Give me a second. I'm sort of thinking like the youth life is not feeling like she needs to take it. Yeah, live now. But it is not showing with the youth. Yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah, fine. Yeah, ma'am, you can start now. We are live now. Yeah, very good morning to one and all myself, Dr. Bishala, single point of contact Spock of St. Agnes College, autonomous mag load Karnataka. Welcome you all to this NPTEL awareness program. This program has been organized in association with the NPTEL team for the benefit of our staff and students. We thank the organizers of local chapter of NPTEL for giving our college this unique opportunity. Welcome makes a merry fist. I now request Dr. Sister Veniza, our principal of our college, our college to welcome the gathering.  Good morning to all of you and a warm welcome to this online session. Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow, says Anthony J. Angelo. Learning has been a passion for the first at St. Agnes College. St. Agnes College Mangaluru Karnataka is the first women's college on the West Coast of India, founded on 2nd July, 1921 by Mother Mary Elvisia. The college has progressed by lips and bones to be one of the premier institution of higher education in the country. The college from its inception has imparted higher education to the women of South India. It has ever since proved to be a standard bearer of refute in the field of education. While education of the girl child and women empowerment are recognized as the national priority today. St. Agnes College has been serving this noble cause for the past 100 years and its alumni scattered all over the world are witness to this fact. As we march into the post centenary year, we extend this legacy of our century to boys too at the undergrad to be a part of this institution to unleash their creativity and to be a part of those intellectuals who will eventually turn into citizens with personal integrity and social responsibility. So we do feel proud to see our students alluring the distinction distinguished post at different levels and different positions as educators, scientists, chartered accountants, management professionals, efficient homemakers. The college aims to integrate academics with value education and focuses on skill enhancement of our students. Hence, we have introduced a number of certificate courses, diploma courses, research work extension activities and development programs for the students as well as teachers keeping in mind the need of the society and the demands of the job market. The college took the initiative of submitting itself to the accreditation process conducted by NAC in 1999. And St. Agnes College was the first college and a Mangalore University to submit itself for this process and it received a five star grade then. The subsequent accreditation processes by NAC in 2005-2012 the college earned a grade and in 2017 the institution was recognized as a college of excellence by UJC and secured a plus grade from NAC with a CGPA 3.65 out of four under the fourth cycle. The college also is a recipient of star status from DBT MSD government of India New Delhi. The college is the proud recipient of Jimmy and Rosalind Carter Foundation Partnership International Award for its path breaking work in the field of watershed management greatly benefiting villages in the suburbs of Mangalore and a certificate of appreciation from Father Muller Medical College for regular blood donation annual blood donation camp. The college has introduced a community service program for all its final year students with the three-fold objective of education, awareness and service. And as adopted five villages where students and staff move every Saturday to these villages to render their little service to the villages and build up the village out through their outreach programs. The year 2021 was a milestone in the history of Saint Agnes College as it completed 100 years in the field of education and empowerment of thousands of women. The college has stamped its influence on each of their lives, not just in the quality education that they received and the sharpening of their skills and talents, but in the very shaping of their character, values and principles. I'm happy today to welcome all of you to this online session on creating awareness regarding the MPTL programs. A few of our students have benefited from these courses in the past year that is last year. And now we are eager or rather we want more students to benefit from the same as well as our staff members. So this platform has provided students a wide range of courses where an option is available to them as per their interest, their need, taste, etc. So we are happy to benefit from these Swayam portal and open this facility and encourage our students to pick up the courses. So today we have to guide us, enlighten us regarding these programs. Ms Divya, the project officer, Ms Priya Garshini, projects associate and the team. On behalf of all the faculty members gathered at this online session, I extend a hearty, warm welcome to you dear madams and the team. I'm sure this session will help all of us to enhance the knowledge as well as clarify all our doubt. I extend a cordial welcome to all our faculty members, both of UG and PG departments and students who are always eager and passionate to enhance their learning skills. Once again, a warm and hearty welcome to one and all. Thank you. Thank you sister for an elaborate introduction of our college and for those words of welcome, warm words of welcome. Thank you sister. NPTEL team would like to know about our college and the impact of the NPTEL courses on our staff and students. To do this present task, I now request Dr. Nancy Walsh, the registrar of our college and also the former SPOC at our college. She had taken a lot of trouble to instill interest among staff and students. I feel Dr. Nancy Walsh is the right person to do this present task. Thank you. Thank you, Vishala. Good morning to my principal, Divya Maida and your team. Dr. Vishala, the present SPOC and all the staff and students of our college. I'm honored to present this small service. I will not share the PPT's but let me just tell what we want to say from Agnes' side. Now, we know that our college is established 100 years ago as sister said and it was a women's college for a century. Now it has turned co-ed post-centenary. It was started with just nine students way back in way back 100 years ago. Currently we have around 2000 students and it was started with just one program. Currently, we have five UG programs that is BA, BSC, BICOM, DBA and BC at the UG level and five PG programs MA English, MCOM, MSC Psychology, MSC Chemistry and MSC Clinical Psychology which is under Rajiv Gandhi University. The program for our autonomy and we have MBA and MCA which is about to be started this year. We have around 90 teaching faculty in the UG and 25 at the PG. Now at St Agnes College, maybe I've been the SPOC for the past four years when this program has started and we have quite a few of our staff who have completed their courses at NPTEL. So we are in touch with the NPTEL courses. In addition, with regard to MOOCs, we are in touch with Coursera and we are in touch with edX, all these platforms. As far as NPTEL at the college is concerned, we have programs which are taken in lieu of the courses. Actually, three students have done this and recently one student has taken up a German course and in that she stands as top of the 440 students who have taken up this course, who is Diya Abiraj. Now as far as how popular NPTEL is, it has not taken off so far as it should be because of a few reasons. There is clarity of guidelines to be received yet. There is a clarity but not exactly in the way it has to come. Then there was a COVID situation which gave us a setback. Time factor as far as the full-time course is concerned, it's very difficult to cope up maybe for students, especially after COVID who have lost touch with the normal running way. The time factor is one which is troubling them. Then there are many registrations but there are no completions. They won't go up to the exam level. Then maybe there is some need for mentoring which has not caught up with our college. So these are a few reasons why we have not been able to take off in the right way. Now we have other edX platforms especially the Coursera which we have, there are many students who have taken up courses on Coursera since they give us a few free courses that have taken it up. Now I have to give up this in favour of Dr. Vishal because of a few reasons. Now NPTEL offerings I would like to see this. NPTEL offers single courses, single course in lieu of courses or we can earn extra credits to them. There are domain