 Hello, very good morning. I am C. Aravind from Rajalakshmi Engineering College healing from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the course that I have undertook over this period of 12 weeks is rapid prototyping, which is extremely and superbly thought by the professors of IITs. A noteworthy point is that NPTEL courses facilitate and extend the knowledge boundaries of any typical student who is studying in any entire colleges. And the second noteworthy point that this particular NPTEL course offered is the extensive lab session demonstration offered by the corresponding IITs. Thirdly, I would also like to make this point very clear that is the submission of assignments and the facilitation and the doubt clarification sessions that is constantly being held in forums. And the third noteworthy point is the conductance of live sessions by IITs who are doing an extremely good job in clearing and clarifying the doubts of the students. And finally, I would also like to congratulate the testing facilities that were available during the course of the time. And since this period is being a traumatic period for the citizens of India, especially south that is in Chennai, the test centres have taken extreme measures to ensure the smooth facilitation and the smooth transition of the exam from starting to beginning. And hoping that many students take up this NPTEL courses as they provide and the cater and they mould the students into greater heights and thus also enabling the second important factor for any non-ITN. That is if you perform the course well you might get a chance to work with the corresponding IIT professors who are professors who are working in the department that you have a strong hold on. Thank you. I am Jayeshree, working as associate professor in SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Katangalathur. During the academic year 2020-21, I have done digital circuit. The concept explained is very good with good understanding. We were able to study the subject and the weekly assignments we were able to do with the help of that. We were continuously putting up our effort in learning the subject and the final exam also the questions were easy and we were able to complete the exam within the time. Thank you so much for all the effort you have taken for our benefit and all the faculties working in different institute will be benefited a lot through that many of our students will get the benefit and they will learn the course with good and proper understanding. Thank you for all the effort put by the NEPTEL course corporate members and all the team people working in that. We really thank you from our heart. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Hi my name is Davia. I work as assistant professor at Nivchen. I came to write understanding ethnography which was a really superb course by professor Dr. Neena Sabnani. The exam was pretty simple was actually slightly vague but I was able to complete it in half an hour. I want to say it was very easy in the sense that all the questions because your multiple choice questions it's the case of wording. So even one word changes the meaning changes. So in that case some of them were a little hard but it was okay it was doable but it's very useful course. Thank you. My name is Harith Raghuram and I've taken the NPTEL examination. My subject is organizational behavior. It has been a 12 week program and it has been a very productive program for me and I have learned a lot because I look to develop in my personality soft skills as well as organizational behavior and stuff like that. And doing this exam will be opening my mind and also helping other people around me after this examination and help and guide people with this qualification I get. Thank you. The course which I have applied for is industrial safety engineering related to occupational health and safety. I am working in the same relevant field. I am HSE engineer at Saipam India Projects Limited. I am working with the corporate HSE team and this course is this certification could help with my career growth. So it is relevant to my field of work. So it is very very useful but my feedback with relevant to this examination this final examination is that the course materials the course delivered everything was perfect. The assignments were challenging yes all that was perfect. But for the final examination part I think the duration is absurdly high. I even in the same venue like two weeks back I attempted NLC examination. That was like the duration was like a minute for a question like 120 questions 120 minutes that's it. But here it was like 50 questions and the duration is three hours which is absurdly high. I would say an hour or an hour and a half where yeah of course we were allowed to leave after an hour and a half. But that would be the optimal duration for the for this examination. That's what my feedback would be. So what from that everything else is perfect. So yeah thank you very much. Thank you very much. My name is Mukesh. So I'm from Tamil Nadu Ruktam Vettco Law University GLC PKM. So I'm a law student. I did constitutional studies. So the examination was easy. I just watched all the videos and submitted my assignments regularly. I passed 17.5 percentage out of 25 marks in assignments. And the videos were very helpful. And it's almost if you watch the videos and submit the same as that would be very enough and sufficient for doing very well in the examination. So it was very easy. Assignments were easy. Like it depends. It depends few concepts. You need intense understanding and few it is enough if