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.

NPTEL: Latest update on Exams for Jan 2020 semester

Dear learner,

Hope you are safe and doing fine in the current situation.
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
The exams scheduled on 23/24/25 June, stand cancelled and the choices learners had opted for - In person exams or Refund, stand cancelled.

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.

b. NPTEL can retain fees for exams whenever organized for Jan 2020 courses -Those who would like to wait and take the exam with us - whenever we conduct it - can opt for this choice  and we will keep the fees with us. Writing this and passing as per the certification criteria laid down will get them the regular NPTEL certificate. This will alone be counted towards the Domain certificate and issue of the FDP certificate.

The mode of conducting the exams, date of the exams, etc - we will inform as the situation evolves.  
For any queries: please contact support@nptel.iitm.ac.in

UPDATE ABOUT NPTEL JAN-APR 2020 EXAMS

Dear Learner,

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

NPTEL Committee has decided to discontinue the Online Remote Proctored Exam Option.


Hence, you now have to choose between the following 2 options.


OPTION 1: 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 current exam dates fixed for this are:

Exams scheduled on the below date

Rescheduled - New Date

March 29, 2020

June 23, 2020

April 25, 2020

June 24, 2020

April 26, 2020

June 25, 2020

 Important:

  1. The above is subject to Government restrictions prevalent in various states at that point in time.

  2. If you choose this option, the responsibility to reach the centre lies with you.

  3. If the exams do get postponed due to unavoidable circumstances, exams may be conducted in August 2020 or maybe even as late as in October 2020.

  4. If you choose to write the exam through this option and the exam is conducted by us in a particular city and you miss it, refund will NOT be possible as all arrangements would have been made with the vendor for the same and hence payment made to the vendor.

  5. If you do pass the course as per the criteria mentioned, certificate will be the same as we normally give.

  6. We will ensure you will be able to write the exams you have registered for without a clash in slots.

  7. NPTEL, along with the exam partner, will make sure that exams are conducted by following appropriate social distancing norms and hygiene rules as required in the current situation.

  8. 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. In this case, you will not get the certificate from us.

Same final score calculation and pass criteria as mentioned in the Course introduction page will be applied  and NPTEL certificates will be given as per that.

Exam fees will not be refunded if you select this option and later do not/cannot take the exam.


In the link given below, you may choose exam cities where you prefer to write exams.


----------------------------------

OPTION 2: CANCEL EXAM AND TAKE A REFUND

NPTEL certificate will NOT be issued in this case and you will only get an attested assignment score sheet. We will create and share a letter stating the Assignment scores obtained in the course, by the end of June, 2020.


We will refund 80% of the exam fees you had paid, with 20% retained by NPTEL towards admin costs. Refund will be initiated only after exams are concluded (after June 25).

By default, your choice will be taken as: CANCEL AND REFUND

***************************************************
More details about the options:

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.

  • 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.
Warm regards