programmes where the whole domain is learnt on a particular concept and then there are internships offered and I simply love the awarding system of NPTEL. The way they recognise the topers, the way they award them and make up for it. I am really at one of the workshops and at it I have seen the way in which NPTEL encourages students and staff to come forward and improve their career through NPTEL courses. Now IIT Madras is one which impresses me a lot because of the way in which they take up this platform. I should say it is the most responsive platform because the minute we encounter a problem we can just get back to them. There is a group also, WhatsApp group. We can just get back to them as a spark and you can expect instant response, instant response. Almost within an hour we can get a clarification for anything that we want. That way we are very, I feel very honoured to be a part of this particular programme. Now as far as what we want at Agnes, we want to be a part of this whole programme and we want to know what the benefits are for students. Online programmes and offline programmes versus offline programmes. The benefits that can be availed by the staff and students to these programmes. Then I would like you also to tell us about the way in which you recognise. I have seen it, many have not. Mentors, the way in which mentors are recognised, colleges are recognised and the students are recognised for being studying. Then something which interests me a lot is internships. I know the kind of linkages that you have in the industry. And if our students could get these internships, we will be very greatly benefited. So maybe we want to know the types of internships as is not a technical institute as is a degree college. And postgraduate programmes are offered but the types of internships whether they are available to our students also and how they can be availed. Information on that it would be very nice if you share with us and maybe you could guide us on domain programmes. And the equivalence that is there, that is available for students to have done domain programmes. We would also like to know the tie ups that we can have with NPTEL or IIT Madras. Please guide us on that. And any other thing which you would like to tell us about. Now what I see as a college, safety time is college for the future. We know online programmes and MOOCs have come to stay. We want to give the best offerings for our students. Maybe exactly as per their dream. They want to do one programme with something else. Now may not be possible as an offline programme because we need the expertise, we need the funds may not be possible. And with NPTEL offering its programmes, very standard programmes at such low cost. Maybe we would become one of the most sought out colleges offering students exactly what they want. That is our dream and that too offerings are from reputed institutions. So we want to be associated with all these reputed institutions through NPTEL. So I request the NPTEL team led by Divya madam to take over and give us a session on all these matters and more. Thank you very much. Thank you mom. So we can start the session. Thank you Nancy. I know our staff and students are eagerly waiting to listen to Divya ma'am. Over to you ma'am. Many of you may be familiar with this logo. This is the NPTEL logo. We will start off with it. So NPTEL is today a lot of initiatives put together. It's not just about creating courses and putting it up on the website. But we have certification, not just certification for one course, but it is also clubbing courses together to make it into a domain. For faculty we have FDP courses which fetch you career points. Then we have internship opportunity for students. We have a soft skill training going on for local chapter students and so on. So this is what this presentation will talk about. So you might have all heard about these two terms NPTEL and SWAYAM. So SWAYAM is a project of the ministry, the government of India MHRD and they created this in 2017 and said that all these agencies that you see below, IEM Bangalore, UGC, CEC, NCRT, NITR, AICP they all have to offer courses for certification under SWAYAM. So NPTEL is also a national coordinator under SWAYAM. We primarily offer courses in engineering, the UG level, the bachelor's level, the MTEK ME level, some PhD level courses also. But since we have courses that are there in the management and humanities division inside IITs, we offer that also on NPTEL. NPTEL also coordinates with some institutes like the ISERS to offer say the physics, chemistry, mathematics courses. We work with the triple ITs. We work with national law school Bangalore. We work with some medical institutions to offer medical related courses. So maybe 90% of our courses will be engineering related humanities management and 10% is something else we help. So NPTEL comes under SWAYAM and we coordinate this primarily. There are other agencies also. So one thing to remember when you are going to SWAYAM.gov.in and you try to enroll to any course or you try to join any course, please check whether the national coordinator is NPTEL if you want to join the NPTEL course. Because if you just search for say a database management systems course, maybe there is some other college also offering it with somebody else's coordinating. So the course name that we offer will also be database management system. There's will also be that possibly. So how do you actually differentiate if it's an NPTEL course? On every course card we will have a logo of NPTEL. I showed you when we come there but you can check that and then you can join the course. Okay, that is something that you have to look out for. Okay, NPTEL started in 2003. The vision mission that we have had is to record the content that is being taught to IIT students and put it out for anybody to watch and view so that nobody can say I didn't get a chance to prepare for IITs. I am not in the IITs today. I cannot get access to their knowledge to their teaching. Hence, you know, I denied this opportunity. Nobody can say that today. More than 2000 courses we have in our repository. You can go there and you can actually access the courses for free. You can just go there. You can scroll. You can watch all the videos. We have more than 50,000 hours of video in our website. You can access all that for free. There is no charge. There is no fee at all to access our content. Okay, there's somebody who's asking is NPTEL useful for students of LLB. So National Law School Bangalore NLSIU is offering two courses I think in Jan. I don't know if we have in July we had two courses I think and more are coming in that so specific to law we do have a couple of courses. IIT Kharagpur has a law department. So from there we have some courses coming in but otherwise you can access the general courses that we have also say on management or English those might be useful to you. So whenever you think of a website, what really do you look out for? Say how many people access that website? How much content do we have? In a YouTube also whenever we go to and watch a YouTube video or a YouTube channel, one of the things we look at is how many people have watched that video or how many subscribers are there in that channel. Correct. So this is the NPTEL statistics. We have more than 1.3 billion views of the NPTEL videos. Okay, so this is like huge huge for a technical channel which has no entertainment. You can't call NPTEL videos as entertainment. There is no song and dance or something. It's all faculty from the IITs, IAC teaching, serious stuff there and for that we have more than 1.3 billion views. We have 37 lakh subscribers on our YouTube channel. So any of you has not subscribed to our channel today. I think I would say you're missing out on something. Go to our YouTube channel, subscribe for our updates so that you get it. Go to our social media handles, subscribe to our social media handles so that you get the latest updates from NPTEL and this is where we are today as of NPTEL. Okay, so these are what we do at NPTEL today and if you do an NPTEL course, what is the use of it? So the very first point is credit transfer. I was just talking to Dr. Satish also about it and said that maybe we should try to see whether students can get credit transfer for the courses that you do from NPTEL. But yes, even if you don't get credit transfer, I think you get a lot of knowledge from NPTEL courses. For instance, say what are the kind of courses we have that we would recommend to students in your college, correct? So we will say that we have a lot of programming courses. So we have programming and C, C++, Python, Java programming and all that. So if you are say a BSE physics student or a BA English student, maybe a B.Com student as part of your program in the college, you would not be learning programming possibly. So you can go to NPTEL, you can learn the programming course, you can learn a bit of programming and also get that certificate along with your program.  