NPTEL Jan-Apr 2020 - Update about PASS Certificate

Dear Learner,

This announcement is only for those who registered for final exam.

The Assignment score sheet and Modified Pass certificate, if you are eligible for it, for all the exam registered courses have been generated.

How to access Candidate login:

Please login to https://nptel.ac.in/noc/ (preferably in incognito mode) with the exam registered email ID to check the same.

Average Assignment score is calculated as follows:

Assignment Score out of 100 = Average of best 8 out of 12 assignments. + Average of best 8 out of 12 Programming assignment
Final Assignment Score out of 100(Score on Certificate)=Assignment Score out of 100+ Programming Assignment Score out of 100
Note:
Eligibility for Certificate : QUIZ Assignment Score out of 100 >=10/25 AND PROGRAMMING Assignment Score out of 100 >=10/25 
Final score out of 100 (Quiz+Programming) >=40/100 (If any one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not be eligible for the certificate.)  

Modified pass certificate:

If this score >= 40/100 (which is also one condition for certificate eligibility), we will issue a modified Pass certificate.

If this score <40/100, this certificate will not be issued.

Note:

This Modified Pass certificate will not be counted towards the Domain certification as a completed course. 

Similarly, we will not be issuing an AICTE-NPTEL FDP certificate also based on the Modified Pass certificate.

For any queries, please write to support@nptel.iitm.ac.in

As announced earlier there will be NO dispatch of certificate hard copies. 

Also, the certificate publishing link for social media is currently disabled.

1. OPTION 1: "I wish to write exam"

NPTEL is planning to conduct the Jan-Apr 2020 semester exams (online remote proctored AND/OR in-person exams) in the coming days, based on prevalent government guidelines at that time. If you wish to write this exam - whenever we conduct it - we will retain the fees you had paid earlier and,

• Inform you as & when we plan to conduct the exam for the subject you have registered.

• You will be informed of the mode and date of the exam.

• At that point if you are unable to write the exam, you will be allowed to cancel the registration and take the refund.

By choosing this Option 1, you also agree that:

If I choose Exam and I am absent for it OR do not pass the exam based on NPTEL criteria, I will not get a certificate or refund of fees.

2. OPTION 2: "I wish to cancel and take refund"

In case you do not wish to write the exam for the NPTEL course offered in Jan 2020, please choose this option.

In this case you will get a refund of 80% of the fee paid earlier.

You also hereby agree that even if we organize the exam on a later date, you will not be permitted to write the exam.

NPTEL: Latest update on Exams for Jan 2020 semester

Dear learner,

This is with regard to the Jan-Apr 2020 NPTEL exams. Based on the feedback received the last couple of days from several stakeholders such as learners, colleges, etc, we have decided on the following:

Cancelling the exams scheduled for 23/24/25 June through TCS

1. Attested Assignment Score sheet:  For ALL exam registered candidates:

We will issue an attested assignment score sheet letter, regardless of your assignment score - which can be used as appropriate.

2. Modified Pass certificate: Based on Average Assignment score

We will calculate the Average Assignment score as follows:

Average of the best 3/6/8 assignments for courses of duration 4/8/12 weeks (or as announced apriori in the course in case of changes)

If this score >= 40/100 (which is also one condition for certificate eligibility), we will issue a modified Pass certificate.

If this score <40/100, this certificate will not be issued.

This certificate will not be counted towards the Domain certification as a completed course. Similarly, we will not be issuing an AICTE-NPTEL FDP certificate also based on this.

3. A generic letter from our side - request to College authorities to accept this as per their requirement will be put up on nptel.ac.in, can be downloaded and used

We will put up a pdf in which we will explain the assignment score sheet and the Pass certificate and request them to accept and process further. We will also independently approach the ministry, AICTE and UGC to convey this new process for Jan 2020 semester to all universities.  

Regarding the conduct of exams in future:

Independent of the Pass certificate and the Attested assignment score sheet mentioned above, in order to plan for a possible exam sometime in the future, we will share another form after the above activities are completed, with 2 choices:

 

a. Cancel and refund - Those who are very sure that they would not want to appear for regular proctored NPTEL exams and want a refund - can choose this. We will refund the money. We may not be able to open registrations again in this case if you wish to appear for it later.

