National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning

Today while i was googling for some study material on Civil engineering i cam across this website.

http://nptel.iitm.ac.in/

And i must say that is very good initiative taken by the IIT's and IISc.I was aware of the OpenCourseWare Initiative by MIT but never expected anything of this type from the indian institutes.The course work which consists of lectures (audio/video) alongwith assignments is very detailed and comprehensive and will be very helpful for anyone looking to refresh his engineering basics. Some study material can be downloaded and the best part of all this is it's free.For the time being courses in basic streams of engineering is offered. I hope they will also add the course works for basic sciences also.

Kudos to Ministry of Human Resources for funding this project. Hope they continue the good work.
