Electronic Systems Design: Hands-on Circuits and PCB Design with CAD Software

By Prof. Ankur Gupta | IIT Delhi

Learners enrolled: 7400 | Exam registration: 2148

ABOUT THE COURSE:
This course is designed with an aim to make participants familiar with printed circuit board (PCB) design and fundamentals of electronic circuits. Participants will have the capability to examine and build fundamental analog and digital circuits, in addition to creating printed circuit boards, assembling them, and ensuring their proper functionality. Participants will have the opportunity to utilize various CAD and design tools, including schematic entry, PCB layout and routing, circuit simulators, CircuitMaker, and other related software. Participants will gain practical skills in activities such as circuit construction, exporting circuits to PCB layout, working with through holes and vias, and performing routing, among other techniques.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Candidates having or pursuing BTech/MTech/MS/BSc/MSc/PhD degree. Candidates with background in electronics can also attend.

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.
The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).
Date and Time of Exams: 27 October 2024 Morning session 9am to 12 noon; Afternoon Session 2pm to 5pm.
Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Madras .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
