Which among the following is NOT a National Coordinator for Higher Education Courses on SWAYAM?

The correct answer is
National Institute for Open Schooling

SWAYAM National Coordinators for Higher Education

The SWAYAM platform offers online courses across various disciplines. Specific institutions are designated as National Coordinators to develop and manage courses in their respective domains.

National Coordinators for SWAYAM Higher Education Courses

  • Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU): Acts as a coordinator for vocational and skill-based courses, alongside general higher education.
  • Consortium for Educational Communication (CEC): Coordinates non-technical undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
  • National Institute of Technical Teacher Training and Research (NITTTR): Manages technical education courses on the platform.

Role of National Institute for Open Schooling (NIOS)

The National Institute for Open Schooling (NIOS) primarily coordinates courses related to secondary education (e.g., 10th and 12th grade equivalent open schooling). Its focus is not on higher education courses offered via SWAYAM.

Conclusion

Based on their primary roles, NIOS is not designated as a National Coordinator specifically for Higher Education Courses on the SWAYAM platform, unlike IGNOU, CEC, and NITTTR.
