Today I will be discussing with you about the Head and Neck Cancers, its causes, its incidence prevalence, its treatment, newer strategies and all the things about Head and Neck Cancers. As this is almost 30% of all the cancers in the men in India are Head and Neck Cancers. This itself is a heterogeneous group which includes cancers of the oral cavity, oropharynx, nasopharynx, larynx, hyperpharynx and salaried gland tumors. Other part of the Head and Neck tumors they can be like thyroid, they can be esophagus, they can be brain tumors and they can be parathyroid cancers. But because of the different biology and the different treatments of course these are to be discussed separately. Today we will be discussing only about the oral cancer. So oral cancer in India is one of the most common Head and Neck cancer. The reason we all know most common reason is the tobacco consumption which is rampant all across the rural India which is the chewable tobacco and in urban India which is the smoking. Second most common thing is the alcohol consumption, heavy alcohol consumption. And alcohol and tobacco together they increase the chances of this thing more and more. Other risk factors like there can be environmental exposure like the occupational hazards, others are like there are a few infections which are coming up more like the human papillomavirus infection which is generally responsible for the oropharyngeal cancers, others are the upstream bar viruses which are basically responsible for the nasopharyngeal cancers. So forth and so on there are different multiple causes which we cannot like elaborate in such a small time. So coming on to the oral cancer, oral cancer comprises of the cancers of the tongue, the buccal mucosa, the palate, the gingiva, retromolar tricones and outside it can be over the lip. So as we have discussed the causes, so they are now coming on to the treatment diagnosis of these tumors. For the diagnosis most of these tumors they are basically spharmacal carcinomas because the aero digestive tract has a common mucosa and almost 90 to 95 percent of these tumors are spharmacal carcinoma, though they behave differently despite having the same common origin. Second part is for diagnosis we have to do a biopsy. Biopsy can be either an incision biopsy, it can be an excision biopsy, it can be a punch biopsy. So by doing a biopsy we took a small piece of the tumor and sent it for the examination for the confirmation and the diagnosis. Second is once we have confirmed that it is a tumor which is coming from the either from the tongue or palate or somewhere else, we need to do some radiological investigations. That may include CCT or MRI and sometimes we use PET CT also for the whole body scan. Once we are through with this diagnosis and the staging of the disease, here comes the part treatment part. The most common treatment which we entails for oral cavity cancer is the surgical modality. Surgical modality can be in the form of the open surgery and sometimes we can use robotic surgery also but most commonly that is for the oropharyngeal and the laryngeal cancers not for the oral cavity cancer. So other different treatment modalities include radiation oncology and medical oncology and sometimes nuclear medicine too. Radiation oncology is the primary treatment in the oropharyngeal, in the hyperpharyngeal and the laryngeal cancers but in oral cavity surgery is the primary modality and we need adjuvant radiotherapy depending upon the stage of the tumor. Now once we are through with this that we have diagnosed, we have staged, we have treated, now comes the follow-up and the rehabilitation. That is one of the most important part and one of the most neglected part as the and the part of the patient and the part of the doctor. So we have to be very careful about the post-operative rehabilitation that includes speech and swelling and other things regarding the appearance of the patient. Yeah I would like to add, in the end I would like to add two lines on the prevention of this cancer. The most common way of preventing is stopping tobacco consumption. For which we are also, government is also doing, we are also doing some help regarding we have good counseling sessions are also there for stopping tobacco and for stopping alcohol also we have a clinical psychologist in-house who can give good counseling regarding these patients. So we have all the facilities in-house including the PET CT, CET, MRI along with the best of the state of the traditional quality machines and the chemo take care and all the facilities for the surgery, modularities, robotic surgery we are also having in many power hospitals. So if anybody would like to have a consult regarding their problem, they are welcome to do so. Thank you.


The likelihood if you get to a facility like this, the chances of that casually being okay, pretty darn good, because we're awesome. What you do is you give all of us a high degree of confidence and assurance that the medical underpinning of the enterprise is not going to let us down. What you worry about is on a bad day if you want this team. We understand together supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States of America.


