The main objective of NPTEL program is to enhance the quality of
engineering education in the country by developing curriculum based
video and web courses. This is being carried out by seven IITs and
IISc Bangalore as a collaborative project. In the first phase of
the project, supplementary content for 129 web courses in engineering/science
and humanities have been developed. Each course contains materials
that can be covered in depth in 40 or more lecture hours. In addition,
110 courses have been developed in video format, with each course
