NPTEL has been offering self-study courses across engineering, humanities and science streams for more than a decade. To take this initiative forward and to encourage students in PESTIM, Shivamogga, we have started SWAYAM NPTEL Local Chapter since 7th January 2018 and engaged in a fruitful relationship with NPTEL in the college. This local chapter is led by a Dr. Sunitha B. S HOD, Data Science, PESITM, Shivamogga, faculty member of the College, who is the Single Point of Contact (SPOC) to NPTEL center at IIT Madras. NPTEL resources are loaded with total 518 video courses and 426 web courses and shared on Intranet on an Internal Server. PES Institute of Technology and Management – NPTEL Local Chapter College ID is 1498 as given by NPTEL.

Our college is recognized as an ACTIVE Local Chapter. Every year many students were motivated to register for NPTEL courses with the help of video lessons and web content to improve their employability and widen their knowledge base. The faculty members are also encouraged to do online courses to enhance their skills and improve teaching- learning process. NPTEL local chapter in the college is having a coordinator in each department. The coordinators regularly interact with the students and guide them to register to the courses. Every year the numbers of participants are increasing in this NPTEL Online Courses Certification (NOCs). The institute is extending financial aid to those faculties, who have successfully completed the NPTEL course. Also, these additional certifications are considered as one of the factor for their annual increments.
