Important points to remember while enrolling in NPTEL courses

-
Enrolling in NPTEL-   central idea of National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning is to put recorded lectures taught by its member(from IIT) institutes online for open access.


Enrolling in NPTEL 
Hello everyone, if you about to enroll in NPTEL, then go through the key points first
1. They are providing the best lectures from the best faculties of IITs and IISC covering all major branches of Engineering , physical sciences at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels and management courses at the postgraduate level.
2. Through an online portal, 4-, 8-, or 12-week online courses, typically on topics relevant to students in all years of higher education along with basic core courses in sciences and humanities are being offered.
3. All the courses are free to enroll .yes all of them are free unless you want certification from NPTEL.
4. For certification of your course you have to give proctored exam for which fees is Rs 1000 now.
5. Every week 1 assignment is given for assessment coniting of 10 or 25 mark hence total no of assignment is 4,8,12 respectively for course of 4,8,12 weeks.
6. The exam conducted by nptel is of 100 marks.
7.  Final score=25% assignment score + 75% exam score. The pass criteria for exams is being changed from July 2019. A learner will pass and be certified only if Average assignment score (out of 100) >= 40 AND Final exam score ( out of 100) >= 40.

Enrollment
The NPTEL conduct it courses twice in a year .The registration for first starts in month of dec-jan and for second starts from june-july. Currently its registration are open for firt half click the link belo to enroll ,the enrollment end on 3rd Feb 2020.
Enroll in more than one courses ,i am telling you this from my personal experience that if this is your first enrollment choose for 3-4 courses and give exam in any one of them. I took its n courses and gave exam in one. The reason for this is that each course is vast and it becomes difficult to give more than 1 exam when this is your first try. after once you had given the exam and obtain certificate then onward from next chance you can opt for multiple no of exam.

Course selection 
You can choose the courses relevant to the subject you are studying or in which you are interested.
or you can choose them by the institution offering different courses. The main topics are engineering , biotechnology, life science humanities and management.

Exams
Assignment:
Each week assignments are released which have to submitted on time .
Each assignment is of 25 marks.
Calculation of final assignment score:
In 8 week course the score of best 6 assignment are considered.
In 12 week course the score of best 8 assignment are considered.
Final assignment score: 25% of assignment score

Exam:
The final exam consists of 100 marks. 

Total final score =Final assignment score:(25% of assignment score)+75% Exam score .

Certification
 A learner will pass and be certified only if Average assignment score (out of 100) >= 40 AND Final exam score ( out of 100) >= 40.
If your total score is 90+ you will be awarded with Gold certificate. If 60-90 you will be awarded with Elite certificate.

Exam pattern
The 100 mark paper is divided in 3 sections:
Section A: 10 question--10 mark . Each question is of 1 mark.
Difficulty level: very easy 
Syllabus: All from assignments.

Section B: 25 question--40 mark . question  of 1,2 and 3 mark.
Difficulty level: easy + moderate
Syllabus: All from assignments.

Section C: 25 question--50 mark . Each question is of 2 mark.
Difficulty level: Hard
Syllabus: From the book recommended by course mentor.

so go for it enroll in nptel and share your experiences with me

Notch- is a device used for measuring the rate of flow or discharge of a liquid through  small channel or tank. Weir- is a concrete or masonry structure, placed in an open channel over which the flow occurs. It is form of vertical wall , with the sharp edge at the top, running all the way across the open channel. Notches Weirs 1. A notch may be defined as an opening provided in one side of a tank or reservoir,with upstream liquid level below the top edge of opening. 1. A weir may be defined as a structure constructed across a river or canal to store water on the upstream side. 2. The sheet of water flowing through a notch is called Nappe.  2. The sheet of water flowing over a weir is called Vein.  3. The bottom edge of a notch is called Crest. 3. The bottom edge of a weir is called Sill. 4. Usually made of metallic plates.  4. Weir is a concrete or masonry structure 5. Measures small discharge of small stream, lake or canal. 5. It can measure large disch

Klein's Construction

Klein's Construction - is an graphical method to find velocity and acceleration of reciprocating parts of steam engine or internal combustion engine . In Klein's Construction the velocity and acceleration diagrams are made on configuration diagram itself. The line that represents the crank in the configuration diagram also represents the velocity and acceleration of its moving end in the velocity and acceleration diagrams respectively. By using this method we can find the velocity and acceleration of crank,connecting rod ,piston. Klein's Construction This method is applicable only if α of crank=0 or ω of crank=constant Method of obtaining velocity and acceleration  from the given values of crank length(r) and its angular velocity(ω) calculate crank velocity by  crank velocity Vc=r*ω crank acceleration Ac=r*ω*ω if dimensions of crank and connecting rod are such that they can be drawn on paper then there is no need to scale down the dimenions. if

NPTEL- provides E-learning through online web and video courses in various streams. hello enthusiasts ,many of you are willing to join NPTEL courses and looking on google for it. So let me tell it for all of you . NPTEL What is NPTEL? The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) was initiated by seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras, Guwahati and Roorkee) along with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 2003. Five core disciplines were identified, namely, civil engineering, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering and mechanical engineering and 235 courses in web/video format were developed in this phase. The main goal of NPTEL Phase II (2009-14) was to build on the engineering and core science courses launched previously in NPTEL Phase I. An additional 600 web and video courses were created in all major branches of engineering, physical sciences a
