Dear Students,

We are trying to troubleshoot the course portal accessibility issue. We have raised the issue with the concerned team and are earnestly awaiting their inputs. Meanwhile, we would like to suggest the following workaround to enable you to access the portal for the time being  

HOW TO CONNECT TO VPN USING YOUR DESKTOP/LAPTOP:

step 1: open you chrome browser
step 2: search for setupvpn chrome extension or click this link below
step 3:click the create account as shown in the screenshot

Step 4: click all the check box as shown in the screenshot

Step 5: copy the code to clipboard by click on it

Step 6: click any country except india

Step 6: try to login to the portal once VPN is set up.

Thanks,
IITM online degree team.

Hi Akhil,

No it should be fine. You can disable the new VPN once you are done or remove extension if you no longer need it.  

Warm regards