It's good for you all to know at least something about it, okay? That is the first part. The other thing, okay, what are the other courses we have that is useful for you? If you're planning for higher education, you want to go in for a master's degree. Supposing you want to strengthen your fundamentals, your foundations. You want to maybe do some more courses from other institutes so that you're confident when you're attending interviews. Those courses will be available on NPTEL. So we have all the UG undergraduate courses. You can go through that. You don't even have to write the exam for each of these courses. You can just go through the videos, you can try solving problems, you can watch many videos, try to get knowledge from it and strengthen your foundation. So if you're going for higher education, I would say the courses are really useful. So first thing I'll say, try something like programming courses.  The third thing, try to learn something that is of interest to you which you possibly cannot learn otherwise. For instance, we have courses on German language teaching you German, teaching you Japanese, teaching you Sanskrit. So if you want to learn any of these, you can come to NPTEL and learn. So for instance, German is taught only by maybe the Goethe Institute and maybe some other institutes. Here the same course is taught but it is free for you and if you want a certificate, you can write the exam but otherwise too, you can learn the German language for free. Same thing, you can learn Japanese language. Why are these useful? Maybe you go to a company that has branches in Germany, Japan, they have opportunities for people to go there but you need to know the language. So at that point, this becomes very useful for you. So you can try to learn other languages also through NPTEL courses. Okay, maybe you're technically very strong, you have good foundations, you have good knowledge in your particular program but maybe your English is not very good. Hence, you're not confident about speaking. We have a lot of courses like soft skills development, soft skills enhancement, how to attend an interview, the body language that you have to have when attending an interview, interpersonal communication skills, leadership skills. So we have a lot of courses like this that you can also go through. It will give you a lot of tips on how to present yourself, how to ready yourself for such situations so that having the knowledge you can also be confident when you talk to somebody and you are presenting or being in an interview. So that's another set of NPTEL courses that we have as part of what we offer. So anybody who wants to learn, I think should be able to get at least two or three courses of their interest that they can join and learn. Joining is free like I said, there is no fee at all, it is all completely free and you can watch it. There are no live classes, these are all recorded lectures, so you can watch at your convenience. If your college time is say 9am to 4pm or something, in the evening you have time, you can sit and watch NPTEL lectures on Saturday Sunday, you can watch it. There will be one assignment every week, you have to solve the assignment and you have to submit it. So that also you get 10 days of time. So you can watch the lectures, you can try solving the assignment, maybe a couple of you friends are joining the same course. You can all sit together, you can learn from each other, you can solve together, take help from your teachers and you can do the NPTEL courses. So there is no such thing as there will be live lectures, maybe you will miss a few lectures because you have college or something. It is all video lectures along with assignment. So the first part is credit transfer and learning from our courses. Apart from it, if you do very well, maybe we should go to the next slides. So this is the credit transfer, I don't want to discuss too much about this because I think your university doesn't have credit transfers, so I will skip this slide. So credit transfer just as a piece of information for maybe the faculty who are out here, IATs do do credit transfer from NPTEL courses. We do it at the BTEC level, we do it at the master's level for PhD working professionals, for them to get credit transfer also we do it. So IATs also do credit transfer from NPTEL courses. It is not just the outside colleges that have to do, we ourselves do credit transfer from NPTEL courses. This is an important thing I would say. So we have a program by which the toppers in the courses actually get internship opportunity with the faculty in the IATs. So whoever has offered that course, they take in normally about 2, 3, 5 interns during summer or winter if you are a topper in the course. So if you do a course very well and you become a topper in the certification course, then we give you an opportunity to intern with the faculty. So we are trying to scale up these numbers, COVID hit us also so we could not get them, but we hope it will be at least 200, 300 students who can intern at the IATs with the faculty. So this is a wonderful opportunity for you to come and stay in the city, be in the IAT Madras or IAT Kanpur or IAT Karakpur or IAT Bombay lab. You get to interact with the faculty members there, you interact with their PhD scholars there. You can do all of this which will be wonderful if you are especially thinking about going for higher studies. You will get the idea of what is done in these institutes. I think it's a really good opportunity for students outside of the IATs to come in and experience the IATs here. So there is internship. Then we also do soft skill training. So there are many colleges who provide it on their own, but there are also some colleges who do not have this training for the students. So if college students in local chapters, they participate in NPTEL courses, then for those students we are providing soft skill training. So this training is of two types. We do a one week training or we do a two week training depending on how much time the student can spare and the college also wants the students to do. So here we have group discussion practice. We ask you to write your resume and we give input on the resume. We ask you all to present about yourselves, give feedback about how you should talk, where you should look, your body language and so on. And there are also a one on one. Like every student will get half an hour with a trainer to discuss about how they should also do. So the right side photo you see is a one on one where we do mock interviews. We try to simulate an interview and see how you're responding and then give feedback on how you should do better in your interview. So we do soft skill training for students who do NPTEL courses. So this is something that we do from NPTEL again. If you look at numbers, we have finished soft skill training for more than 2000 students currently. And we are doing about 10 colleges a month and we hope to scale it up. So if you're, I don't know, Pederpally College has done it, but yes, we can extend it to y'all also and we can get it done. Okay. So there's a seven or 14 day training program that I was talking about next. Okay. So somebody was asking, will we get jobs with these NPTEL courses? How is it helpful to us? And so on. When we do surveys of NPTEL students and where they have gotten placed. These are the companies that they have gotten placed so far. This is like some of the companies are on. It's not all the companies that they've gotten placed for, but they have said that the NPTEL courses have really helped them when they went for the interviews. When they show a certificate to the interviewer and say, I did a course with the IITs, I got so much marks in that course, it really does help in the job interview. So those people also ask questions on that, assuming you've studied well and you can answer. It will definitely help you that outside of the college syllabus, you have done something more to learn and skill yourself. Also companies approach us and ask us, do we have students in particular areas that we can send them their resumes? So we also collect resumes of students on our site and if they're interested, we send these out to the companies and the companies call them for interviews, go through their levels of recruitment. And we have been able to place NPTEL students from our side also in some companies. So we are still working on it. I hope this will increase. We are talking with more companies on this front. But otherwise, even if you have like two or three courses from NPTEL and the certificates for it, I think it will be hugely useful because of the logos we put on the certificate. The next one, there are a lot of students, learners, faculty who do multiple courses with us. There are people who do the courses, maybe they do three courses in a semester, four courses in a semester. They are toppers into a three courses every semester. There are people who have done a lot of courses with us. I'll maybe show you the data in the next one. But this is another type of recognition we give to NPTEL learners. So you can go to NPTEL website and at the top we have a link called NPTEL stars. So click on that link, click on any of this. You will see how many people are actually doing multiple courses with us. So if students are thinking, oh, I don't have time and I'm so busy, I can't do it. You should just see these pages to see how come these people who are working professionals, who are students in colleges just like you or who are maybe studying or faculty or something. How are they able to get the time to do so many courses? If they can get the time, I think anybody can get the time.  