[2021] SWAYAM + NPTEL Courses Full List

Here is an updated list of 900+ free online courses offered on SWAYAM, India’s national MOOC platform.

SWAYAM is India’s national MOOC platform, designed to achieve the three cardinal principles of India’s Education Policy: access, equity and quality.

Class Central has been keeping track of SWAYAM’s progress since the platform was first announced back in August 2014.  Since its beta launch in July 2017, the platform has enrolled over 10 million learners. At the rate it’s growing, in a few years, SWAYAM could become the world’s largest MOOC provider, offering courses in a wide variety of disciplines from prestigious Indian institutions such as IITs and Central Universities.

In July 2019, SWAYAM’s homepage and course catalog were revamped, notably to include all courses offered by NPTEL, a group comprising some of India’s most prominent engineering institutions. All these courses can be taken for free. Students can also choose to pay a small fee (about $15) to sit a proctored exam in an examination center in India to earn a certificate of completion.

Certificates may, in turn, be used by students enrolled in India’s higher education to earn academic credit for completing SWAYAM courses earmarked as credit-eligible by their universities. If you’d like to know more about how India is leveraging SWAYAM at the university level, head to our previous article: In India, MOOCs Are Now Part of the Education System.

In 2020, Indian universites also started offering online degrees. Class Central has compiled a list: 250+ UGC Approved Online Degrees from India’s Top Universities

I personally completed several courses on SWAYAM, including a SWAYAM-NPTEL course that was part of the last semester of my master’s degree in computer science (specialization in AI) at the Central University of Rajasthan, India. I paid a small extra fee (less than $2) to receive the certificate (embedded below) by mail. Since then, paper certificates have been discontinued, but students can still obtain virtual certificates that afford the same privileges.

I joined the Class Central engineering team in April 2019, and part of my job is to make sure that Class Central’s catalog is up-to-date. This means I maintain as well as write new scrapers that collect the course information from different providers.

And I am happy to say that we now list all SWAYAM courses. There are 900+ free online courses starting January 2022 onwards. If you want to be notified about these courses, please use the follow button and Class Central will keep you in the loop.

      Do not mean to be offensive or rude but based your comment you definitely need some English writing and reading classes. Experiences of life can be absorbed and shared with better sophistication if you can write and comprehend clearly. I’m not good in grammar that is the reason why I came here to look for a good class 🙂 Good luck.

    This a great compilation of courses offered by Swayam. I have completed only one course offered by NPTEL, which, by the way, is not in this list. I don´t know why. Maybe because is not in the Swayam catalog? It´s name is “Equipment Design: Mechanical Aspects”. That was a very good course. However, the only issue that I could mention about these courses offered by these Indian Institutes, is the accent and the quality of the English handled by the instructors. Like I said, I only completed one course, and the English of the instructor was quite good, but without flaws in pronunciation. I´m currently viewing the course about Heat Exchangers, and in this case, the pronunciation of the instructor is very bad, and even the transcription of the course doesn´t help, because it seems like it was created automatically by a transcription software, and the mistakes of the instructor when speaking, translates to the transcription as well. So, the thing is that this issue adds a level of difficulty to the learning process, because one has to apply a little more effort to understand what is being said. It´s time consuming and distracting. I´m speaking based on my experience with only two courses, so I would like to know the opinion of the author of this article about it, or others, for that matter. Thank you for the valuable information contained in this article, and also for your work. Regards.

          Most of the Swayam courses are session-based that is offered twice a year.
          It’s not certain that the course will be offered in all sessions.
          Soon we will be updating this article with courses whose enrolment is open.

          BTW, you may take courses from other providers for free (for a certificate you may need to pay)

          A course like https://www.classcentral.com/course/understanding-ielts-speaking-17037 might be beneficial.

          Or search for spoken English course at https://www.classcentral.com

      Probably you are talking about the course https://swayam.gov.in/nd1_noc20_cs46/preview whose enrolment was closed on the 3rd Feb. 2020.

      If you can see Join button just below video intro in the swayam course page. Then it means you may enroll in the course and participate.

        What I always suggest is
        1. Search for the topics at https://www.classcentral.com and read the reviews, see the number of follows etc to choose among the courses.
        2. You may also go through the courses list in different rankings ( https://www.classcentral.com/rankings ) and see if any course falls in your area of interest/discpline.

    Say a course duration is of 4 weeks and another course duration is of 12 /16 weeks , both will carry different credits .But what those credits are is not specified.

    Is there any way to know a particular course’s credits provided? Thank you.

      Most of the Swayam courses are credit eligible. For some courses, I’ve seen instructor used to write number of credits in the course description section and/or somewhere in their course page.
      As much I know, you may need to inform your university in advance in order to get credit for it at the end of your semester. You may consult your SPOC (if your University has one).
      Anyways, A 1 to 4 credit swayam course is expected to be covered in 4-12 weeks duration including assignment component in which it should be 40 hours (for 3 credit course) to 90 hours (for 6 credit course)