Link to the form :bit.ly/NPTELExamOptionForm
***************************************************
More details about the options:
Option 1: What is required to choose Online remote proctored exam?
We have finalized an online exam vendor with remote proctoring to conduct exams for those who have the following facilities:

• A laptop/desktop with webcam, audio and stable internet connection.
• You can write the exam from wherever you are.
• Please check system requirements shown below.

If you wish to take the remote proctored online exam online, please follow the following steps.
STEP 1:
Mock Test
You will receive an email with Link for a Mock Test. Please go ahead and use this link to test your system requirements and compatibility.

• The duration of this Mock test will be 10 mins.
  
• This Mock Test has to be completed in order to check your system’s compatibility to take the remote proctored online exam.
• Hence, completing this Mock test is Mandatory for those who wish to take the remote proctored online exam.
• Those who do not complete the Mock Test successfully will not be able to participate in the remote proctored online exam.

STEP 2:
If you are able to successfully complete the Mock test and submit the answers to the dummy questions, you can opt for the remote proctored online exam.
Please note:
If you are unable to complete the mock test (due to system infrastructure mismatch - webcam not working or insufficient internet speed,etc) we will not be able to include you for the online remote proctored exam.
Please choose the Backup option in case the trial for the online remote proctored exams to be held this week do not go well.You can either opt for in-person exams at designated centres or cancel the exam and take a refund.
*****************************************************
OPTION 2: IN PERSON PROCTORED EXAM AT FIXED EXAM CENTRES

We will be conducting exams with TCS iON (like we normally do) for which you have to appear in person at the designated exam centre in the city chosen by you.
The exam dates will be 23,24,25 June 2020 for this.

• We will ensure you will be able to write the exams you have registered for without a clash in slots.
• We, along with the exam partner, will make sure that exams will be conducted by following appropriate social distancing norms and hygiene rules as required in the current situation.
• It will be your responsibility to ensure that you reach the centre to give the exam.
• We will try and ensure conduct of exam in the cities given in the list, but if in case for any unforeseen reason, we are unable to conduct the exam in the city chosen by you, we will refund 80% of the exam fee and you will not get the certificate from us.

*****************************************************
IMPORTANT:

• Those of you graduating this year and who definitely need an NPTEL certificate - we suggest that you should make a serious effort in attempting this online remote proctored exam. As you know, the in-person-at-centre exam has a lot more dependencies on external factors. So please try to arrange for the systems per the requirements and attempt this online exam.
• The above 3 options can be exercised for each of the courses registered for individually.
• If you pass the course as per the certification criteria, the certificate will be the same as we normally give.
• You can choose either the online exam session or the in-person session to write the exam. If you miss that we will be unable to provide another opportunity to take up the exam this semester. The fees paid will be used towards this one session.
• Fees will not be refunded if you participate in this exam and then could not complete the exam for any reason whatsoever.

Week 11 assignment 1

Please read the solution carefully.  it is noteworthy in many ways.

1. For every word in the document you need an entry in the index.  And you will want to go to that entry by giving the word, while you build up the index.  So you need to use a map in which the key is the word.
2. For every word in the index there will be many numbers denoting the positions where it occurs.  So clearly you need a map from strings to numbers.
3. Dont even think of reading in line by line.  The standard cin mechanism will give you one word at a time which is what you really want.  After getting the word, you can strip out the punctuation etc.
4. Once you have the word, you can loop up the map, and add the current word position at the end of the occurences stored in the vector.
5. You dont need to sort the vector because numbers will be appended in increasing order.
6. You dont need to sort the map -- when you iterate through it you are guaranteed to get the entries in the sorted order!

Week 10 Assignment re-evaluation

Dear Learners,

For Week 10 Assignment, Q 6 "What would be the parameter type?  Remember the parameter for + was const String&", the expected answers were "const int" or "const int&".  In addition to this, "int" and "int&" are also added to list of correct answers.

The re-evaluation is done with this update.

Thanks

Instruction for the final examination

The exam will have about 50 questions, (multiple choice and fill in the blanks) each of 1 or 2 marks for a total of 100 marks.  The format will be similar to the quiz questions.

The main instruction: Write your answer without including any extraneous characters such as spaces or commas or semicolons or fullstops.  Give only what is required.  For example, do not write "A[ 3 ]" or "a + b" but just write "A[3]" or "a+b".  Do not include single or double quotation marks in your answer unless they are a part of the answer.  For questions that ask "what is printed by the program?" state exactly what would appear on the screen, without putting additional commas or quotes or anything else.

