Certificates:

We are awarding two kinds of certificates. If a participant has performed well in the quizzes we will give him/her a "C" (Competency) certificate. To those students who could not do that well in quizzes, but have participated in the course to a reasonably consistent level, we will give a "P" (Participation) certificate. A participant will get either of these certificates.

Precise criterion for both of the above types of certificates is as below:

• If your aggregate score from all quizzes is more than 40% then you get a "C" certificate. For example, assuming both quizzes to be of 100 marks and you scored 20 marks in quiz-1  and 70 in quiz-2 then your combined score (20 + 70 = 90) is more than 40% (0.4 x 2 x 100 = 80) hence you get the "C" certificate.
• If you do not qualify for a "C" certificate, but your aggregate score from "attendance" and quizzes is more than 50% then you will get a "P" certificate. We calculate your "attendance" score by looking at yours viewing statistics for Core Lecture videos/slides (PDF). For example, if your score on "attendance" is 45% and your score on all quizzes is 5% then you will get a "P" certificate.

Based on these criteria, certificates have been prepared. Each certificate, "C" or "P" is jointly signed by the Center for Continuing Education, IIT Kanpur and the Commonwealth of Learning.
