About us
SWAYAM Portal is initiated by Alagappa University.
To enhance flexibility in earning academic credits through the SWAYAM platform and make higher education more accessible, the UGC has introduced a new framework allowing universities to conduct examinations for SWAYAM courses.This initiative comes after a series of state-level awareness meetings held between October-November 2023 and April-May 2024, along with online discussions with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) led by the UGC Chairman and Joint Secretary (TEL) from the Ministry of Education. These meetings reflected the increasing interest of universities in adopting SWAYAM courses for credit transfer and the need for a more flexible examination process.
Digital Education cell
The SWAYAM/MOOCs (Digital Education) Cell was formed in the month of November 2017 at Alagappa University, Karaikudi.
The main objective of this effort is to take the best teaching-learning resources to all.
1123 students selected the MOOCs courses in the SWAYAM Platform.
Each Dept. has a Co-ordinator to promote and encourage selecting the MOOCs through SWAYAM platform.
Credit Transfer
UGC has already issued the UGC (Credit Framework for online learning courses through SWAYAM) Regulation 2016 advising the Universities to identify courses where credits can be transferred on to the academic record of the students for courses done on SWAYAM. AICTE has also put out gazette notification in 2016 and subsequently for adoption of these courses for credit transfer.
