Instructor bio

Prof. Prasanna Gandhi

IIT Bombay

Dr Prasanna Gandhi, Professor in mechanical engineering, is also Director of Suman Mashruwala Advanced Microengineering Laboratory, and Professor-in-charge of IITB-Monash Academy. Prasanna’s current research focuses on the areas of polymer and ceramic 3D micro-printing systems, control of fluid instabilities for Spontaneous Multiscale Manufacturing (SMM), dynamics and control of ultra-flexible mechanism systems for applications in micro-printing, micro-fluidics, medical robotics, products, and devices. He was pioneer in setting up non-VLSI based 3D digital microfabrication and characterization facility in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bombay for the first time in India in 2004. Some of the technologies developed in his laboratory are transferred and licensed to Indian Space Research Organisation, Ordnance Factory Board, and a few private companies. He also is co-founder of Flexmotion Technologies, a startup based on compliant mechanisms technology developed at his laboratory.

Among other honours, he is a recipient of Robert Lowry Patten Award at Rice University (2000), BOYSCAST fellowship (2006) of Govt of India, Best faculty award (2008), FIE foundation award at IMTEX (2019), P K Patwardhan Technology Development Award (2021), SERB Technology Translation Award (2022), and Abdul Kalam Technology Innovation National Fellowship (2022), Chandrayn-3 honour (2023), MP Baya National Award (2023). He is certified teacher of stress relieving, personality enhancing Art of Living courses since 2010 and has taught several courses making positive difference to lives of students, householders, and professionals alike.

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: 02 November 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 Bombay .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.
