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

30/05/2024 No cancel option or un enroll option is given for the course that is not started yet. 31/05/2024 I sent email to given I'd on contact and they stated there is a button to un enroll from course. I think your course provider is given with old instructions . But in actual there is no option or button to cancel non started course. Thanks for quick response.

I don't know what's the problem with this app. It's take so much time to me create an account. And it shows like "if you're not taken to the application page, please press here.. And after press it, after one dark screen i reached again the same page. Till no change 🙂..

Oh my god, the teachers teaching those online courses are so useless and the notes provided have so many typing errors, had it not been a compulsory course I would have uninstalled the app right then. Furthermore,this app requires frequent updates, everytime I open the app my previous history is lost and I have to re-login.
