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.

I can't log in to the desktop version normally or through google id's. Tried umpteen times n failed. The page remains frozen. Was using the mobile version, BUT Swayam Mobile app tells me to submit assignments on desktop! I mailed this to Swayam time n again but NOTHING happened. Once they gave me a feedback link, but it doesn't work either. I am fed up! Swayam is DISSAPOINTING to say the least!

Horrible... In app experience and user interface could have been better. It doesn't upload the obtained certificates and badges even after their completion. It is expected to maintain an interface of top notch level as it deals with the biggest institutes of the country yet it looks poor and it's maintenance is below the average conditions.

It’s a great initiative taken by NPTEL. However, there are some challenges to be sorted out. After we complete listening to a lecture, we are unnecessarily made to watch other irrelevant YouTube videos. As a consequence, we fail the find the subsequent lectures. It creates massive distraction as well as disgust. So, the sequence of the lectures must be maintained without any disturbance. I have to prepare myself for the exam which I have registered for. Please do fix it.