CMP that talent management aspect is something you've discussed many times in your writing and at your all-hands calls and You talk about the need to develop new tools and approaches for talent management What will that mean for sailors going forward that seems like a very future? Concept and what's driving that now? Yeah, well, I don't know how much time do we have? A while executive summary executive summary. I'll try to get to it pretty quick, but I fundamentally it's I Look at the system that we have today, and it reminds me of an old 57 Chevy That has a great need of a new engine. We need to put more horsepower in that in that car We need to put modern electronics in it We need to take it to the 21st century our current personnel system was built back in the 1940s And we haven't changed a whole lot other than the whole all-volunteer force in the 70s and Goldwood or Nichols in the 80s So it's pretty much fundamentally the same car And it's time to upgrade it and the C&O and I have talked about the information system Which is a little bit cumbersome today slow And so people at the deck plates and people in Washington and Millington do not have the data Available to them to make quick smart decisions and instead we rely we rely quite frankly on using crayons and Hammering chisel to get in information passed around so that that's the fundamental difference That that I see coming and the change is going to take some time to make But there are also several things we've got in motion today That I think will help sellers and chain of commands work on Being able to manage that talent in the future much better. That's an important point Sorry for cutting in but but when we look at all of our weapons systems that our kids are out there operating We always have a plan to upgrade it the computers are upgraded You know the the processors the networks we haven't done that the personnel system We have to do that and he's made that Very aware to me and we're we're gonna pull together and get this right


Hi everyone, Joe for jaskiescasebreaks.com. Happy Thursday coming at you with a Chronicles fat pack from 2020 This is Ram team break number 33 at the end We're re-randomizing your names and giving away two of those 18 box divisional mixer spots I think that's like a $750 value or something crazy like that Get a whole division which is pretty nice not a bad break at all either big Thanks to this group here for making it happen. So there'll be two dice rolls First dice roll will be for the break itself the pack Right here and the second dice roll will be for the giveaway part. So two different randomizers So let's do the first one first first things first five into two seven times for names and teams one two three four six Six six and seven then found out missed the button All right five into two seven times for the teams one two three four five six and Seven then final time after seven. We've got the Texans down to the Titans And no trade windows in these we just want to get to the giveaway part as quickly as possible, but could there be surprises in a pack like this? Yes We have seen it happen before Could be some some two was in here. It could be some perverts There's the charges right there Could be some bangles Who knows so let's just quickly print and rip There's the pack right there, and if you're watching live We just have to do one more of these packs Fill to and sell to spot straight up then we're in breaksville or I guess we don't have to sell spot straight We can do a third filler either way We'll pivot to whatever makes the whatever helps make the break go a little more quickly as quick as possible You want to get to breaksville ASAP all right big. Thanks everyone once again here. Let's see what we got Antonio Gibson Hand naturally kind of sits right here and it's center grain This is as good as it's gonna get There's a to a Darnell Mooney Antonio Gibson another to a and a third to a and a Jordan love Got some QBs here Jake from State Farm and Henry rugs All right, that's not bad. So Jordan love goes to Chris and the Packers Could be the future after a I guess whenever Aaron Rodgers leaves and three to a Tungo by Lois It's been involved in a little trade chatter. So Let's see what happens there Miami Jason Asher gets that one this one and The Chronicles bronze parallel one there you go. So hopefully he Does well come back from a little bit of an injury. All right Now let's flip back to this screen. Let's grab everybody's names once again New dice roll new list and it's just the top two after 12 6 and a 6 top 2 after 12 We'll be in that mixer one two three seven eight nine ten 11 and 12th and final time after 12 It's only the top two. So 30 sad people 30 sad spots From three on down Very close Carlos, but I appreciate everybody getting in. Thank you Listen again, we got to do one more of these at least so If it first you don't succeed try again, it's a tough one to win spots a lot of finger crossing here All right top two very happy for the top two. You have a division in the in that mixer Jason Asher gets the three to us at a mixer spot and Jason Asher again Wow clean sweep for Jason go buy a lottery ticket. I'm Joe for Jasper's casewrakes.com I'll see you a little bit later tonight for the mixer. Bye. Bye

That is beautiful Get a Mac on that as well Like that one Alrighty guys that will do it that will do it for obsidian that one was


