ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Dr. Ratna Kumar Annabattula is currently an associate professor in the department of mechanical engineering at Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai. He received his PhD (micromechanics of materials) in 2011 from the University of Groningen, The Netherlands. He obtained his ME in 2004 from Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru and BE in 2002 from College of Engineering, Andhra University both in Mechanical Engineering. Prior to starting his PhD, he worked for about a year with General Electric India Technology Center, Bangalore. Before joining as a faculty at IIT Madras, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. Ratna Kumars research interests are in the area of mechanics of stimuli-responsive materials, granular materials and multi physics modeling of materials with applications to lithium ion batteries and nuclear fusion.
Certification Process
1. Join the course
Learners may pay the applicable fees and enrol to a course on offer in the portal and get access to all of its contents including assignments. Validity of enrolment, which includes access to the videos and other learning material and attempting the assignments, will be mentioned on the course. Learner has to complete the assignments and get the minimum required marks to be eligible for the certification exam within this period.
COURSE ENROLMENT FEE: The Fee for Enrolment is Rs. 3000 + GST
2. Watch Videos+Submit Assignments
After enrolling, learners can watch lectures and learn and follow it up with attempting/answering the assignments given.
3. Get qualified to register for exams
A learner can earn a certificate in the self paced course only by appearing for the online remote proctored exam and to register for this, the learner should get minimum required marks in the assignments as given below:
CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE
Assignment score = Score more than 50% in at least 9/12 assignments.
Exam score = 50% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100
Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.”
4. Register for exams
The certification exam is conducted online with remote proctoring. Once a learner has become eligible to register for the certification exam, they can choose a slot convenient to them from what is available and pay the exam fee. Schedule of available slot dates/timings for these remote-proctored online examinations will be published and made available to the learners.
EXAM FEE: The remote proctoring exam is optional for a fee of Rs.1500 + GST. An additional fee of Rs.1500 will apply for a non-standard time slot.
5. Results and Certification
After the exam, based on the certification criteria of the course, results will be declared and learners will be notified of the same. A link to download the e-certificate will be shared with learners who pass the certification exam.
