Massive Open Online Course (Mooc)
1. Purpose
Students at BIT Mesra have the option to select either MOOC courses or Open
Elective courses. To ensure that they complete the appropriate course on time and
facilitate a smooth credit transfer, it is important to adhere to the following
guidelines.
2. Eligibility for MOOC Courses
Students can enroll only in MOOC courses offered by NPTEL through the Swayam Portal
(https://swayam.gov.in/). Courses from other online platforms will not be eligible for
credit transfer.
3. Credit Requirements
To earn 3 credits, students must complete a 12-week MOOC course. Shorter courses will
not be eligible for credit transfer. For 2 credits, students should complete an 8-week
MOOC course from NPTEL.
4. Enrollment Process
a. Swayam Registration: Register for the chosen NPTEL course on the Swayam portal,
completing the registration process and paying any applicable fees.
b. Institute Registration: Concurrently, register the same course in the institute’s ERP
system during the official registration period. This step is crucial for ensuring that the
MOOC grades are included in the semester results.
5. Documentation
a. Provide details of your MOOC course, including the course code, name, and exam
date, to your department’s MOOC coordinator.
b. Submit both hard and soft copies of the Swayam registration confirmation to your
MOOC coordinator.
6. Course Completion Requirements
a. Complete all assignments and the final exam to receive the course certificate. Failure
to complete any component, even if you score above the passing percentage, will result
in not receiving a certificate from Swayam.
b. The minimum passing marks are 40% for undergraduate students and 50% for
postgraduate and Pre-PhD coursework students.
7. Credit Transfer
Credits will be transferred to your academic record only after successful completion of
the course, meeting the passing marks, and receiving the certificate.
8. Reattempt Policy
If you do not pass the course, you must re-register for the course in both Swayam and
ERP during the next semester to attempt it again.
9. Submission of Certificate
After completing the MOOC, submit both hard and soft copies of the certificate to your
department’s MOOC coordinator.
10. Important Note
Courses from platforms other than NPTEL are not eligible for credit transfer. Ensure you
follow all guidelines carefully to avoid any academic discrepancies and ensure a smooth
credit transfer process.
