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

It's a very good app for those who are not privileged to get the education. But a small suggestion here I would like to give is that to add the option of getting the notification of the upcoming courses as it is unnoticable until we keep a daily check. I would request you to add a upcoming courses notification or alert option in the app.

I paid exam fees twice because the server didn't show the payment was successful, for one month I'm emailing them to refund the extra amount which I paid but they are not replying to it... It's been one month now I don't know whether I will get my refund. They are neither picking up the calls nor replying to the mails.Such a pathetic app.....!!!

Good and Simple UI. But searching for the courses, seems like a difficult task sometimes. Needs some improvements in UX. But overall I am happy and grateful for providing these courses for free. Thank you.
