Benefits of NPTEL Course Certificate

NPTEL courses have credit values that are used in various universities and institutes for credit transfer in mark sheets if students get qualified in particular subjects from the NPTEL. The credit system is different according to subject and course duration. For example, 4 Weeks course – 1 Credit, 8 Weeks course -2 Credits, and 12 Weeks course– 3 Credits will be provided.

NPTEL Courses are well recognized by universities and industries so both consider NPTEL-issued certificates.

NPTEL courses are very helpful for GATE, CSIR-NET, and IIT-JAM exam, preparation because there is an objective-type multiple-choice question that will be helpful to practice desired subjects.

Students can review their submitted answers by the final NPTEL assignment answers sheets that are updated and come on registered email every week. Students can cross-check their own progress through weekly assignments.