you have watched the videos properly. Actually I had enrolled three courses. So then only I decided of what the course I'll have to attend physically. So first two assignments I didn't submit. But other assignments I was submit because at the time I didn't expect that I'll take this one for the physical appearance examination. I thought that it would be a little difficult. But it was easier than my expectations. Of course I'm just a second year student. And just now I completed my first year. So now I don't much think about what I'll do in my future. But I'm thinking like I have to write more such examinations. Preferably now I'm doing law and next time I'll do any courses for management such as taxation, direct taxes. So now I understood something. So my name is Arihint. So I'm writing this exam like for my second year actually. So I think it's actually kind of easy if you're following the assignments. And you're just reading the transcript. So it's actually kind of easy. But then it seems hard when there's a typing exam. So that's one thing. But then it's actually easy if you're just don't watch the videos a lot. But then watch it if you're so in doubt. So yeah, it's kind of easy. Just do your best. That's all. So the assignments actually depends on the subject. Usually it's actually easy if you're just following the transcripts. I've done like two courses so far. I've completed that in my last year. And for like this is my second course I'm writing. So I also wrote an exam. Yeah, most of the time it's useful because sometimes the questions we answer or like it changes actually the right answer different and the answer they have given us so it's a different. So sometimes using it is very effective. Yeah, thank you. Sivaraj Kumar energy conservation and wastegate recovery. See it was good actually and I'm doing this exam after 15 years of my study. I'm working presently and it is a good experience so that I can refresh my fundamentals. It is giving a confident on the research and calculation of my area where I'm working and it's like going through again on my basics. It's actually a basic course but I wanted to do for my career. It was very good examination. Actually I have not expected like that. This is my first experience and the exam also easy. I have not much prepared well but if I prepared and if I spend more time on the course and no if I come for the exam. My name is Vidya Sagarar. I'm from DG Vaishnava Varumbakkam. Gender and Literature. Initially my professor told me to take some interesting course then he came up with gender and literature and I found something interesting in the title. So in our society itself we have so many gender issues and in our education system itself we have so many contradictions and people are biased. So I found something interesting in the title itself. I just decided to pick this course. That's what the reason. Good afternoon. I'm Tamil Arsi from working as assistant professor in Rajilakshmi Engineering College. Now I'm doing digital circuits. In this course I did all my assignments well and all videos my corresponding coordinator taught as well. It's very useful for us and I also played a role of mentor for this course. It's very useful for my career and also develop my knowledge. Thank you. I'm Dr. B. Meena. I'm working at Petition College as head department of commerce and as well as vice principal. Now today I took management account yesterday I took caste accounts. I need to develop my knowledge as well as I need to monitor my students. They are also coming for writing examination. As a mentor simultaneously I look into the assignments as well as I can guide them how to getting passed an NPTEL examination. It will be very useful for them in the accounts knowledge. They can develop. They can work in future in all MNCs companies. It's a part of curriculum for our course. So simultaneously it's useful to update their knowledge. I'm Srinivasan. I'm an assistant professor. I'm working as in Madras veterinary college in department of veterinary pharmacology and toxicology. I've taken direct delivery and principles and engineering. This is something which I have a very limited knowledge. Though I work in pharmacology but our area is totally of treatment aspect. But formulation aspect I don't have much knowledge. So I had taken this course. It was very useful. NPTEL is really doing very good and I'm very happy about it. A lot of courses are which I thought could have done during my college work. I missed it. I didn't do but I got a chance now to do it. That's why it's really useful for me to upgrade my knowledge and it is more on engineering and biological side is a bit lesser. But I would suggest that more on biological side should come up and especially in the ICA or like agricultural and veterinary side also there's nothing like there's no course on I believe there is no course on agriculture and veterinary. So that if that can be brought into that then this will be useful for that sector. You are more concentrating on engineering sector but agricultural and veterinary also can be included. Thank you so much. I'm Sindhuja. Actually I'm a faculty. I've done my physiotherapy. So masters in physiotherapy. I've taken neuroscience of human movement. Like I expected my I have done physiotherapy. So I've chosen course which is related to me neuroscience of human movement. So I was expecting the same related to neuro and movements related. So what I expected they exceeded the limit. Yeah it was really very nice. They have given so much of information details about each and every like brain and spinal cord