The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) is a project initiated and handled by seven Indian Institute of Technology (IIT-Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Roorkee and Guwahati) and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. It is project funded by MHRD, Government of India, to develop and promote multimedia and web technology based learning open for all. Currently around 940 courses are available on the NPTEL web portal for e-learning and downloading. NPTEL has also initiated open online courses with certification where courses in different domains are regularly launched. Courses are free to enroll and are available in the Online Courses portal [at] NPTEL. At the end of the course a certification exam (optional) is held on specific dates at specific centers.
