NPTEL is an acronym for National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning which provides E-learning through online Web and Video courses in Engineering, Science and humanities streams. It is an initiative by seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) and Indian Institute of Science (IISc) for creating course contents in engineering and science. Five engineering branches (Civil, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Data Science, Cyber Security and Electronics and Communication ) and core science programme that all engineering students are required to take in their undergraduate engineering in India were chosen initially. Contents for the above courses were based on the model curriculum suggested by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and the syllabi of major affiliating Universities in India.
