursuing my chemical engineering in assistant college of engineering and I opted for diary and food products and process and product technology and I found the course interesting and the professor was really good in helping with the course and also with the live sessions and this exam was pretty easy I mean if you have completed your assignments and followed the instructions it was very easy it was all good uncomfortable thank you
