Certification Process (As given at NPTEL website)

1.Subject Matter Experts (SME – faculty from IITs or partner institutes with input from industry) create recorded video content for courses.

2.The course is uploaded on the portal and opened for enrolments, which is free.

3.Every week, about 3 hrs of video content is released along with an assignment, which is evaluated and provides the student with a score.

4.Teaching Assistants (TAs) and the faculty members support the discussion forum – answering questions and clearing doubts.

5.If someone wants to get a certificate from the IITs/IISc after doing the course, he/she should register for the in-person proctored certification exam that is conducted in 170+ cities across India and in select cities outside India too in collaboration with an exam partner. For learners in many other countries looking to get certified, online remote proctored exams are also administered. The certification exam is not free but has a nominal fee of INR 1000/-

6.A learner will pass and be certified only if Average assignment score (out of 100) >= 40 AND Final exam score (out of 100) >= 40. E-verifiable certificates are made available inside the candidate login. Only e-certificates will be published. Hard copies of certificates will NOT be printed. The pass criteria depends on the courses. The above mentioned is applicable for most of the courses but for those courses which have non proctored programming exams and for courses in other disciplines, the pass criteria may be different.

7.These certificates are envisioned for use in credit transfer to universities or for making the student more employable or for enhancing their growth in their current place of work.
