The Advanced NMR Techniques in Solution and Solid-State certification by IISc Bangalore is a 12-week online course. This online certification course is designed for postgraduates and research students providing them with an introduction to NMR and the internal interaction parameters. The Advanced NMR Techniques in Solution and Solid-State certification syllabus at IISc Bangalore will also discuss some advanced concepts and techniques, such as NOE and ROE, spin system nomenclature, relaxation phenomenon and their measurements, quantum mechanical analysis of spectra, chemical exchange, and others.
The Advanced NMR Techniques in Solution and Solid-State online course is delivered online via Swayam. To pursue this online course, students are required to have a basic knowledge of NMR Spectroscopy and Analysis of Spectra. Upon completion of the Advanced NMR Techniques in Solution and Solid-State training programme, they can enter the pharma industries that have NMR facilities.
There is no Advanced NMR Techniques in Solution and Solid-State certification fee. This online course is available for free. However, to get a verified certificate, students will have to appear in an in-person proctored exam conducted at designated exam centres. For this, they will be required to pay an examination fee of Rs 1,000.

Evaluation process
Students are required to sit for an examination for the Advanced NMR Techniques in Solution and Solid-State training course to get a certificate.
The exam will be conducted in person at the designated exam centres. There are 25% marks are allotted for the best eight assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course where students need to secure at least 10 marks. Conversely, 75% of marks are allotted for the proctored certification exam which is conducted for 100 marks where students are required to score at least 30%. So, a student has to secure>= 40/100 to earn the certificate.