Yeah, first of all, I apologize because it's not finished. This is going to be a chapter of my thesis, but now it's just a skeleton. I promised myself it was going to be finished, but it's not finished. My thesis is about metalwork in the BFHK, very traditional. I'm trying to make a database and trying to find patterns in time and space. But at some point, when I was working with this, some people started to tell me that people were going from Brittany to Galicia in the Bronze Age just to get some metalwork and you were assuming that because you have only some similarities. That's very dangerous, that's very complicated and people didn't believe me that people were doing that just based in metalwork. So that's why I decided to write this chapter about mobility in this period of time in the BFHK. And I realized that by doing that, I was going also to see how easy or difficult it is to move through the space and patterns in the metalwork were going to become more clear. So what I decided to do is to focus in these three things. And when I started to do this, I realized that in fact, there are things that do not only affect people in the Bronze Age, but are affecting people in many different periods. In other words, the roots people follow winds, currents, the boats, they are used for long periods of time, longer than the Bronze Age. So what I decided is to focus on how they change through time, find patterns there in that chapter and then apply that to my to my database. But my problem was, okay, so what half income people traveling at different periods of time, they have different ideologies, different economic systems. And that's when a brothel came very, very handy. So what I'm doing is considering these two things as structures, the boats, the physical geography, the roots, that change through time very slowly, they overlap, you know, archaeological traditional periods like Aaron Age, Bronze Age, but they are there and they change. So my plan is to see how these two things change in the way of escape through time and how they interact with each other and how people from different periods, travelers from different chronologies are connected through them. I'm going to start with the physical geography and the roots and then finally the boats and at the end the conclusions. So the coastlines, this is a complicated issue, very complicated really. At first I thought it was going to be very straightforward, but no, because when things change in an area, there are also local changes that are not the same in the entire region. So I don't know if it's someplace, you know, for some reason, the sea level goes down in the next place, it's going to go up for some other reason. So it's quite complicated, but lucky me, apparently from regional studies and local studies of the VFSK, after the sixth millennia BC, fourth millennia BC, things have been quite steady and apparently things have changed in certain places like Brest and the past country, apparently things have changed more in the last 200 years than in the last 3,000 years. About winds and currents, I'm assuming that they were the same in the past. I'm using the guidance offered by the admiralty and in general the currents of the VFSK can be classified in three groups. Can you see it in here? Oh, I can see it here. Okay, so here in the summer currents go to the south, okay, while in the winter they throw you to the coast and it's quite difficult apparently to sail there in the winter. However, the currents are very easy to sail here during the winter because they take you all the way parallel to the coast until the Giron here following the north caliphia and the cantabrian coast and apparently this region is quite very easy to sail in the need of degrees. Oh, I'm sorry, I hope you're not getting close. During the summer apparently, this coast north of Spain is quite difficult to sail, so you got all these different combinations and I hope that those are going to be useful when trying to understand the distribution of artifacts. About the coastlines, very quickly, in Galicia here, these two rivers are very accessible places, these over two regions here, the cantabrian coast, Brittany, they are not bad but only a few places are good to access them and finally you have this coast here to the south of France which is horrible, it's very difficult to access it and through history you see that people don't like this place, you don't see artifacts or anything here from what I've seen, certainly not in the Bronze Age. She would, so what I'm trying to do now is to take things, little things and try to see how people moved through the VFSK, so in the Neolithic, we've already talked about the axis, it seems that these jade axes have a certain Atlantic distribution and also I'm trying, it's a big issue but I'm trying to work with the old issue of the passage graves and the decorations in this passage and how it seems that they are connected crossing the VFSK and not going through the inner regions, so it seems that in the living from what I'm seeing people were going following this way, not this way around, sorry if I'm going very, very quickly, in the case of the calcolithic, I decided to do this using the velvicate pottery, there is a really nice paper comparing the velvicate pottery in Galicia and Brittany and I knew I cannot compete with that so I decided to just do numbers, I'm trying to make very, very simple numbers and what you see here is that as you go to the inner regions of the VFSK, the velvicate pottery is scarcer and scarcer and suddenly you have these two very big links or points, so some people just say that you have this distribution that the velvicate comes this way through the here, the galon but if that was the case I assume that you should have huge amounts of velvicate pottery here as you have it here and here but that's not the case so again I think there is this room to think that people were following this route and now we arrived to the Bronze Age, very quickly with what they have in the early Bronze Age, again this is going to change but again I have these two big I don't know how to call it, humongous points of things here and here, clusters, different stuff and some of them will be global collars or the garantillas, well they are found here while in these regions now it seems they are more periferic, in the case for example of the Halviers, the Bronze Age Halviers, the blue stars, they have a more different distribution but in general you have these two powerful points, Brittany is much more powerful but you have these two, this is going to change in the middle Bronze Age, this is just the distribution of axes and in the case of the here, the metal, yeah and now in the middle Bronze Age it seems to become a very powerful point, you can see it here in the, yeah, while the pulse states that are in Brittany are so, okay, very quickly, yeah, it seems, and now we can discuss