So this page I would say, please go and see. So these are the kind of domain scholars, superstars, evangelists and all we have. We have more than about 3000 as I can just calculate on the fly that we are going to have these people doing multiple courses and they are NPTEL stars with us today. So there is something called domain certification that we have currently come up with in the last two years. So what is a domain? So a domain we have created just to club courses together and maybe about five or six courses we have put together. We say that if you study this six courses and you get more than 60 in the course in each course not just pass it by getting a 40 then you get a domain scholar certificate. So why is this important? This is important because it shows that you have specialized in a particular area. So for instance, we have a programming domain. So in the programming domain we have courses such as C, C++, Python, database management course and then maybe cloud computing course and so on. So if you do a programming domain and you do all the six courses it shows that you have a solid foundation in this particular area. So when you go for an interview and you actually show a domain certificate versus just one or two certificates from us that will make more of an impact on the interviewing person. So this is something we recommend. It is more just to guide students on what to study to become to become and specialize in one particular area. We found that many NPTEL learners do four or five courses but they do random courses that are not connected to each other. So this domain will guide you in what to study if you want to specialize in a particular area. We have about 53 domains today in all branches of engineering, management, English and for faculty we have a faculty domain basic and advanced also so that you can also go through that part of it. So you can go to our website there are more details on domains there. You can we can talk about it later too. So these are some of the domains we have. So for you it might be relevant the English studies we have a domain psychology we have a domain management we have it in marketing operations, patents and intellectual property and economics and of course engineering and all we have a couple of domains. So if you're a general student not an engineering student I would recommend the programming domain for you. If you want to try out something do the programming domain or do the management domain that will be really useful for you. So if you're an engineering student of course you can try any of the domains relevant in your particular discipline of engineering or you can do a cross discipline. So for instance I'm maybe mechanical engineer I like electrical engineering you can actually do the courses in electrical engineering and you can get a domain from there. So here nobody stops you and says hey you're in mechanical engineering department you cannot study electrical engineering say power systems course power electronics course. You're not allowed to study that there is no such thing like that anybody can study any course as long as you can cope with it. So you can also do a cross department study by doing domains from any of what is listed here. This is what a domain certificate looks like we give this we list all the courses you have done and we sign it out of course from the specific IIT that we are giving it from. So how do we do lab courses is it online not really we do it in the institutes we do it in various institutes such as ISRS IIT you can come here you can stay for a week at the institute. You can do the lab experiments you can listen to faculty giving one or two lectures in the day and then do a lab exam and take a certificate. So what is the advantage of this you will get to see really modern labs you will get to see what the state of the art labs are in these institutes. You can see the equipment that is there the modern equipment that is there you can see the advanced research that is happening here. You can interact and get explained on all this equipment so we had very successful labs being run at all these places this is a wonderful opportunity again. If you do the theory course in NPTEL those people we will permit that you can apply and come for these lab certification courses and you can do the workshops here. So that was the idea behind the question we asked you what else do we do at NPTEL this is for faculty in colleges so faculty in colleges under the AICT scheme. We explicitly have an MOU with them where NPTEL advanced courses if you do and pass you will get an AICT approved FTP certificate. So that is for faculty in AICT colleges for those under the UGC scheme they have given a broad guideline that if you do swyme courses there will be some career progression points. But the actual logistics are not sure you'll have to check within your university so that is something that is there. But we see that more than about 20-30 thousand faculty write our exams every semester and most of them apply for the FTP certificates also. This is very very useful for faculty I will say because you don't have to spend money you don't have to take leave you don't have to miss your college work and go to some institute stay for a week or stay for 10 days and then do an FTP course. You can do the FTP course online itself just like the students you join for free on swyme portal you go through the course submit assignments and then you pay the thousand rupees and attend the final exam and get your certificate. Once you get your certificate you can apply for the FTP certificate to us and get that too that's all it takes to do an FTP course with us today. So this is very important for faculty I hope this is clear this is what the FTP certificate looks like you can see that it has the signature of the director from AICT also there is a regulation under which they have approved this the AICT logos there. So this you can present when you are going in for your promotion interviews right. The conversion that they do is a four week NPTEL course is equivalent to half FTP of one week and eight week NPTEL course is a full FTP of one week and a 12 week course is equivalent to one and a half weeks FTP equivalent. So this is the equivalence of it. Okay. Yes. The next thing I wanted to talk about was gate coaching. So we have started a new link on our website and somebody has given us CSR money for developing this and providing whatever I wouldn't call it coaching but just get preparation whatever we can help students with to have and prepare for gate exams free again. We are trying to do from our side so you can go here and we have given solutions to all the previous gate questions. We have given videos solving those questions. We have extra questions that are coming up practice questions that will be coming up small courses linking all the videos that are relevant to date so we will be coming up face one is only over face two and face three we will be coming up within the next six months so keep watching this link on NPTEL website. If you are preparing for the gate exam. Okay. That is one new initiative we have come up with the next initiative exams outside of India. So till 2020 we were doing exams only in India where you have to go to a center and you have to write it and then we got a lot of requests from people outside of India saying they also study from NPTEL courses and they want to write exams with us. So now we help to do that also people outside India can also write exams NPTEL exams and get certificates from us. Okay. Yeah. So translation is the next effort so for people who are asking