Eligibility Criteria

An introductory knowledge about numerical methods is sufficient for enrolling into the Numerical Methods: Finite Difference Approach program. 

Certificate Qualifying Details

Furthermore, the Numerical Methods: Finite Difference Approach certification is optional, as it requires exam payment. Swayam mandates two criteria that aspirants must clear to obtain this certificate. Amongst the four weekly assignments, candidates must secure an average of 10 upon 25 markings (25% of the top three). 

Students must also acquire 30 upon 75 or more (75% of the obtained marks on 100) in the offline proctored exam.  Only after fulfilling these criteria students can get their Numerical Methods: Finite Difference Approach certificate. Without doing so, they can’t receive it even after obtaining the required total of 40/100 as their final marks.
