Course Overview
The primary objective of an optimized system is to find out specific control signals. These control signals will maximize or minimize a particular performance criterion while satisfying other physical constraints. The Optimal Control program is a postgraduate course for people who want to learn about different optimization techniques using various methods of approach.
Optimal Control certification is a collaboration between NPTEL and IIT Roorkee. Professor Barjeev Tyagi of IT Roorkee has designed the syllabus and will be the instructor for the course. This is an elective postgraduate course in electrical, electronics, and communications engineering intended for postgraduates, scientists, research engineers, and non-PhD faculty.
Optimal Control is an online course with eight weeks duration covering an extensive syllabus. Candidates will receive multiple assignments to evaluate their progress. There is also an optional in-person examination offered for candidates interested in an e-certificate. All the course material, along with any necessary information, is available on the Swayam website.

Eligibility Criteria
Optimal Control program participants need to know about advanced control systems to understand this course thoroughly.
Certification Qualifying Details
Certification qualification eligibility includes securing a passing assignment score and a passing exam score. These two scores will be added to find the final score.
For the assignment score, participants need to submit all assignments and secure a minimum of 10/25 in the best 6 of 8 assignments. They also need to sit for an offline exam and score a minimum of 30/75. The final passing score is 40/100. Only candidates who complete all three criteria will be awarded the certificate.
What you will learn
In the Optimal Control program, participants will learn about:
- Optimization techniques based on the approach
- Optimization techniques based on the interest
- Optimization techniques based on the nature of signals
- Optimization techniques based on the stage
- Different performance criteria
Who it is for
Optimal Control online course has been designed for scientists, postgraduates, non-PhD candidates, and research engineers.
Admission Details
Individuals can enrol in the Optimal Control by Swayam by following these steps:
- Go to the official Swayam website https://swayam.gov.in/ and run a search for ‘Optimal Control’ in the search box of the course catalog.
- A box will appear with two columns: ‘Upcoming (Enrollment Open)’ and ‘Ongoing (Enrolment Closed)’. If the course is in the upcoming column, tap on join.
- A sign-up form will appear. Log in or sign up with appropriate details.

Evaluation process
Swayam concludes the Optimal Control training by organizing a proctored end-term exam at its designated exam centers. Only candidates who pay the certification fee can take the exam. They can attend either of the two sessions: morning (9 AM – 12 PM) or afternoon (2 PM – 5 PM).
Candidates are intimated about all the exam-related details in advance, including the exam centers, date, timings, etc. Swayam also releases a registration URL for the online exam form.
