Course Overview
Elementary Stereology for Quantitative Metallography certification is a 4 weeks programme that is conducted by NPTEL and IIT Madras on Swayam’s provider platform. This elective course’s category is Materials Characterization, Metallurgy, and Material science & Mining Engineering which is ideal for students of both undergraduate and postgraduate levels of study.
Quantitative metallography or stereology is nothing but the measurements of certain features like grain size, and second phase spatial distribution catering to observations conducted on 2-D sections. So basically stereology is connected with geometric probability where a small sample size of the material is kept under observation for deriving the microstructural characteristic related to the bulk of that particular material. Elementary Stereology for Quantitative Metallography training gives information on all the above topics. Getting study materials for this course is free, but obtaining certificates are chargeable, and based on students attending proctored exams.

Eligibility Criteria
Educational Qualification
Going by the course name, the participants for being eligible for this programme are Mining Engineering students and Metallurgy and Material science students.
Certification Qualifying Details
- Elementary Stereology for Quantitative Metallography certification by NPTEL and IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras is offered when the students get 40 in total out of 100 together in both the assignments and the final test. However, the marks that need to be secured in the assignments are 10/25, and again for the final test, it should be 30 out of 75.
What you will learn
With the Elementary Stereology for Quantitative Metallography certification syllabus, the candidates will gain elementary-level knowledge of stereology that is necessary for quantitative metallography. The topics covered are geometrical probability, distribution of probability, stereological parameters, particle size distribution, and many more.
Who it is for
If participants have a huge interest in the quantification related to microstructures then they can be going ahead with pursuing this programme. Moreover, this course will be of special help to biotechnologists, and pathologists.
Admission Details
Follow the below admission procedure for the Elementary Stereology for Quantitative Metallography classes:
Step 1: Follow Swayam’s official website: https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc21_mm25/preview
Step 2: Clicking the ‘Sign in/Register’ button on the webpage is the next step.
Step 3: Then candidates have to register by putting across some personal details on the form, and submit it.
Step 4: As the application gets accepted, the candidates may start by accessing the course lectures.
Application Details
Swayam allows just using some personal information like name, email address, and mobile number for registering for new accounts. Other than that no other detailed information is needed. Only if certification is a factor, candidates may have to fill in a form online which is the registration form for the proctored examination.
The Syllabus
- Method of Stereology
- Geometrical Probability - I
- Geometrical Probability II
- Probability Distributions
- Basic Stereological Parameters
- Counting of grains and particles
- Description of Polycrystalline Microstructures derived measures
- Size distribution of particles
- Other applications of the Disector
Evaluation process
There is only one final end test conducted for getting the certification of completion. The total marks for this exam are 75 where securing 30 is the bare minimum. Again the average mark to be secured in the assignments is 10 out of 25. When candidates receive both these marks combined, then the candidates are able to secure a completion government-approved certification. Falling in any of the above categories will result in disqualification for the certification.
