1. video lecture,
2. specially prepared reading material that can be downloaded/printed,
3. self-assessment tests through tests and quizzes and
4. an online discussion forum for clearing the doubts.
The goal is to offer high-quality education to all individuals interested in studying at the IITs and to develop online and video tutorials covering all key areas of engineering and physical sciences at the bachelor’s level.