each and every part they have given detailed information. It was very useful for me so that I can also teach my students all the things know they're doing well. So I can suggest to my students also. First thing to do the courses and exam is also really easy to do. Thank you. My name is Swaminathan. I'm from Bhett Chennai. I'm a solar engineering and technology. Assignments are a little bit of a solution. It will be good if you give it. It's a little bit difficult. It will be good if you give it a solution. I am a working professional. Introduction to Japanese language and culture. I am passionate about learning a foreign language so I have taken this Japanese course. Yeah the course was good. The assignments given in the NPTEL website was also good. It was easy to read and then I was able to take the exam confidently. Veerish, IIT Madras, waves and oscillation, a physics course. Online courses are very comfortable. You can watch it again. There are a lot of ways to... There are many benefits. One thing is, this is an online lecture and where you cannot directly contact the professor. But males, mentors and other students will be having the... We are having the forum. We can ask the doubts. But little like in one or two days we'll get the replay and solution. Whatever it won't we can ask. The only thing is we cannot directly go on to one, we cannot talk in real. Not the class and all. But compared to that there are many advantages. So considering the advantages you don't think disadvantages are like... You cannot say that because of this I am not taking the course. If you want to learn something then NPTEL is the best option. People have a different mind. They want to come to IIT and they want to study in IIT or IAS or IAC. But that is not how it is. People who want to learn they can learn anywhere. NPTEL is the same professor from IIT as they teach and the content is also the same. And the TAS are also students of IIT. So there is nothing different from I am IIT student. So I know it. But people don't know it. People who know it they are taking advantage of it and they are utilizing the resources. I think we have to be very practical. What is the content? We have to look at the content. Not the brand or not the college, not the name of the college. It's a completely different thing. That's how it is. I am Kavya and I just took my NPTEL exam for gender and literature. This was a very useful course for me. I am a student of literature. So to learn about how gender acts out and texts of literature as well as our social life in connection to the society today, the culture and how everything from colonialism to something as simple as advertisements affect gender and normalize and change the notion of gender was a very interesting topic to learn. And the NPTEL platform was very easy to access. The exam was pretty well. It was good. It was as expected. It wasn't extremely hard but a few of the questions were thought provoking. Thank you. I am Mainakka from SWC. Actually I found the NPTEL courses interesting. For the last four years I am attending different courses and all the assignments and course was very interesting. And the exams also we are finding it different from whatever we are attempting. Thank you. I am Shankar. I am from Chennai only. I have done my masters already. I am working right now in industry. I registered for ReForce Concrete Bridges. The assignments were good. This one was more concentrated on superstructure design. The assignments were submitted periodically and most of the questions that came today were from the assignments only. And it was challenging. The numerical problems were good. Really it was interesting to do all the problems. I am looking forward to more courses on substructure designs too. I am Dr. S. Uma Devi working as an associate professor in VIT University Chennai campus. I am doing the course of NPTEL course of hardware modeling using very long. So it is an 8 week course taken by Dr. Indranil Sen Gupta. So each and every week I was eagerly waiting for his videos because it was perfectly matching with the course what we are currently taking. So all his examples, the assignment questions, whatever he is giving. It will be interesting to solve as well as I can take those examples to set the hard questions to my students. And overall each and every nook and corner was covered and it was challenging as well as interesting. I mean I cannot say it is very difficult. If you go through all the videos very properly as well as all the concepts whatever he has covered. Then we can face it. Again the exam also was interesting. So good evening to all. I am Maheshwari from Satyabhama University. NPTEL is very good for students and also the staff. It is very useful to improve our career. So I am in the teaching field. So I got some new methodology to solve the programming and all the skills. So if the students use it means they can get more knowledge about all side of the languages. It may be the language that what I want to say now. Not only the programming skill. They can develop their skills in variety of ways. The exam is very... because if I attend the assignments and submit the assignment properly it will be easy. It is based on the assignments and because in this time the new editor they introduced in the Java. So it is very useful for the learners. Because previous because it is new for me. So this time only I attend the NPTEL courses and exams. So in Java they provide a new editor. So it will improve the student skills, program development skills. So this time they would very good job in NPTEL. Especially in