in what languages do we offer courses the faculty teach only in English for now. But the English transcripts we translate into eight languages. So we do Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali and Marathi. So that's the languages that we are translating it into so Telugu we have a lot of transcripts that are translated into Telugu language. So the faculty will talk in English but you can also read what we have translated in Telugu or Tamil or Hindi whatever is your language and you can understand it better. We are keeping the videos in English so that you also learn English because when you go to work somewhere English will be the primary language you have to communicate in. So this is something we're doing. One or two courses we are getting in regional language for instance this time in January, we are doing a machine learning course in Tamil language the faculty is going to teach in Tamil language. There is a signals and systems course that is coming out in Hindi language in July semester we are getting an R programming course in Hindi language so only two or three we have most are in English, we don't have too many other language courses. So that's something you can check. Let me take a question from the chat there are one or two saying I'm from commerce background I'm from B.com what courses we can take. So for B.com students we do have a lot of accounts related courses you can check those out go to management department I'll show you how to filter and learn from it, you can go there and you can see how to do it so you can check out management related courses. In which we have accounts related commerce economics related courses that's something you can learn. Or if you're learning all that anyway in your college right, I would strongly recommend programming courses for your learn at least one programming language to know what is programming how do people program. Whether you write the exam or not I would say please write the exam but yes even if you don't write the exam at least try a course do the assignment see whether you can do something about it. If you're not doing that I would propose the English courses I would propose the, you know, the German language or the Japanese language course that you can learn from those are what we have quite a few for you to choose from I would say more than 100 we would have for become level students at least. Okay. Yeah. So these are translation how many courses we have in each language so in Telugu we have 48 courses that are translated for now. So that's what we have. We have also something called special lecture series. So we also have industry people come in and present lectures. So these are again free to watch very interesting topics very very distinguished people who come and present lectures these are vice president CEO CTOs of companies like IBM, Camp Germany, Infosys that we've had in the past IAS officers who have come and spoken to us film directors who's come and spoken to as journalist in the Hindu director at Hindu entrepreneurs. So I would really say you should go and watch these lectures when you have time, even if you missed it last year it's okay, but listening to such people is very inspirational you know what they have done, how they have worked how they have brought up new companies how they have started a company where did they get their idea from. These are all really interesting to listen to. I would say please go back and listen to some of these lectures. It will give you a tremendous amount of information knowledge and maybe there will be some topic to talk about also when somebody asks you something it will widen your knowledge base. Okay. This is something that you can see. And if you are wondering saying how many students study how many courses right maybe you think some students study only one or two courses and that's all we can do that's what is useful right. Look at this there is one learner who has done 47 NPTEL exams with us. That's as good as a degree program or more than the degree program that all of you are doing how many courses you'll do that. I don't know maybe if you're doing a BSE it's a six into six maybe 36 courses or if it's a BTEC also if I say six courses per semester it's about 48 so he's an equivalent to that okay. So there is one learner who's done 47 exams 34 exams 33 exams 32 exams and so on so you can see maximum people yes 5.6 lakhs do one exam but there are 1.4 lakhs who are doing two exams 48000 doing three and if you look up to 10 exams even right. A lot of them are doing 10 exams 8 exams with us so maybe you should think about and plan for how you're going to study which courses you're going to do as you are in college and every semester try to do at least one or two NPTEL courses and finish with a certificate that will be really nice that you can do that with your college okay. This is something we wanted to say who are these people who are doing these courses. They are employed their faculty members their students all people like you so it's not like these people come suddenly from somewhere or they're also special they are so privileged nothing like that they are there in all towns in all kinds of environment. They also have their constraints but they are also studying from these courses and doing multiple courses okay. This is what the certificate looks like it has the swyam logo and it has the okay it has the NPTEL logo. Then it has your photo on the certificate it has as you can see the elite tag the gold medal we've just put it here to say if you fall under these categories you can see all these coming on your certificate then the institutes of IIT Madras offers the course. At the bottom where the institute logo and round this book you can see IIT Madras logo there IIT Madras the name will be put there signatures from our side will come and so on so this is the way that you can see how the certificate looks. We had 20 lakh people who joined our courses in January semester 20 lakhs who joined our July semester and in 2021 we had 16 lakhs who joined the Jan semester 16 lakhs who joined our July semester so it's not 5000 it's not 10,000 it's not 1 lakh like I'm seeing on the chat window here but it is 16 lakhs who was our enrollment number last semester. Out of these exams those who have written over the last five years it is 15.1 lakh people have registered for exams with us and they've gotten so our total enrollment in NPTEL today is 1.58 crores over the last seven years from when we are running this certification project. We have finished 3500 courses almost and enrollment is 1.58 crores 15 lakhs exam registration that's the thing so you can see how big NPTEL is. NPTEL is not something that we are doing 100, 200, 500 people or something like that every semester when we conduct exams in March and April it's 3 lakh people who write our exams. So that's the level at which we conduct exams all over the country in about 170 cities we conduct exams outside India like we said so this is our data. So if somebody tells you okay I haven't heard of NPTEL you should really tell them saying that 15 lakh people enroll every semester and 3 lakh people write exams how come you're missing out you know that's the answer I will give them. Okay you can see a lot of feedback about NPTEL on our social media handles we keep regularly posting about it. We are present on Instagram, on Facebook, on YouTube community and you can see all the feedback that we have posted there about people have gotten jobs, people have gotten through the soft skill training, who have done our courses, course feedback everything is available here so do subscribe to our social media handles so that you can get updates from our site. Okay I'll just give a brief on NPTEL local chapter because I don't know how many of you are faculty from different colleges who are not a local chapter with us. So NPTEL works with about 4,500 colleges today across the country and we have co-ordinators in each of these colleges who are called a single point of contact or SPOCs and through them is how we are so successful. Thanks to all the local chapter SPOCs whoever is watching this workshop today was not watching the workshop today whoever is anywhere they are the champions for NPTEL within the colleges without them. I don't think NPTEL would have grown so much so thanks to all the SPOCs of the local chapters and I would like to just briefly say how you can become a local chapter if there's somebody watching who's not at a local chapter. So to become an NPTEL local chapter there is no money involved there is no financial dealing you just need to send us an email saying that you want to become a local chapter there's a Google form in the website fill it up and we need a co-ordinator in your college who will