SWAYAM IITM

About this app

SWAYAM is a programme initiated by Government of India and designed to achieve the three cardinal principles of Education Policy viz., access, equity and quality. The objective of this effort is to take the best teaching learning resources to all, including the most disadvantaged. SWAYAM seeks to bridge the digital divide for students who have hitherto remained untouched by the digital revolution and have not been able to join the mainstream of the knowledge economy.

This is done through an indigenous developed IT platform that facilitates hosting of all the courses, taught in classrooms from 9th class till post-graduation to be accessed by anyone, anywhere at any time. All the courses are interactive, prepared by the best teachers in the country and are available, free of cost to the residents in India. More than 1,000 specially chosen faculty and teachers from across the Country have participated in preparing these courses.

The courses hosted on SWAYAM will be in 4 quadrants – (1) video lecture, (2) specially prepared reading material that can be downloaded/printed (3) self-assessment tests through tests and quizzes and (4) an online discussion forum for clearing the doubts. Steps have been taken to enrich the learning experience by using audio-video and multi-media and state of the art pedagogy / technology. In order to ensure best quality content are produced and delivered, seven National Coordinators have been appointed: They are NPTEL for engineering, UGC for post-graduation education, CEC for under-graduate education, NCERT & NIOS for school education, IGNOU for out of the school students and IIMB for management studies.

The SWAYAM Android application is designed for students to consume all SWAYAM content anywhere, anytime and anywhere.

Ratings and reviews

Had never experienced such a infuriating app in my entire existence. It's really hard to register for an nptl exam which was simply consuming the time but the registration is not done. Every time I put up my password it's randomly clinges and says invalid. Literally was so annoyed with the functioning of the app.Did called the service as well though they respond and suggested me some ways but still it's not working. I completed all the assignment and this is what happening. I have no idea how it

Superb app especially for those who don't get opportunity usually to study these course or can't afford them a greatest initiative by Govt of India and definitely there needs some things to done app wise firstly nofications while new course or new things are there and secondly it should directly open in youtu.be after selecting any lesson every time it keeps pop up.those settings and the option of auto scrolling don't work in transcriptions,Rest other things are too good .

In courses some of the videos are very small like 1 or 2 mins long. In order to going the next video with Swayam android app you have to go back and click on next video. Instead of that if you provide next button while playing video that would be useful.
