National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) is a project of MHRD
created to provide quality education to anyone interested in learning from the IITs. NPTEL
was initiated by seven Indian Institutes of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur,
Madras, Guwahati and Roorkee) along with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in
2003. Five core disciplines were identified namely, Civil Engineering, Computer Science
and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering and
Mechanical Engineering. 289 courses in web/video format were developed in this phase.
The main goal of NPTEL Phase II (2009-14) was to build on the engineering and core
science courses launched previously in NPTEL Phase I. An additional 600 web and video
courses were created in all major branches of engineering, physical sciences at the
undergraduate and postgraduate levels and management courses at the postgraduate
level. Several improvements such as indexing of all video and web courses and keyword
search were implemented.

ORGANIC FARMING FOR SUSTAINABLE
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
COURSE OUTLINE :
Organic farming is an integrated system of agricultural production based on ecological principles, promotion of
biodiversity, biological cycles and organic matter recycling to maintain and improve soil fertility and environmental
sustainability. The regulations for organic crop cultivation prohibit the use of chemo-synthetic pesticides, mineral
fertilizers, growth promoters and Genetically Modified Organism. Indiscriminate use of these chemicals in
conventional farming poses a serious threat to the quality of produce as well as the environment. Concern about
food safety and security and environmental sustainability is increasing among scientist, administrator and
environmentalist. In view of this, the course is designed to train students on organic farming practices, quality
analysis of the products, environmental impact assessment, health benefit of the organic food etc. After successful
completion of the course, the students should be able to design resource efficient farming system for small and
marginal farmers for improving their economy while meeting the quality food demand in a sustainable
environment.

INTRODUCTION TO BIOSTATISTICS
COURSE OUTLINE :
Observations from biological laboratory experiments, clinical trials, and health surveys always carry some amount of
uncertainty. In many cases, especially for the laboratory experiments, it is inevitable to just ignore this uncertainty
due to large variation in observations. Tools from statistics are very useful in analyzing this uncertainty and filtering
noise from data. Also, due to advancement of microscopy and molecular tools, a rich data can be generated from
experiments. To make sense of this data, we need to integrate this data a model using tools from statistics. In this
course, we will discuss about different statistical tools required to
(i) analyze our observations, (ii) design new experiments, and (iii) integrate large number of observations in single
unified model.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT
AND RECYCLING
COURSE OUTLINE :
With growing concerns over freshwater availability, concept of treating and recycling wastewater is progressively
getting more pertinent. However, wastewater to be recycled need to be treated first for ensuring its quality
sufficiently fit for designated uses,such as irrigation, industrial processes, toilet flushing, ground water recharge etc.
Wastewater treatment can be specifically tailored to meet the water quality requirements of a planned reuse, as
some would need only moderate treatment while few others may require higher degree purification.This course
aims to discuss the various treatment technologies and their application for producing reuse quality water from
wastewater. The course will largely cover topics including the basic philosophy of wastewater treatment, principles
of various wastewater treatment units, conventional treatment systems, advanced treatment processes, recycling

PROGRAMMING IN C++
COURSE OUTLINE :
There has been a continual debate on which programming language/s to learn, to use. As the latest TIOBE Index for
April 2016 indicates – Java (21%), C (14%), C++ (6%), C#(4%), and Python (3%) together control nearly half the
programming community. Given this, it is still important to learn C and C++ because of the efficiency they offer.
While we appreciate that Java is good for applications, for graphics; and we acknowledge that Python is appropriate
for portable software, engineering problem solving, and graphics; it is worth bearing in mind that the JVM and
Python interpreter are indeed written in C++, making C++ the father of all languages today. Well, hence, C++ is the
systems language. Why should I learn it if my primary focus is on applications? This is where the recent updates of
C++, namely, C++11, C++14, and C++17 offer excellent depths and flexibility for C++ that no language can match.
These extensions attempt to alleviate some of the long-standing shortcomings for C++ including porous resource
management, error-prone pointer handling, expression semantics and better readability. The present course builds
up on the knowledge of C programming and basic data structure (array, list, stack, queue etc.) to create a strong
familiarity with C++98 and C++03. Besides the constructs, syntax and semantics of C++ (over C), we also focus on
various idioms of C++ and attempt to go to depth with every C++ feature justifying and illustrating them with
several examples and assignment problems. On the way, we illustrate various OOP concepts.
While this course can be understood independently (after a course in C programming), it would help in developing
understanding in OOP. Hence this course is advised in conjunction with OOP.

