Dear SPOCs,

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dear learner,

Hope you are staying safe and healthy in these difficult times.

This is an update regarding the exams for the NPTEL courses run in Jan-Apr 2021. We had recently announced that we are looking into conducting these exams on July 10/11.

However, due to the continued pandemic situation, NPTEL exams stand postponed until further notice. 

A summary of the status of and steps with respect to the NPTEL exams is as follows:

1. Mar 2021 exams - We have already conducted these exams and e-certificates have been issued.

2. Apr 2021 exams

For final year students looking to graduate with the degree in 2021 using NPTEL courses for credit transfer, we had decided on the following: A Modified Pass Certificate, with text ‘Covid Impacted’,  will be provisionally issued to final year students graduating in 2021 alone, based on the Assignment Scores you have obtained in your NPTEL courses.

THIS MODIFIED CERTIFICATE IS APPLICABLE ONLY TO STUDENTS GRADUATING IN 2021.

This certificate will not be counted towards the Domain or any other NPTEL Star categories we have. 

1. A generic letter from our side - We will put up a letter on NPTEL portal in which we will explain the Modified Pass certificate and request the University/College authorities to accept and process further towards credit transfer. We request the College authorities to accept this as per their requirement. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AYJCdpHrGPlYyzNS9VfPfTOjHTB474Pl/view

2. Exams for Non-final year students

For those not requiring NPTEL credits to graduate, NPTEL is looking into various possibilities of conducting the final exams in the coming months. The mode of conducting the exams, date of the exams, etc. will be announced as the situation evolves.
