NPTEL is a project funded by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), which provides e-learning through online Web and Video courses in Engineering, Sciences, Technology, Management, and Humanities. This is a joint initiative by seven IITs and IISc Bangalore. Other selected premier institutions also act as Associate Partner Institutions.
History of NPTEL
The idea of having a Technology-enhanced learning initiative involving IITs and Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) was first proposed by IISc Bangalore in the year 1999 immediately following a Workshop on Technology Enhanced Learning (WoTEL) conducted in Bangalore in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), Pittsburgh, USA. Following that, significant infrastructure for the production of video-based teaching material by the institutes was set up. As of May 2016, approximately 1015 video courses and web-based courses have been developed by the faculty members of these institutions.
Certification courses are offered by NPTEL in association with industry partners like Aricent, NASSCOM and Google. These courses offered 2 or 3 times every year are aimed at bridging the gap between academia and industry. On successful completion of the course, an in-person, proctored exam can be taken by paying a nominal fee. Those who pass the exam will be awarded a certificate.
GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is IIT's competitive entrance exam for Master's and Doctoral programs across India.[5]NPTEL provides GATE question papers and mock tests on its official website nptel.ac.in. Previous 3-year question papers with reference to NPTEL content are available. Practice tests (without solution) are also available for students that mimic the actual online exam pattern.