the Java. But other side I... because in the programming language subjects it is very superb. If the program attend subjects it will be easy to learn their knowledge. So thank you, thank you. Hello my name is Dr. Mahalakshmi. I am actually heading the department in one of the specialties in SRM Medical College. Basically I have been attending a few courses of NPTEL. But this time only I actually wrote an exam also. And I feel as a researcher it actually helps me a lot in honing my specialty. And also it helps in various ways for the students as well as for researchers, faculty members as well. It helps basically to improve my knowledge about any particular subject. So this time I took up medical bio nanotechnology. So it was really very helpful for me. Hi, this is Dr. Priya Dasini. I am assistant professor in Sriram Chandra Medical College. Today I had come to give the course exams for the course on biomedical statistics. The course was extremely useful and it helps us to understand in depth about the research process. The exam today was also conducted in a very legible manner. We faced no difficulties. After going through the course the exam was quite easy. The assignments was quite... it was like a revision of all whatever lectures we had gone through the 23 courses. The assignment questions had a brief revision of all whatever concepts we have learned through the lectures. Myself Rekha. I work as a lecturer in Institute of Chemical Technology. I have seen a lot of NPTEL courses. Specifically I tried the chemical process safety course for the first time. The course explanation was very good. The assignments were given for 12 assignments. I was not able to complete the assignments because of work pressure. But if I had done it for 12, it would have been very useful. The exam was given for 3 hours. It could have been one and a half hours. It was quite simple. The course was very useful for me because I was in teaching. Even in the areas that I did not cover, there were a lot of syllabus. As far as chemical engineering is concerned, safety was very important. I chose the course in that aspect. My students are now going to work in the industry. Safety is the first thing that comes after that. So I took this course as my preference. Thank you. I am Dr. Helen from Satyabama Institute of Science and Technology. I am frequently writing this exam. I find it very easy and useful for students and teachers. I am very happy to see that even in this COVID situation, many of the students were approaching. That itself is showing the importance of the exam and the way they conduct. I thank the organizers. Thank you. Myself Prashanakumar, thank you. I am doing my final years in Tripoli TDM Kanchipuram. I came to write this Python exam, Joy of Computing in Python. The course is a basic course where everyone can learn about Python. It is very interesting to solve these questions. Even though due to this pandemic, everyone has been quarantined, NPTEL has took some brave steps to conduct this exam. I am appreciating that. But still, if you are able to conduct a protected exam in my home, it will be the best assignment. Assignments are quite good. Every week, when I say it is my submission, during Wednesday, I thought I have some work to do. Even though it is based on the course, what the teachers taught us in the videos. As a mechanical engineer, coding is a basic step to enter into an IT field. Myself Venkateshiram from Rajalakshmi Institute of Technology. My college encourages me to do all those NPTEL courses. They are very easy to understand. It is making me to entrench my knowledge. It will be always useful for my future. I like these type of courses very much. This is the second time I am attending these courses. Really, it is a great job. In this pandemic, it is very difficult to conduct all those exams, but the team is doing a great job. I like the thing they are doing this. Even in this pandemic, they are conducting exams. Assignments are entirely related to the topic. If we complete every assignment properly, the exam is literally easy. I miss some of them. The exam is a bit difficult. I am Satya Narayanan. I am a faculty in VIT Chennai. I have come here to take a specialization exam. When I studied, there was no deep learning in our syllabus. Later, when I did my PhD, I used some of the concepts there. I want to read that as a course. That was my long-term plan. The NPTEL provided me the right platform. There is an assignment with fixed deadlines. I prefer this type of mode over the other MOOC that is given by Coursera. This is really beneficial. Now, I am prepared to teach to my students the way the NPTEL instructor taught me. I learned a lot from here. It is more of a training for us. AICT also accepts this as a FDP, Faculty Development Program. It has multiple benefits. Thank you. I am Dr. Shruti from SRMC, Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics. This whole course has been designed very effectively and it is very useful. The examination was done very nicely. It was conducted and it was a smooth process. It was really helpful overall. It was very useful doing the assignment and also they have given us the previous cycle assignment as well, which really empowered us in preparation for the exam. Thank you. I am Dr. Danlakshmi, Associate Professor for the teacher profession. I need to take this course. First, I felt when I took the assignments and examination, I thought the exams would be difficult, but I felt it was good and the arrangements, everything was good. So many things which we were practicing while doing the research