Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages

Taught by IIT and IISc professors, and it follows the Indian university syllabus closely.
All videos and assignments are free on NPTEL and SWAYAM.
The certificate is recognised by many Indian universities for credit transfer and by GATE aspirants.
Great for GATE and semester exam preparation.
From Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, a well-regarded name.
Completely free.
Self-paced: start any time.
A clear syllabus (5 parts) you can see before you start.

Disadvantages

The certificate needs a proctored exam at a centre, which has a fee.
Recorded classroom lectures: thorough, but slower than made-for-online courses.
New runs start on fixed dates (January and July).
Learning is free, but the certificate costs money.

Some points apply to every course of this kind; see how we rank.

Free to learn

Free: Every video and assignment is free on NPTEL and SWAYAM. Enrol when the next run opens.
Certificate: Optional. It needs a proctored exam at a centre, which has a fee.
