NPTEL Local Chapter
It is a partnership between the college and NPTEL. To take this initiative forward and to encourage more students across colleges to participate in this initiative, NPTEL are setting up NPTEL chapter in colleges (with the approval of the management) which will be under the headship of a faculty member of the college, who would be Single Point of Contact (SPOC).
NPTEL will keep the SPOC updated about all the latest NPTEL initiatives and give him/her information which he/she can disseminate among the students. He/she can identify suitable mentors for various courses, who can ensure that students are active in a course, are submitting their assignments on time and also clarify the doubts they may have.