COURSE OUTLINE :
Databases form the backbone of all major applications today – tightly or loosely coupled, intranet or internet based,
financial, social, administrative, and so on. Structured Database Management Systems (DBMS) based on relational
and other models have long formed the basis for such databases. Consequently, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase
etc. have emerged as leading commercial systems while MySQL, PostgreSQL etc. lead in open source and free
domain. While DBMS’s differ in details, they share a common set of models, design paradigms and a Structured
Query Language (SQL). In this background the course would examine data structures, file organizations, concepts
and principles of DBMS’s, data analysis, database design, data modeling, database management, data & query
optimization, and database implementation. More specifically, the course introduces relational data models;

PRE-REQUISITES : Algorithms, Machine Learning
INDUSTRIES APPLICABLE TO : Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, Flipkart, LinkedIn etc.
COURSE OUTLINE :
Consider the following example problems: One is interested in computing summary statistics (word count
distributions) for a set of words which occur in the same document in entire Wikipedia collection (5 million
documents). Naive techniques, will run out of main memory on most computers. One needs to train an SVM classifier
for text categorization, with unigram features (typically ~10 million) for hundreds of classes. One would run out of
main memory, if they store uncompressed model parameters in main memory. One is interested in learning either a
supervised model or find unsupervised patterns, but the data is distributed over multiple machines. Communication
being the bottleneck, naïve methods to adapt existing algorithms to such a distributed setting might perform
extremely poorly. In all the above situations, a simple data mining / machine learning task has been made more
complicated due to large scale of input data, output results or both. In this course, we discuss algorithmic techniques
as well as software paradigms which allow one to develop scalable algorithms and systems for the common data
science tasks.

ARTISTIC EXPLORATION IN SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY
COURSE OUTLINE :
Human-nature interaction exudes various outcomes. One of them is folk arts. Folklore, among all the
human sciences, is probably one of the rare fields of inquiry that transcends disciplinary boundaries
tying all expressive forms together. It encompasses not just the formal and standardized forms but also
the rudimentary and fundamental expressive modes. Folklore is a significant tool to arrive at credible
nuances about what it means to be “human” and about human expressive behaviour. In a country like
India where majority of the population resides in rural, technologically untouched societies, it is the folk
lexicon that gives expression to their worldview. The two domains of knowledge—Science and Art are
seemingly different. While the objective of Science is to arrive at absolute truth, for Arts it is aesthetic
expressions. This course brings together these two distant domains of knowledge and explores the
aesthetics of science through Indian folk art.
ABOUT INSTRUCTOR :
Dr. Bitasta Das is presently an Instructor in Undergraduate Programme at Indian Institute Science,

WATER, SOCIETY AND
SUSTAINABILITY
COURSE OUTLINE :
The global water scenario is beset by multiple challenges: water availability, severe inequity to water access and
entitlements across social and spatial lines, frequent floods and droughts, disputes over corporate control of limited
water resources, etc. The world appears to be on track to halve the number of people without access to safe clean
water. However, in the urban Global South, this success masks regional and local inequalities and a process of
urbanization without infrastructure, which is particularly acute in the growing peripheries of existing cities.
Interestingly enough, lessons can be learnt from small-scale community water conservation practices and localized
needs-driven initiatives. Within this context, it is important to understand and address water beyond the physical
and technical attributes and explore the complex and cyclical processes through which water shapes, and, is in turn
shaped by society. The course is located at the intersections across water, technology, science and society towards
sustainable future. It combines fundamental theoretical, methodological approaches and empirical case studies to
introduce and familiarize students with water-society relationship: the contemporary challenges and prospective
potentials.

