Course Overview
The Structural Analysis - I course is an elementary level course in Structural Analysis. Different methods used to determine how structures respond to environmental conditions and external agitation, and the underlying Physics are discussed in this programme. It is a basic and comprehensive course that will help candidates build a foundation for more technical courses in Structural Engineering.
In the Structural Analysis - I online programme, candidates will learn about the stability, equilibrium, and determinacy of a structure, shear force and bending moment diagram in frames and beams. Also, analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate structures, all in 12 short weeks.
The Structural Analysis - I online course is free to enrol and learn. But if candidates wish to get certified by NPTEL and IIT Kharagpur, they must pay the examination fee and write the 100-mark proctored exam at one of the designated centres. Candidates taking this course can expect to land a lucrative job after graduation, as all Civil Engineering companies will recognise this certification.

Swayam provides the Structural Analysis programme free of any charges. You can simply join the course by registering for it on the website. However, in order to obtain the course certificate, you need to pay a minimal fee of Rs. 1,000 to take the certification examination.
Eligibility Criteria
Working knowledge of Solid Mechanics is a prerequisite for the Structural Analysis - I online course.
Learners will be required to submit 12 assignments in 12 weeks and write a 100-mark proctored exam. And the final score will comprise 75% of the marks obtained in the 100-mark term-end exam and 25% of the average score obtained in the eight best assignments.
The exam score should be 30/75 or more, the average assignment score should be 10/25 or more, and the combined score should be 40/100 or more. To be eligible for certification, the candidate must meet all three conditions.
