NPTEL Online Certification (NOC), since 2014 –
Open Online Course (Enrollment is
free)
– onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in
Certificate
– e-verifiable, from IITs
What is an Open, Online Course?
• Exactly like a course you teach on campus
• Course starts on a certain date
• Course duration
• Lectures every week
• Tutorial problems every week
• Discussions every week
• Course ends on a certain date
• Except that, everything unfolds on an open, online portal
• Start date and an end date
• Course duration
• Videos of lectures released every week
• Online assessments and assignments
• Online discussion forum
Campus vs Open, Online Course
On campus Open, online
Anyone can
click and enroll
Course at a
distance, self-
motivated
Recognition

• I just came to know that an online course that I wanted to join has concluded its run. Is there
any chance of this course being offered again?
• Will exams be offered for completed courses in the next run?
• If I enroll to a course this time and miss writing the exam, next time the course is offered, do I
have to enroll again?
• If I don’t submit any assignment, can I register for the exam?
• How many exams can I give during a run?
• What if I have limited internet access? How do I watch videos online?