later about this, it seems that Galicia is becoming and also in general more periferic and Brittany and the Giron are more connected and I think that only by looking to the distribution of axes and the numbers it seems. Late Bronze Age, I'm still working in this part of the database, I just showing you a very traditional part, distribution of cold rooms and flesh hooks and I like to think and I know I shouldn't have any biases because I haven't started working with this but I have the feeling that in this period what you have is that both Northwestern Iberia that route that we've seen before and the new route of the Giron are active, both of them at the same time and then we arrive to the Iron Age, traditionally and I accept that, it has been said that with the arrival of the Phoenicians to the Iberian Peninsula, the Iberian Peninsula was kind of absorbed by the Mediterranean while the North Atlantic area entered in contact with Central Europe and it has been said that the Kutlinken Swords, the distribution in both in the British islands and Central Europe is approved for that in any case you still have the Hillfort, this particular very similar distribution of settlements in the Iron Age and also I didn't know about this until recently, I don't know how to take it but you have this distribution of Gold Dwarfs which seems that is all denying that view of the Atlantic Iron Age and so the Iron Age, I don't know how to understand it yet really, you have some people saying some things and you have people saying that you know maybe it's not like that entirely, when we arrive to the Roman period during the Republic, the Iberian Peninsula was conquered with the exception that was conquered very late in the at the end of the first century BC, the Cantabrian region of course also you know the Col was conquered so you have this period in the Republic when the Cantabrian the North Iberia is not controlled and apparently that's what people say, you know, that it is this part, that can be seen in the Dresden One distribution, it's this very, I don't know, it's like the king of the amphora of this period it's distributed all over the Roman territories but apparently it arrives to Caliphia here and it doesn't continue to Britain and certainly in the Cantabrian region it's not there, so it seems that in this period of time the Romans are going through the Vaviscay and through these north sections through the Caron but are not following the this this route okay okay and in the during the empire this apparently this is changed, you have the building of lighthouses and in white you can see evidence archaeological and written of of farmers and we have in the Vatican there is the production of these two types of amphora they arrived to to Brittany and apparently they were taken because there are shipwrecks through the Atlantic route so we have again this wood open of course this is working again all the time and in the Dresden time period again choosing these pieces there are all different amphora that seem to support this one that you know people were traveling through crossing the Vaviscay and in this case apparently they were going through the call to to Brittany this other type of of amphora and I'm going to skip the Vikings okay and okay and this only a very interesting very interesting Camino de Santiago yeah and we know there was the English wood went directly from from England they jumped to to Galicia we don't know how they they got back because that's the that's the tricky thing but we know that they were doing that and finally yeah the boats and I'm going to talk only about the prehistoric boats I have I've been able to find these log boats in these areas here this is Rockart picking boats and this is evidence that we have of sea umpland boats only in England of course and and my point here and that's what I want to say is that well I've been saying that people have been traveling through the Vaviscay and yeah I think that's that's quite clear but it seems that people in the Middle East think we're not more not more constrained than in other periods of history and people usually think you know like that boats in prehistory are very bad and boats in historical times are very good and what I'm seeing is that and as I agree with that with two the conclusions is that if you look to the long history of boats it doesn't seem that people in prehistory were more constrained by them by the I don't know primitive design and in historical times if you look to the routes and sorry I tested this if you look to the long term history of the routes there are kind of three different routes that are going through cycles sometimes one are chosen sometimes others are chosen and it seems due to maybe it's due to environmental changes there is due to political situations but certainly you have this kind of group of movements and finally about the long term history of the physical features of the day it seems that they don't change that much since the Neolithic and that's why I started working within Neolithic and that's all thank you very much


Good morning all. Good morning sir. Sir you can start up with the introduction. Yeah we will start the madam. Yes sir you can start. Yeah okay. Raki madam. Yes sir. Yeah please start. Good morning to all the learners gathered today on this platform. Nelson Mandela said education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. NPTEL E Awareness Workshop in association with Dr. Kelly Dr. Mesheshkiri College of Engineering and Technology Belgavi Karnataka and PKR Arts College for Women Tamil Nadu is organizing today's workshop. The aim of NPTEL Awareness Workshop is to create maximum awareness among faculty members and students about NPTEL and its various initiatives. To welcome and brief the objective of the workshop I request Dr. Satish Thotir, NPTEL Spock, Kelly Dr. Mesheshkiri College of Engineering and Technology Belgavi. Over to you sir. Thank you madam. Good morning to one and all. It's give me immense pleasure to welcome all of you for today's NPTEL Awareness Workshop in association with NPTEL IT Chennai and Kelly Technological University Dr. Mesheshkiri College