were wrong. Some of the points. Now I could implement everything into my practice. That is the thing. Thank you. See, I would like to thank the NPTEL group such as the Well Organization. During this pandemic situation, they had conducted the online examination very well. Actually, frequently it is postponed, but anyhow that group conducted successfully and then we did the examination very well. So, what I come to tell you means, really I thank and then it is a very appreciating thing during this pandemic situation. I am Dr. Ratna. I am a faculty in private engineering institution. I regularly write NPTEL exam for the past four years Actually, it is very helpful for my career and they have made excellent arrangement during the Covid time. Exam was easy. Assignments are like tough only. You cannot easily copy and paste. You have to think and write only. Although like a 50% of the assignment questions you can copy and paste. You can search in Google and you can find the answers. But 50% is you have to think and do. I am Dr. Subita working as an assistant professor in Madras Medical College. I did this course on March and completed on June because of Covid it was delayed and now I have written the exam. It is very interesting to write the exam and it is also very competitive and it is very useful for me. It is a very nice course and the assignments are also very good. The course materials are also very detailed. Detailly explained. All the teachers who have taken the class are also very neat. Hi, I am Arun. I am working in Neffel Smith. Currently I am working for nearly four years. I had an interest to work on the subject which is conducted by NPTEL through SWAM. I was interested in the design of reinforced concrete structures and the course was explained pretty well in the NPTEL subject videos and I think the exam is also pretty easy and that's it. The assignments given was a little bit challenging and it was very much making the subject more easier by clarifying the concepts. I am Umma Mageshwari. I am doing my PG course in MGR College. Through college only I started this NPTEL course. Actually I am new for Java. So according to me it is very useful. Clear explanation. In the exam also they are asking critical questions. Not direct questions. Most of the questions are critical questions. So it is very useful for me. I am Dr. Pravda. I am a professor in the department of foreign medicine and radiology, Satebama Dental College. So I wanted to do this research, this course because I am doing my PhD now. So I thought it will be useful for me. So the course was very well formulated. The videos everything and I found it very useful. I do prepare well but the question was little tough. Probably my preparation is not that enough. But it was challenging and really enjoyed doing this course. Thank you. I should thank ICMR and the epitomology department for organizing this. Assignments were useful but after seeing the videos immediately we do the assignment so it was we find it easy. But when we prepare it again probably we need some more time to do it. Thank you. My name is Aneshkar. I am currently studying a postgraduate at the University of Madras. I came here to write the NPTEL exam for dairy technology. NPTEL is actually offering various kind of courses for all manners of fields, for many specialties. I have currently written this semester for cell culture technologies and dairy food technology. It is very useful for me and in my upcoming endeavors like doing PhD and other job related aspects it's very useful for me. Assignments or few assignments are a bit tricky and I think they make us curious and try to help us to work hard. That's what I think. Definitely anyone I don't know about the other subjects in NPTEL but regarding the science related courses in NPTEL I think Swamiji is the best and this is the best platform to develop our own skills. Thank you. I am Dr. Shubha. I am professor of pediatrics in Ramchandra Medical College. I did the course to enhance my knowledge about this program. The course is quite elaborate and it takes a lot of time to go through the videos and then answer the assessment. I think this course there should be a little more about some basic knowledge about this one. Since it was meant for most of the post graduates there should be some basic knowledge about what do they mean by their confidence interval what do they mean by I mean some very basic knowledge has to be there. I think that part I think they should focus a little more than more on the clinical trials. Exam was it was okay, it was not I won't say very difficult because there were some questions here you are not very sure but I mean definitely I think an average you should be able to perform on this. But the reason was that postgraduate means compulsory for all the post graduates since they are very novice I think sometimes certain basic information has to be there in this course. Because they I mean they will not know anything so I think there should be a basic level course then clinical trials can be maybe in advance because it may not be that much I mean though they must have some knowledge relevant to a postgraduate as much as and there should be more examples and working examples for you know the problems and the that you get to understand the subject I am Dr. Stalin from Tirunamalai Medical College the course is very useful it is for my career improvement and for MCI purpose. Assignments are good it is useful for future research purpose Hello my name is S1 I have taken up Python and C courses on NPTEL I have gone I came to know about this course through