Course Overview

Global Navigation Satellite Systems And Applications certification is a 4 weeks programme proposed by NPTEL and IIT Roorkee and is launched on the Swayam provider website. This is an elective course falling under the course category of civil engineering. The course is absolutely free to learn but the certification demands extra thousand rupees.

Global Navigation Satellite Systems And Applications training provides a solid understanding of the DEMs which are the digital elevation models, and their applications in earth sciences, and civil engineering. Later on, in the course curriculum, the candidates can identify their source, derivatives, generation techniques, errors, and limitations of the DEMs. The industry support for this certification course is offered by some Geoinformatics companies, like NIIT, Leica Geoinformatics, ESRI India, MapmyIndia, ISRO, and more.

Evaluation process

The final certification needs clearing off the assignments, and the final examination completely. One assignment is scheduled after every module, and from these 4 assignments, students in the best 3, must receive 10/25. But, for the end examination., candidates are told to secure 30 marks out of 75. Again, even if there is a situation where candidates secure 40 marks in total but do not fulfill the separate marks qualification, they shall be barred from owning a certificate.
