Instructor bio

Prof. Sounak Kumar Choudhury

IIT Kanpur
I have completed my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Moscow, Russia in 1985 followed by post-doctoral at the same university till 1986. From 1986 I am involved in teaching and research in the Mechanical Engineering Department of Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur. My areas of specialization are conventional and non-conventional machining, automatic control, hydraulic control, machine tools and manufacturing automation.

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: 29th March 2020, 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:
