Course Overview

The Symmetry and Group Theory online course belongs to the postgraduate level of the program from the department of chemistry. The course is offered to the students by the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune and it is made available to the participants through the platform of Swayam which is a government-initiated website that provides free education to all the candidates. The Symmetry and Group Theory certification syllabus takes up to 12 weeks of time to be completed by the mentor while candidates can take any amount of time that is needed to complete the program according to their schedules. The course can be pursued at the speed that the candidate wants. There are no restrictions regarding the execution of the course. 

Candidates who pursue the Symmetry and Group Theory training also get a chance to be certified participants at the end of the program if they qualify for the exam scheduled by the creator of the course. Although the sessions are held in offline mode throughout the duration, the exam that takes place for the certification will be conducted in the offline mode. Candidates need not pay any money as the Symmetry and Group Theory certification course is absolutely free unless they choose to go for the exam which needs a specific amount to be paid as the exam fees.