be our local champion. So the head of the institution the director the principal whoever has to send an email saying that we would like to become a local chapter and so and so will be the single point of contact for NPTEL and that's all. Once we receive the email we verify some details and we will make you a local chapter. So what why should you become a local chapter can students and faculty from colleges who are not local chapters participate in NPTEL yes totally you can participate you can be a free learner you can learn from our courses without belonging to a local chapter. But having a local chapter in a college is a big advantage. There are logins that the single point of contact to the SPOC has one is a login on svayam portal one is a login on our NPTEL website and here they get information related to enrollment exam registration the marks the transcripts the certificates. All of this is given to the SPOC directly that they can actually see and they can share with their management. Also the other benefits are if we don't have a center in your particular city you can request for that if they have more than 200 people writing exams we can facilitate centers in your particular city. Faculty can become mentors you can follow the progress of your students in the colleges that you can do. Another important thing I will say is we have CSR support from companies who also give us money to help students from economically weaker backgrounds to write exams. So this fee waiver we give only to local chapters. So if you're a local chapter and you have students who come from economically weak backgrounds if they are doing NPTEL courses writing exams. Once they pass it we will refine 50% of the fee to them based on the colleges recommendation. So that is something that you can do also all this data that we give to the SPOC can be directly shared with bodies such as NAC and NBF and they come for accreditation. And you can say that we are showing this data inside your dashboard that has also been very helpful for colleges is what we came to know. These are local chapters that we have this is a state-wise distribution. I think Maharashtra is a high as followed by Tamil Nadu and of course we have these telling Anna comes in maybe four seventh position with 234 local chapters currently. Okay, every semester we also we have some few local chapters outside of India and some countries they're not very active but yes they do keep using our courses as they can. We also rate local chapters every semester based on the participation from their side in the particular semester. So how many people have become top as how many people have written exams how many people have, you know, done well based on it we also rank and rate the college local chapters and we publish this list publicly. on our website every semester. Other interactions with local chapter people we do soft skill training like I already spoke about it. We take help of people here to go to exam centers as our representatives faculty can help in translation effect efforts and yes, like I said we rate it and we give recognition to the SPOC and the college also every semester. So these are certificates that we give them based on the formula that we have to the college and the SPOC. Yeah, these are other categories that we have on based on faculty participation based on how local chapters improve semester after semester. There's a separate category part science colleges also yeah star LC who have been in the top 10 or top 100 over the last four years that's something that we have done. That's it as a presentation that we had today so I hope you learned about NPTEL about what we do here. The NPTEL office, the head office is in IIT Madras we have our head office here about 70 people work in NPTEL office in IIT Madras we have smaller offices in IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, IIT Gaha, IIT Bombay, Delhi and ISC Bangalore also and we all work together to keep this project going it's one of the most successful inter institutional project that eight institutes come together to work on this project and kind of run it without a break and to kind of offer two thousand courses that we have today that's what we want to say. So my suggestion and you can say maybe I'm old enough to advise all the young students out here also is try out NPTEL courses today go and go to Swayam website, join a few courses learn from it sample the videos there you may or may not be able to follow certain videos you may not like certain courses maybe some courses are difficult it's okay you can drop off it is not like a college course that once you join a course you have to be in that course you have to complete that course otherwise somebody will think something somebody will ask you something or maybe a paid fees that will get wasted there is nothing like that in an NPTEL course so you can join even five courses you can join even ten courses and you can try out week one videos you can see what you're interested in and then shortlist it to maybe one or two courses follow it up see whether you're able to do assignments maybe it even comes down to one course in a semester but follow it till the end do all the assignments watch all the videos register for the exam do the exam and become a topper in it I think that's something that is very very doable I hope you were able to get that message as we presented in the last one and a half hours that is what we were trying to tell you that don't be afraid that these courses are from IITs I cannot do it it will be very difficult there are 15 lakh people who have written exams with us so far it is not like all of them are coming out from IITs or they are all like very well accomplished they are all coming from highly studious background something like that they are also students just like you in any college what you need is the interest to study what you need is the motivation you have to put out time it is not like two days before the NPTEL exam let me study and get a certificate you will not get a certificate every week you have to watch videos every week you have to do the assignment then you can definitely get a certificate so you need hard work and it will pay off okay but it is not like I cannot do it there is no such thing as I cannot do an NPTEL course anybody can do an NPTEL course we showed you people from age 86 years doing NPTEL courses we showed you people from all nook and corners of the country doing NPTEL courses there is local language translation support of transcripts in some courses that will help you understand the subject better your faculty are there to help you if you do not understand something your friends are there to help you if you all join a course together discussion forum is there ask questions ask doubts if you have something there but try out and learn something which is outside of your college curriculum today when companies are looking for recruitment one of the things they see is okay your college degree is there apart from this what have you done that is something that all of them are looking at are you able to learn on your own are you able to study outside of college curriculum are you picking up any skills that are relevant for any job you might be trying for this is something that companies do look out for it is not just a resume saying BSE with this VA with this that might be one thing but then we look at okay what else what else what else that is something that all of us look out for when we are recruiting people so it might be good to have a few certifications to at least get your skills enhanced to learn what you're interested in to try and explore new opportunities that are there it is free there is no fee to learn you can download and watch the videos you can download and do the courses you can enroll in only the final exam has a thousand rupees fee that also we are giving fee waivers if you're a local chapter so you can use that also you have to pay first get your exam done pass the course we will be able to help you with three waivers on that front also so don't let money be a barrier don't let anything else be a barrier put in your time put in your effort learn from NPTEL gets killed and I hope you do much much better tell them all the best and I hope that all of you do enroll to a course thanks thank you thank you Barthi ma'am for your wonderful presentation my request video is that since many students are watching this video can you give some practical one on five minutes how to log in how to register is there any possibility of giving the practical demo on getting into NPTEL courses just for five to ten minutes if possible hello yes ma'am yes ma'am let me share my screen ma'am please wait for few seconds let me share my screen please log into your