National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) is an Indian learning platform for university-level science, technology, engineering, and mathematics subjects. It is jointly developed by Indian Institutes of Technology and Indian Institute of Science.[1] The initiative is funded by the Ministry of Human Resource and Development, Government of India. The project's central idea is to put recorded lectures taught by its member institutes online for open access. It operates one of the most extensive educational Youtube channel covering engineering, basic sciences, and some humanities and social science subjects.[2]

History

NPTEL was initiated in 2003 by seven IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Guwahati and Roorkee) and Indian Institute of Science (IISc).[3][4] Since March 2014, NPTEL began offering courses along with certificates to those who pass the examinations successfully. Course credits can also be transferred to Universities under UGC guidelines.
