Course Overview

The Theory of Production Processes programme aims to give its candidates a good understanding of the science behind the primary production processes, which are, casting, forming, and welding. It will teach you how each procedure takes place and how the products are finally manufactured and the basic principles behind these processes.

Swayam’s Theory of Production Processes course will provide its candidates with awareness about the theoretical aspects of several manufacturing processes that are included in any Production process course. The course has been divided into three modules, each to be completed in 4 weeks. Thus, you can complete the course in around 12 weeks.

Moreover, the Theory of Production Processes programme offered by Swayam is an online course for undergraduates. It is a core course, under the Manufacturing processes and technology category. All course material, including video lectures, readings, quizzes, and tests can be accessed for free by the candidate. Professor Pradeep Kumar Jha teaches it from IIT Roorkee.

You will be able to enroll in the Theory of Production Processes online programme and access all the course material completely free of cost. All the in-course assessments and tests are also available for free. However, the end-term examination is optional, and you must pay an examination fee of Rs 1000 to sit for that examination.

Eligibility Criteria

Candidates who have already been introduced to the manufacturing processes and technology will be eligible for doing the Theory of Production Processes online course from Swayam.

To be eligible for the Theory of Production Processes certificate, the candidates must also sit for the end-of-term certification exam and secure at least 30 out of 75 marks in that examination. Besides that, the candidate must obtain an average score of at least 10 out of 25 in the internal assessments.