course window first of all go to svayam portal svayam.gvp.in click sign in and register so instead of going with the username and password so you have to click with google option then you have to give your mail ID that is endowed mail ID I am giving my mail ID so I have logged in so you can search your course so what are the disciplines you can search so these are all the disciplines architecture, design, engineering, technology, health sciences so these are the disciplines so I am taking engineering and technology, computer science and engineering so here there are a number of courses under that computer science and engineering so here they are CEZ provider and the NPTEL then other coordinators courses are also available in this plugin so you can choose NPTEL courses suppose I am choosing constraints at stratification so you have to click this so you can see the join option so you have to click join so these are all the basic details you have to give for the enrollment so name and then phone number and then you are the endowed mail ID so this mail ID should be you have to use the same mail ID for the registration also so these are the age, gender and then country, pin port so these are all the basic details so suppose if the students are enrolling for the courses list they have to select student and then higher qualification what are the qualifications so they have to give and then year of graduation these are all the basic details suppose if the faculty are enrolling for the courses list they have to click faculty and then highest qualification so these are all they have to give and then this is the new term in svayam so suppose this abc means academic bank upgrade suppose if the students have abc code means then I have to click I have abc code and then they have to give abc code and suppose if they have not abc code means they have to allow svayam to create abc ID so what is the purpose of this abc means that credits should be shared with their colleges and then wherever they are doing the course that credits will be transferred so this is the purpose of this abc suppose if they do not need any abc means they can click do not need abc ID so now I am clicking do not need abc ID so here this is the major part in enrolling so here part of the svayam local chapter they have to yes students have to click yes so this is how suppose if the student have selected no means that students will not be come under your college so click pay is and then local chapter state that is your college state and then karnataka and then your college name so this is the discipline so suppose if the students belong to which discipline they have to select so I am selecting engineering and then department so these are all the basic details so here I have to click I agree to svayam and then I agree to follow them so now we have to click update profile and then join course so this is the basic enrollment for the course so once you enroll it move to the course page that is svayam course page so this is the course page so these are the announcements so what are the npt announcements will come under this menu and then about the course so it move to the course page and then ask a question so suppose if you have any query means you can click ask a question and then if I post your queries and then progress tab yeah these are all assignments course will be comes under this menu and then mentor yeah these are the mentor session and then review assignments they are able to see the assignments here so now I am going to register main course so here click here to register for the exam suppose if you have enrolled for the course you want to register for the exam now I am clicking here to register for the exams so please note that you have to log in only through the incognito motet so if you click the details of the google chrome browser click the new incognito window yeah this is the dashboard of exam form then you have to go to personal info yeah these are all the basic details so already I have done with the registration so that it is like this so it is such the same basic details name, data but and then address and then mobile number alternative mobile number, gender and then password size photo and then signature and then id pro so here you have to upload your password photo the size should be 50k to 150k the same as signature also and then id proof it must be 50k meter to mp so suppose if the students comes under xcst category means so they have to click yes and then they have to upload their proof suppose if the community certificate so they have to upload here so once it is approved from their nptl end they will process the next step so I click no and then suppose the person with the disability means they have to click yes and then they have to upload their which category they have where from so they have to click and then they have to upload their particular document then role, student faculty employed so they have to click so here writing the exam in outside India suppose if the student is taking the exam in outside India means they have to click yes so we are in incognito India so we have to click no so these are the basic details how did you know the nptl end and then process to matter whatever it will be this is for the employees and then what is your motivation so these are all the basic details so we have to click this checkbox and here they contact and then click save and continue so please don't forget to save then so this is the major part for our country and then state your college state so please note that the student must be select the correct state so you have to select Varnataka and then college city I think Dakshina Kannada yes Dakshina Kannada and then you have to select your college so the student must be select a well so they should not click other and then they should not type your college that is interior long that students will not be come under your college so they have to select your college so they are college students college then department so these are all the basic details and then here is the next important role to take them so suppose if the student wants to transfer their credits to your college so they have to click yes yes they have to I am taking this exams for credit transfer and then I want to share my score with my college so both should be yes suppose if the students are not taking the course for their credit transfer means they can click no so students must select their credit transfer as case and then share their college share their score with their college then they have to click yes then they have to click I agree and then understand that means registration papers they have to click they want to continue then they can add course so what are all the courses under your logic so we can choose I am I choose constraints and then exam day then 26 so some of the course for example yeah I am choosing this type of computing the exam dates there are two the course will be available for the two days to take the exam suppose if we choose I can choose 28 is a 29 so they have two options those who are taking the joy of computing course so they have two option to take exams they can take 28 or 29 then we add course then next part select exam cities and then first preference and then second preference so this is how they have to select states so the students first preference they are going to take exams suppose the students belong to other statements the students want to take exam in the higher state suppose your students belong to Kerala means they can choose Kerala the particular students are going to take exam in Kerala only so we will allocate Kerala then calculate so this is how the exam allocations will be then confirm and then third preference suppose you take them see if you charge this moment you are not available you will be allocated to third exam city so please careful on this you have to choose very carefully by choosing this preferences because once you even we cannot change this then you have to click confirm and then finally you have you can review so what are the details you have you can review then finally the payment I agree to all the books and then they can make the payment so this is how the students can enroll and then enroll and then registration thank you thank you for taking up the practical session and definitely I am sure that of my students and the staff who would get benefit from this okay thanks a lot so shall we wind up shall we conclude okay mom we can conclude the session to be answered any questions in the chat box any questions ma'am because I can't make out here okay if there are no if there are no questions so let me conclude this program by proposing what up thanks I deem it a great privilege in proposing the vote up thanks first and foremost I would like to thank Lord almighty for sharing his blessings in conducting this workshop smoothly and successfully at the outset I like to I would like to I would like to thank Barthi madam for taking up the session and enlightening us on NPTEL and its courses thank you ma'am since your thanks are due to Divya and Priyadeshan for coordinating for this program since your thanks are also due to our principal doctors Veniza she was an instrumental in initiating this workshop thank you sister for your welcome address I have to acknowledge the support extended by Dr Nancy was thank you Nancy I take this opportunity to thank our enthusiastic staff and students for attending this workshop I am sure henceforth more number of our students will take up the NPTEL courses and as their knowledge and contribute to the college in a great scale my special thanks are also due to Mr Mohan Mr Rohan for his technical support thank you thank you one and all thank you ma'am we can wind up position thank you all thank you Divya ma'am and Priyadeshan also thank you ma'am should we stop the live stream yes thank you