In general give solutions which are most concise.  For example, in the body of a function, a member x may be referenced as x, or as this->x.  Use the former and not the latter.

For a question such as "what data structure is most convenient", interpret "convenient" to mean "requiring least programming effort".

Write numbers in decimal (not hexadecimal or binary or ...).  Also, unless needed specifically, do not write 10. or 10.0 but just write 10 without the decimal point.

Evaluation issues with Week 1 Quiz and Week 2 Quiz

We have observed some evaluation issues with Week 1 Quiz and Week 2 Quiz. We have noted your queries on the forum and would be addressing them. 

Model answers will be updated and re-evaluation requested to NPTEL. This might take some time, but would be certainly addressed. 

Some of you have posted that their answers were not recorded correctly. There were some issues while browsing the website using mobile browser. The problem has been rectified by NPTEL. You can check now. Better if you view it using a computer.

About newlines in the output

In future programming assignments we will try to end each line with a newline, which can be given by printing an endl or by printing '\n'.

But you should be able to handle whatever we do.  When you compile and run your program, the output of your program and the output expected are both shown.  From that you will know whether an endl is needed.  In the output the newline shows up as '\n'.

About programming assignments

You dont need to include any header files because they will be included for you in the invisible code.

Also, you should not write "turtleSim();" in the programming assignments because problems involving turtlegraphics will not be asked.

---

Typo in week 1 quiz

There is a typographical error in the text before problem 8.  The correct text should be:

Suppose we have a 5 x 5 pixel image.  The pixels in the top row are numbered 0 through 4 left to right, the ones in the second row are numbered 5 through 9 left to right, and so on.  Suppose this image contains a '+' symbol at the center, and the bars in the '+' are 1 pixel thick and 3 pixels long, with the central pixel appearing in both the horizontal and vertical bars.  The pixels corresponding to the '+' have value 1 and others have value 0.

Regarding the book for the course

The book is not available online.  It can be bought from some online store (e.g. amazon, flipkart, ...).  I think they also have an ebook, for purchasing.

Drawing a 7 pointed star.

First try to figure out the general structure of the program without worrying about the precise turning angles.  Clearly you need to go forward and turn by some angle -- 7 times.  How much angle?  Well, imagine you are the turtle.  As you go around, how much do you turn around yourself?  You should be able to see that if you come back to the same orientation finally, you must have turned a multiple of 360 degrees.  If you turn just by 360, you will just get a polygon.  So the total angle could be 360*2 or 360*3.  Thus the turning angle at each step should be 360*2/7, or 360*3/7 -- you will get different 7 pointed stars for both these choices.

---

An Introduction To Programming Through C++ - Week 2 Content and Assignments has been released

---

Hint for 7 circles problem

Draw lines joining the centers of the outer circles to the central circle.  This should tell you something about how much you need to turn.  Note that a circle is a polygon with n sides where n is large, and at each step you turn by 360/n.  If you want to only draw an arc that subtends an angle of d degrees at the center, you need to take fewer steps -- how many?

You are expected to think first about how you would solve the problem by hand.  In this case, it means that if you were the turtle, in what order would you trace the curve?

Also, if you can break up your movement into k symmetric parts, then you can try to figure out how you would do each part and then maybe put everything into a repeat(k) loop.

---

Regarding installing simplecpp

Simplecpp is available at www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~ranade/simplecpp

On windows, if you had earlier installed gcc c++ compiler, please uninstall it first before installing codeblocks ide.

If you have any problems, please mention what Operating system you are using, and what the precise problem is.  Include a screenshot in your message if possible.

In anycase, you have been already told that you dont need to install simplecpp in order to submit the programming assignemnts.

An Introduction To Programming Through C++ : How does an NPTEL online course work?

Dear Learner

Welcome to the NPTEL Online course. Thank you for enrolling with us. 

We are releasing the first set of videos which are help videos. These are prepared to walk you through the portal functionalities and give you a basic idea about the entire online learning process. We request you to go through each of these videos for a better understanding of the NPTEL Certification Process (They are quite short and brief). 

For first time online enrollees: How to view the videos: Click on the tab (on the left side if using a Desktop) called Course Outline and then on the Unit called "How does an NPTEL online course work?". Click on every link given there and watch the video. 

Hope these will help you get the most out of the online course. After watching these, ask any queries you may have on the Discussion Forum. Looking forward to interacting with you.

Thanks & Regards,

NPTEL Team.