of Engineering Technology Belgavi and PKR College for Women Tamil Nadu. First I welcome for today's the resource person at Bharati Bhalaji, senior project officer, NPTEL IIT Madras. She will provide the awareness among learners about NPTEL. I wholeheartedly welcome our beloved principal, Dr. B.G. Katkiri for his constant support and encouragement in conducting this workshop. I wholeheartedly welcome Dr. N. Engel Principal, BKR College for Women Tamil Nadu and also welcome Dr. M. Indira in PTEL SPOC from BKR College for Women Tamil Nadu. I welcome all the deans, heads of departments, staff members, research scholars, students, librarians from different institutions and other staff members for this e-workshop. The aim of the today workshop is to create a maximum awareness among learners about NPTEL and its various institutes. The workshop will include sessions on NPTEL and its features, NPTEL online certification courses and the concept of NPTEL and local chapter. Thank you, madam. Madam, admit yourself. Raki madam. Thank you, sir. Now I request today's guest speaker, Dr. B.G. Katkiri sir to enlighten the audience with his enormous experience. Over to you, sir. Thank you, professor Raki. Good morning to all the learned people, the administrators and the representatives of NPTEL IIT Chennai. On the occasion of the e-workshop being conducted for the faculties and students called the NPTEL awareness workshop jointly organized by our own college, K. L. technical, technological universities, Dr. M. Seshkiri College of Engineering and Technology Blagavi of Karnataka and also NPTEL IIT Chennai and P.K. Arts College for Women Tamil Nadu. I am very delighted to be part of this and also privileged to host this kind of e-workshop jointly with other two institutions. Before I get into say something about NPTEL and its program, I would like to quickly say a few words about our college. College was started in the year 1979 with basic three branches, civil, electrical and mechanical. Today, last month we had the 44th batch coming into this college with eight UG courses now. As of now, there are eight UG branches, then four PG courses and then 12 research centers. Overall about 3,500 plus students are there on the campus. Then we have a 17 acres of land which is exclusively for this engineering college. We also have a lot of new academic initiatives and the research activities going on on the campus in line with the NEP 2020 which is already implemented. We are our own university called the Kaili Technological University, Blagavi campus and our headquarters is at Kaili Technological University, Hubli which is again in Karnataka. We have about 220 teaching faculty and about 250 technical and supporting faculty and other facilities being all provided on the campuses. Placements and entrepreneurship activities are good, almost about 75% of the students are placed every year in good companies with good packages and rest of the students go for higher studies and take up entrepreneurship or do their own activities. So with this brief introduction about our college, I am the head of the Institute, Principal for the last 15 years with Kaili Institution. And now to say about NPTEL, as you all know, NPTEL was started in the way back in the year 2003 with the seven premier institutions IITs in India along with IIC Bangalore. So it is one of the largest online repository in engineering courses, basic sciences and selected humanities and social science subjects. If you look on the social media and the digital platform, YouTube channel for NPTEL is the most subscribed educational channel. There are about 1.4 billion views and about 4 million subscribers. More than 2,500 unique courses are available for self study. It is the most accessed library of peer reviewed educational content in the world. There are more than about 2.7 crore plus enrollments and 4,700 plus MOOCs already being completed by NPTEL. Friends coming to the objectives of this workshop, very glad that NPTEL has taken such a good initiative to spread the awareness. And while spreading the awareness, they have kept focus on certain objectives. If you have them to be listed for various initiatives by NPTEL and additional features of NPTEL, online courses are going to be, certification of online courses are going to be enlightened to the students. They are also planning to bring the awareness about online certification courses offered for faculty and students of engineering and managing students in various subjects. Also, advantage of NPTEL, IITs and ISE consortium to provide premium quality education at your doorstep is also being discussed. It is also to educate students about NPTEL courses that are prerequisites for partial fulfillment of the honors degrees given by certain various universities in India. And with this, we at the college campus have a NPTEL local chapter since January 2018. Lot of students and staff have availed the benefit of this and our local chapter is quite active. There are many students who have secured top 1%, top 2%, top 5% rankings in addition with gold and silver certifications. During the pandemic situation from 2020 to 2022, during that time also, NPTEL local chapter helped various students in our institution to carry out their studies by offering various online courses in which learning was free. The course was given free to them. So these are all the kinds of prime objectives which NPTEL at the center has kept and we are in line with that. We are working very actively and hope to continue to work in tandem with NPTEL. And as you all know, there are also many advantages of these online courses and certificates at the level of UCC and AICT also. And many students are using NPTEL courses for preparation of gate exams and higher studies also. So there are many new initiatives by NPTEL such as laboratory workshops, internships for courses for the toppers and by the course instructors, skill improvement programs, soft skill workshops for improving employability and data analytics. They also help for the gate exams preparation and also helps in translation of English transcripts of NPTEL videos. And also NPTEL to motivate and