This course offers a structured and in-depth exploration of Python programming, equipping learners with both foundational principles and practical expertise. Beginning with an overview of Python’s evolution, key features, and installation, it introduces core programming constructs such as variables, data types, and essential operations. The curriculum progresses to control structures, enabling proficiency in conditional statements, loops, and loop manipulation techniques. A dedicated focus on modular programming covers functions, modules, and package management, fostering efficient code organization and reusability. Additionally, the course delves into file handling, text processing, and advanced pattern-matching techniques using regular expressions. Concluding with an introduction to widely used frameworks like Web2Py, Django, Ruby on Rails, or Struts, this course bridges the gap between theoretical learning and real-world application development, making it ideal for those seeking a strong foundation in Python and its ecosystem.

"The SWAYAM Course Enrolment and learning is free. However, to obtain a certificate, the learner must register and take the proctored exam in person at one of the designated exam centres. The registration URL will be announced by NTA once the registration form becomes available. To receive the certification, you need to complete the online registration form and pay the examination fee. Additional details, including any updates, will be provided upon the publication of the exam registration form. For more information about the exam locations and the terms associated with completing the form, please refer to the form itself."
Grading Policy:
- Internal Assignment Score: This accounts for 30% of the final grade and is calculated based on the average of the best three assignments out of all the assignments given in the course.
- Final Proctored Exam Score: This makes up 70% of the final grade and is derived from the proctored exam score out of 100.
- Final Score: The final score is the sum of the average assignment score and the exam score.
Eligibility for Certification:
- To qualify for a certificate, you must achieve an average assignment score of at least 10 out of 30, and an exam score of at least 30 out of 70. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >=40/100.
Certificate Details:
- The certificate will include your name, photograph, roll number, and the percentage score from the final exam. It will also feature the logos of the Ministry of Education, SWAYAM, and NITTTR.
- Certificate Format: Only electronic certificates (e-certificates) will be issued; hard copies will not be dispatched.
Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy Learning.
