Course Overview

The C Programming and Assembly Language certification is a 4 weeks programme designed for the students of engineering in the fields of electrical, and computer science by NPTEL and IIT Madras on the Swayam platform. The students of these fields work a lot on Microprocessors, and also in C programming but often their curriculum lacks these two topics. Hence this course was made to build a link between these two concepts.

C Programming and Assembly Language training are for establishing an understanding of how assembly language is translated for benefitting a microprocessor. The course uses different animations that show how C programming is executed based on the data, stack, and code segment of a microprocessor. Established as an FDP course sanctioned by the Government of India, under the computer science engineering category, candidates obtain course completion certificates as and when they attend final exams and secure passing marks.

Eligibility Criteria

Educational Qualification

Some prior knowledge of Microprocessors and C programming is expected from the candidates. Also, the course students must have an engineering B. Tech degree in electrical engineering or a computer science field.

Certification Qualifying Details

The C Programming and Assembly Language certification by NPTEL and IIT Madras is often showered when students deposit Rs. 1000, and pass the final exam by securing 30 marks out of 75. The addition of both the assignment marks and the final exam should be 40 out of 100 provided the assignment marks are 10/25.

What you will learn

Programming skills

The C Programming and Assembly Language certification course will be teaching subjects like Microprocessors, and C programming, their uses, and their special functions in both software, and hardware companies.

Who it is for

All different kinds of learners interested in honing their skills in C programming, and assembly language are welcome.

Admission Details

Here is the C Programming and Assembly Language classes admission process:

Step 1: Follow Swayam’s official website: https://onlinecourses.nptel.ac.in/noc21_cs81/preview.

Step 2: Next make accounts for registration on Swayam.

Step 3: Account registration confirms the admission for the participants.

Step 4: Later on for certificates to be granted additional fee has to be paid and exams should be attended.

Application Details

Using email ids, phone numbers, and name details, candidates will be able to make their new Swayam accounts. Later on, there will be a Swayam application exam form that may be filled up only when students want to attend exams and seek certificates.

Evaluation process

Sitting, for a final exam, and getting pass marks is necessary for certification. It is offered based on what performance the candidates have had during the assignments and the exam. There are two criteria to be fulfilled, one is getting 10/25 as the average marks in 3 out of 4 assignments, and the other criteria is receiving 30/75 in the final exam. Receiving less in any of the exams or assignments, but still making the total to 40/100 will not give any certificates.