increase students, they announce many prizes which we are very aware of and also being trying to implement at our college level with the local chapter. So there are many categories and for promoting the students they provide NPTEL domain scholars, NPTEL superstars, NPTEL evangelists, NPTEL motivated learners, NPTEL enthusiasts, NPTEL discipline stars, NPTEL believers. So my dear friends, this is a very apt and very important program at this point of time, the E workshop being conducted to spread the awareness about NPTEL and its courses and benefits to the students and stuff. Overall, we are happy to be a part of this program in collaboration with other two institutions. With these words, I once again welcome you all to this program and thank the coordinators for giving me an opportunity to say a few words and express my thoughts in this direction. Thank you very much. All to you, Rakhima. Thank you, sir. Now I request Satish sir to take over the sessions. Thank you, madam. Thank you. My request to Dr. Indira madam, please. Hello. Yes, ma'am. I'm good morning to all who attended this meeting. I'm Dr. Aireeli, principal, PKR Arts and Science College for Women, Gobi Chittipaliam Aero district. Thank you very much for accepting the joint venture to do the NPTEL course for our students. Thank you very much, sir, Dr. Basaraj Gautagiri. Thank you, sir. So our college also, now it is running 29th year and it has started in the year of 1994. And from 2019 to 22 so far, 200 students of our students have undergone this course and many physics, maths and commerce students passed in the courses. So NPTEL courses really, it is a beneficial one in the online platform. It is very easy to understand and it is easily explained by all the experts and we are very happy to introduce this course in our institution and Dr. Indira has taken so much of effort to bring it to bring this course to our institution. I request all the students to benefit, listen carefully and attend all the classes without fail and get the benefit from these courses and all the best for Indira and all the students. Now also many students are joining this year also. Thank you very much for the opportunity given to me to introduce myself to the resource persons and other members of this NPTEL courses. Thank you, thank you Indira and thank you Dr. Basaraj and other persons, the doctors who have introduced the resource person to us. Thank you very much. Thank you ma'am. Okay, so many of you may be familiar with this logo, this is the NPTEL logo, we'll 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 soft-skilled training going on for local chapter students and so on. So this is what this presentation will talk about. Okay, 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, IAM, 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 MTech-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, right? 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. That is something that you have to look out for. 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 free 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 you 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. Yeah. So whenever you think of a website, right? 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, IIC 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 BCOM 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.  They will have some kind of coding that is there. They will have some kind of software they're using for within their company. 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. Then you go in for higher education. Probably you want to try and strengthen your fundamentals. 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 via 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 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. 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 next slide. 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 transfer. So I'll skip this slide. So credit transfer just has 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 and 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 the 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 it normally about two, three, five 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 Kharagpur 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're especially thinking about going for higher studies. You'll 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 it. So like 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, 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, okay? Yeah, 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 our 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, right?  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 3,000, 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, right? So a domain we have created just to club courses together and maybe about five or six courses we have put together. And 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. 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 couple of domains. So if you are 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 are 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. Or maybe mechanical engineer. I like electrical engineering. You can actually do the courses in electrical engineering and you can get a domain from there.  You cannot study electrical engineering, say power systems course, power electronics course. You are 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. 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 assign it out, of course, from the specific IAT 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 ISERS, IAT. 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 in 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, I'm 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, 30,000 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.  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 logo is there. So this you can present when you are going in for your promotion interviews. The conversion that they do is a four-week NPTEL course is equivalent to half FTP of one week. An 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. 