Course Overview
The online session on Non-Metallic Materials by Swayam has been structured with the primary aim of providing the students the basic understanding of the relation that exists in the nonmetallic materials and also its wide range of applications.
For the easy convenience of the students, the entire Non-Metallic Materials certification syllabus module has been divided into twelve weekly modules that further contains- five lectures with each duration of thirty minutes to help the applicants learn in a comprehensive manner.
The Non-Metallic Materials certification benefits the enrolled candidates by providing them real-world application knowledge about- diffusion, polymers, glass, ceramics, economics, corrosion, and other such topics that are directly or indirectly related to the subject of non-metallic materials. Upon completing the online course the students will have learned the various ways of measuring the electrochemical properties of non-metallic materials. They will also study the phase transformation involved in non-metals.

Eligibility Criteria
Certification Qualification Details
To avail of the Non-Metallic Materials online course certification, all the interested candidates have to register themselves first and then have to appear for the examination. For getting the Non-Metallic Materials certification, the students have to secure the marks of >=40/100 and have an assignment score of >=10/25. The candidates will be considered successful only if they score 75% marks out of 100 in the end-term exam. For getting the e-certificate they all have to thus secure a score of 25% of the average of the best 8 assignments that have been given to them out of the total of 12 assignments.
