The National Program for Technical Enhancement Learning (NPTEL) offers online courses taught by IIT professors. There are over 300 courses available, and anyone can enroll in their preferred course. The course duration can be 4, 8, or 12 weeks. We can take the course for free but if we want to take the exam for a certificate we need to pay the fee. NPTEL certificates will enhance the value of the resume. So, many students prefer to write these NPTEL exams which helps in their interviews for job selections.

NPTEL provides specially prepared reading material that can be downloaded or printed. These materials consist of PPTs used in the lectures and content that has been explained in the videos.
Proctored Exam
To attend the proctored exam, you must go to the designated exam centers at the specified time. This exam does not include negative marking. Around 10-15 questions will be taken from the weekly assignments. To achieve a good score in this exam, it is important to focus on the weekly assignments, attend the weekly lectures, and review the PowerPoint presentations.
They instructed me to bring the hall ticket xerox and ID proof. The exam lasts for 3 hours. We can leave the exam hall after 90 minutes. The questions are challenging and indirect, requiring us to recall various topics in order to respond. We need to provide multiple answers for certain questions. My advice is to not rush when answering the questions, as they can be tricky. Sufficient time has been provided for the exam, so take your time to answer each question.
Certificate Criteria
We need to score at least 10 out of 25 on the weekly tests and at least 30 out of 75 on the proctored exam. In total, we need to gain at least 40 out of 100.
If we score more than 60 but less than 75, the elite symbol will be added to our certificate. If we score more than 75 but less than 90, the elite and silver badge will be added to our certificate. If we score more than 90, the gold badge will be added to our certificate. If we are the topper, we will get the topper symbol on the certificate.
My Learning Experience
My NPTEL journey has been filled with learning and exploration into blockchain technology and its applications. I haven't faced any difficulty, from registering for the exam to the proctored exam, because of the organized learning. With the guidance provided by the instructors, I scored 70% marks in the proctored exam and obtained the certificate.
