Education
Fundamental knowledge in science (+2 level) is mandatory. The students need to be undergraduates studying B.Tech in any one of the following branches: Mechanical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mining Engineering, Chemical Engineering.
Certification Qualifying Details
In the written test, 25 percent of the average of the best 8 assignments are given in the course, is considered as ‘Average assignment score’. 75 percent exam score of the proctored certification is also considered. The final score consists of the sum of the average assignment score and the exam score. Students will get the certificate if their average assignment score is more than 10 out of 25. In addition, the students also need to get an exam score of more than 30 out of 75. Students will need to meet both these conditions to get the course completion certificate.