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 yes, gate 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 gates. So we will be coming up. Phase one is only over. Phase two and phase 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. 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, Canada, 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 BCOM. What courses we can take? So for BCOM 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 you all. 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. Or if you're not doing that, I would propose the English courses. I would propose 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 BCOM 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. Right. Okay. 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 presidents, CEOs, CEOs of companies like IBM, Capgemini, 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 us, journalist in the Hindu, a 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 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'll be some topic to talk about also when somebody asks you something, it will widen your knowledge base. This is something that you can see. And if you're 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 will do there. I don't know. Maybe if you're doing a BSE, it's 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, 48,000 doing three. And if you look up to 10 exams even, right? A lot of them are doing 10 exams, eight 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. And it'll 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, they are faculty members, they are students, all people like you. So it's not like these people come suddenly from somewhere or they are 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 Swayam logo and it has the, okay, it has the NPTEL logo. This one's Swayam logo. Then it has your photo on the certificate. It has, as you can see the elite tag, the gold medal, we 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 IT mentors offers the course at the bottom where the institute logo on round this foot, you can see item address, logo there, item address, 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 5,000, it's not 10,000, it's not one 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 3,500 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 3,000,000 people who write our exams. So that's the level at which we do. 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 somebody tells you, okay, I haven't heard of NPTEL. You should really tell them saying that 15,000 people enrolled in NPTEL and 3,000 people write exams. How come you're missing out? That's the answer I will give them. 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 who have gotten jobs, people who 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 coordinators in each of these colleges who are called a single point of contact or Sparks. And through them is how we are so successful. So thanks to all the local chapter Sparks whoever is watching this workshop today who is 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 Sparks 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 fill form and the website fill it up and we need a coordinator 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 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 Sparks has one is a login on svayam portal one is a login on our NPTEL website and here they get information related to enrolment exam registration the marks, the transcripts, the certificates all of this is given to the Sparks directly that they can actually see and they can share with their management. Also the other benefits are if we don't have a centre in your particular city you can request for that if they have more than 200 people writing exams we can facilitate centres 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 are 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 refund 50% of the fee to them based on the colleges recommendation that is something that you can do also all this data that we give to the Sparks can be directly shared with bodies such as NAC and NBM when 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 the highest followed by Tamnadu and of course we have these Tellingana comes in 7th position with 234 local chapters currently every semester we also we have some few local chapters outside of India and some countries they are 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 toppers how many people have written exams how many people have done well 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 centres as our representatives faculty can help in translation efforts and yes like I said we rate it and we give recognition to the Sparks 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 Sparks 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 for art science colleges also yeah star LC who have been in the top 10 or top 100 over the last 4 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 Gauhati Bombay Delhi and ISE 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 2000 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 in five courses you can join in 10 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 talker 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're all like very well accomplished they're all coming from highly studious background something like that they're 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 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 of a 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's not just a resume saying be a see with this be a 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 and hands to learn what you are 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 swimming courses and do it only the final exam has a thousand rupees fee that also we are giving fee waivers if you are 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 fee 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 till then all the best and I hope that all of you do enroll to a course thank you Indramanth Satish sir yes Panam yeah you can present