This is a video about graphing First the XY coordinate plane. It's made from a horizontal number line called the x-axis and a vertical number line called the y-axis these axes Intersect at a point called the origin So the point of section is called the origin and it's represented by the ordered pair zero zero Now on this coordinate plane we plot ordered pairs Two numbers separated by a comma enclosed within parentheses The first number will be the x-coordinate. The second number will be the y-coordinate On the coordinate plane We have four regions called quadrants quadrant one is in the top right followed by quadrant two three and four in a counterclockwise fashion So let's do some graphing practice I'm going to graph the point three negative seven so my x-coordinates three my y-coordinates negative seven That means on the x-axis we will go right three and Then we will go vertical movement will be down seven three negative seven That is point a That is located in quadrant four Point B seven zero so my horizontal movement seven positive seven and There is no vertical movement. So I have zero point C negative four two That's left four down to and that's going to be in quadrant three Point B is actually directly on the x-axis Now let's find out the ordered pair for each of the points starting with point Q So on the graph we identified point Q of horizontal movements negative two the vertical movements four So negative two or Point R. We have left three so negative three and down three. So also negative three Point S You go right four and up six So four six is the ordered pair for point s Now we're gonna move into graphing linear equations But first we want to figure out what is a linear equation exactly? How do you know if something is a linear equation? Well, that is if the highest power on each variable x and y is one So in part a negative three x plus four y equals two Everything's good x has a power of one y has a power of one. So the answer is yes. It is linear Part B. You have y squared equals x minus five since it's y squared The power of two makes it no not a linear equation Part C to y equals x minus four the highest power on x and y is one in both cases. So the answer there is yes In general we are going to use these solutions to obtain ordered pairs or use these equations to obtain ordered pairs By coming up with solutions x y ordered pairs that satisfy the equation So for instance in the linear equation y equals three times x if X is negative one I can literally plug in negative one for x into the equation to figure out what y is So y equals three times x or three times negative one negative three So my ordered pair is negative one negative three That is going to be a point on the line Or at a point that satisfies this linear equation Y is zero so now y equals three x we let y equals zero so zero equals three x Solve the equation dividing both sides by three And it looks like you get zero equals x Zero zero is the ordered pair Next y is negative nine so I have negative nine equals three x Divide both sides by three and then I'll get negative three equals x So there's another ordered pair linear equations graph lines So if I was to graph these points, they should form a line. You only need two points to form a line, but Three is also a good checks and balances to use so negative one negative three Zero zero and then negative three negative nine notice all three points line up with each other Connect the dots and you've graphed yourself a line Linear equations always form lines when they're graphed Next equation y equals one half x minus five when x is negative two what is y well What's one half times negative two minus five? What is negative one minus five that is negative six so negative two negative six What happens when x is zero y equals one half times zero minus five Zero minus five is negative five X is zero in the ordered pair and y is negative five What happens when y is zero? Well, what is x? So this will be working backwards. We have zero equals one half x minus five Add five to both sides Five equals one half x Multiply everything by two you get ten equals x so ten zero is the ordered pair Let's plot these points Hopefully they do form a line because this is a linear equation starting with negative two negative six zero negative five And ten zero That's a way out here. All right, so those are the three points. They do form a line connect the dots There you have it. There's a line Now we use the equation 3x plus y equals 12 to complete each ordered pair So when x is zero what is y? Well three times zero plus y equals 12 Zero plus y equals 12 guess that means y equals 12 Zero 12 is the ordered pair Part B X is unknown y is six. So we have 3x plus six equals 12 Solve the equation here 3x equals six Divide both sides by three x equals two so two six is the ordered pair Part C Negative one is x what is the coordinate we need for y to satisfy the equation and find the full ordered pair? Well three times negative one plus y equals 12 negative three plus y equals 12 Add three to both sides Why equals 15? So the ordered pair is negative one 15 So that's a little introduction to graphing and how to graph linear equations and complete ordered pairs for Thanks for watching


but anybody can write whatever they want, nobody's being paid to write for it. You've been laughed out of the room.  But it's also the case that for a long time there were claims that, oh, if you publish this it's going to make it much harder and more expensive to do tests because people will be prepared. In any event it killed the other one. This is not a unique story, right? This is not a unique story. We go back 20 years, I love the story Don was telling because it actually now easily and happily tells me the story 20 years before that as well. The thing is who was yesterday's innovator is not the critical prediction of who will be tomorrow's innovator. When you buy 65 companies in 65 months you have a theory of where innovation happens and it's not not invented here. It's specifically not invented here, right? It's the opposite of the not invented here syndrome. It's the embrace of that. And what I want to identify for you, and I've spent a lot of time in the last 15 years or so, emphasizing very much the importance of non-market activity, to innovation, to freedom, to a rich culture. But part of what's interesting about this cluster of facts of life is that they come both from the non-market and from the market, but from the edge when they come from the market, from the small scale, from the new, from the innovative. And the critical thing, obviously, is how do we get that level of experimentation that runs forward? Essentially, if you look at what Cure and Sable described as the second industrial divide, the rise of the large firm integrated across multiple markets with wider scale, what we got was it was too expensive for decentralized innovation. Certainly, when it was not market, I mean, you continuously have fans and enthusiasts and you have the stories of the Cornish miners, but this is, of course, in the first industrial divide. You have that and you have Eric von Hippel's great work on bites and windsurfers, but mostly what you have are firms and governments to some extent very large nonprofits like universities but with government funding or with non-profit funding. What you see today, obviously, is a radical decentralization of the physical capital of information, knowledge, and cultural production. And for the first time since that industrial revolution, the most important inputs into the core economic activities of the most advanced economies are widely distributed.
