Digital Logic and Circuits Simulations

By Prof. Awadhesh Kumar | Banaras Hindu University

Learners enrolled: 497 | Exam registration: 6

ABOUT THE COURSE:

Digital logic and Circuits are the branch of electronics that deals with the representation and manipulation of data in digital form. It is based on the concept of Boolean algebra which uses mathematical systems to represent and manipulate logical statements. It involves the use of combinational circuits such as logic gates, adders, subtractors, Multiplexer, Demultiplexer, comparators, code converters, and sequential circuits like Lathes, Flip-flops, Counter, registers, etc. to process and transmit digital signals. It is used in a wide range of applications, including computer systems, communication systems, and control systems. Some of the key concepts in digital electronics include Boolean algebra, logic gates, code converters, flip-flop counters, and registers.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Undergraduate and Post Graduate Students

Course certificate

The course is free to enroll and learn from. But if you want a certificate, you have to register and write the proctored exam conducted by us in person at any of the designated exam centres.

The exam is optional for a fee of Rs 1000/- (Rupees one thousand only).

Date and Time of Exams: 24 October 2025 Morning session 9am to 12 noon; Afternoon Session 2pm to 5pm.

Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.

The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.

Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 6 assignments out of the total 8 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

Please note that assignments encompass all types (including quizzes, programming tasks, and essay submissions) available in the specific week.

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup. It will have the logos of INI and BHU.
