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.
  • Taught by Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, one of the strongest names in its field.
  • Completely free.
  • Self-paced: start any time.
  • A clear syllabus (12 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.