my lecturers and it will help me in becoming bright in my future. Thank you. My name is Siva Subramanian I am an IT professional into AI and data science. The NPTEL courses are very useful particularly for a person like me to develop the career the videos are very well structured content is very rich and assignments are well balanced and even the examinations are very good they are well conducted. A lot of planning and coordination has gone into the study material as well as the execution during the course as well as conducting the examination so many follow-ups happen during this Covid time when the Jan to April exams are rescheduled and again many notifications SMS messages, emails to notify the exams are again being conducted again etc also they made a lot of effort to conduct the exams at home actually using a home proctored methodology a lot of experiments were done I attended twice actually so kudos to all the team who are behind these things actually the professors not only the professors but all other people who are behind these logistics a very good opportunity for a citizen in India to pursue higher education with very minimal cost thank you I am a senior assistant professor in Madras Medical College in the department of dermatology so I am in government service for the past 15 years it is a form of compulsory exam usually I am in dermatology we are not interested in SPM I went through a course in Guindy M.J. University for this one towards research publication it is very useful to write the exam actually I have revised 3 or 4 times with associate professors we discussed a lot it was very useful I have a plan to come for that training program again and again once in a year I can improve myself in research publications majority of questions are repeated from the assignments unless you go through it again and again you cannot learn, you cannot apply unless you apply you have to mug it up it is not possible in our profession so you have to go it again and again though it is somewhat irritating good things will always taste bad so we have to go through it is a good thing sir so that I can teach my PG students well this is Sharda, I am working as an associate professor at SRM institute of science and technology I work for the department of biotechnology this semester I am taking I have taken 3 courses on NPT I have done one now I have one in the afternoon and one tomorrow I am doing this as a part of my faculty development program because it enhances my chances of transferring the information better to my students myself Kavya I am doing PhD in VIT University so I have to do course study that is for sure because I want to do research on deep learning so for that I have enrolled for this course and it is a 60 lectures videos are present each are approximately for 30 minutes so this helped me a lot throughout my research in deep learning in terms of medical field my name is Jay Surya I am from Mankateshwara college and apart from the curriculum this is a course that I am doing a course related to computer architecture so I feel it will be very helpful to my resume certification good evening to all I am Pushpa working as a professor in St. Peter's institute of higher education research in the department of computer science and engineering I have come here to appear for NPTEL exam the course that I have done is joy of computing using python NPTEL is helping both the students and faculty in a very big way to improvise themselves in learning the trending topics in every engineering domain in that aspect this course has now helped me to augment my knowledge in the language python programming which will help me to transfer my knowledge in a better way to my students assignments are really good for joy of computing in python in particular it was the assignments really has helped us to learn so we have to execute the code to learn and also this course has made the reading learning different by having a practical component attached with it it has been made mandatory for the candidate to appear for the practical exam as well that has really helped us to get our hands trained in python concepts thank you I am an associate professor in Ramchandra University and we got to know about this course recently in the log long period did the assignments regularly and it was very useful before doing the course all these terminologies and statistics was totally like Greek and Latin after doing the course after going through the videos and reading through the assignments it was very very helpful and I did the exam extremely well my name is Sundar I am a software person it's a very good course for anyone who is willing to learn the concepts were explained very clearly tough concepts they started from the basics and expanded it steadily even difficult subjects were made to look very approachable I did my B. Tech in Crescent Engineering College I have done this exam well thanks for this exam hello I am Dr. Reni I am doing my M.D. from D.Y. Partil Navi Mumbai today's exam was good because of the COVID the precautions they had taken it was really good we actually expected the exam to be postponed a little bit but it was good on our day to day basis we didn't get much of time to prepare it the course, the videos that they had provided was very useful was very handy and we were able to do it in the last minute and it is a must that all the residents should do it before doing the thesis it was very helpful in that way the assignments were really the 23 papers that we had taken online that was very helpful because of that we were able to do the exam easily today