GENDER JUSTICE AND
WORKPLACE SECURITY
COURSE OUTLINE :
The issue of gender justice has been a matter of discussion and deliberation, both at the international and national
levels. With the increased participation of women in all walks of life, particularly at the workplace and the breaking
of hitherto social, political and religious gender barriers, the issue has assumed significance and become
subject- matter of debate at all levels including law. Today, women are donning multiple roles, apart from being a
homemaker- they are working as top executives in MNCs, working as legislators in State and Central legislatures,
working as educators in the education sector, etc. While the changed societal matrix & perception and economic
globalization have made way for the increased participation of women, the concern over the free play of
discriminatory attitudes and prejudicial mindsets often pose challenges to women and targets of multi-facet
retaliations and disincentives. The incident of Nirbhaya in the Capital of the Nation not only exhibits how such
treatment is basically an anathema to the concept of gender justice but also exposes the barbaric mindset
annihilating the values of basic civilization. The days of yore when women were treated as fragile, feeble, dependent
and subordinate to men, should be a matter of history.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
COURSE OUTLINE :
The course aims to equip students to develop themselves into a critically reflective and capable HRD practitioner, or a manager
who can facilitate the learning of others. The major objective of the course is to explain and demonstrate the contribution of HRD
in an organization and enable student to develop an ability to decide learning and training needs; and have competence in the
design and delivery of learning programmes. Organizations are made up of people: their knowledge, skills, attitudes and
interconnections. In order to survive and thrive, organizations need to facilitate the growth of all of these as part of a HRD strategy.
Human Resource Development (HRD) is a key activity that systematically leads to the growth and development of people in
organisations, and makes organisations more effective. The process of identifying needs and designing and delivering HRD
interventions that are part of the course are crucial skills for all managers. The course will focus on the role of HRD in designing
and implementing appropriate strategies in line with the business goals of their organization.

INTRODUCTION TO FUZZY SET THEORY,
ARITHMETIC AND LOGIC
COURSE OUTLINE :
The primary purpose of this course is to introduce students to the areas of Fuzzy set theory and
Fuzzy logic. No previous knowledge is needed regarding Fuzzy set theory or Fuzzy logic. But
familiarity with Classical set theory, and Two-valued logic will be helpful. In most real-life applications of
any decision making one needs to face many types on uncertainty. While as humans we can deal with
this uncertainty with our reasoning prowess, it is not clear how to deal with this uncertainty in a system.
Fuzzy sets and Fuzzy logic gives us one way of representing this uncertainty and reasoning with them.
This course is aimed at providing a strong background for the subject.

TEACHING AND LEARNING IN GENERAL
PROGRAMS: TALG LEARNING OUTCOMES
COURSE OUTLINE :
The quality of Teaching And Learning in General Programs (Humanities, Social Sciences and
Sciences) (TALG) has come to be an important issue in India to all stakeholders including teachers,
students, parents, Managements, Universities, UGC, AICTE, NAAC and Employers. Undergraduate
programs of three or four year duration are offered in Humanities, Social Sciences and Sciences.
40,000 Degree Colleges provide most of the graduate level workforce to Government and Private
Organizations in India. The quality of learning of their graduates will make a major difference to the
wealth generating and service providing abilities of these organizations. While there has been
significant increase in the last few decades in our understanding of how people learn, there has not
been much intersection of this knowledge with the instructional practices at institutions of higher
learning. The dominant instructional method still remains lecturing/one-way information transfer.
Employers, Regulatory Bodies and Accreditation Agencies in India want the graduates attain a set of
Program Outcomes (knowledge, skills and attitudes) to be identified by the Institutions offering the
General Programs. These Program Outcomes need to be discipline agnostic. The curriculum of a
program decides the nature of learning experiences including the courses, projects, field work,
internships, and co-curricular and extra-curricular activities.
