Learners enrolled: 975

Functional programming is an elegant, concise and powerful programming paradigm. This style encourages breaking up programming tasks into logical units that can be easily translated into provably correct code. Haskell brings together the best features of functional programming and is increasingly being used in the industry, both for building rapid prototypes and for actual deployment.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Any one interested in learning this language

PRE-REQUISITES: NIL

INDUSTRY SUPPORT: Would be useful in any industry requiring a good understanding of programming, algorithms and data structures.

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).

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

This course will have an unproctored programming exam also apart from the Proctored exam, please check announcement section for date and time. The programming exam will have a weightage of 25% towards the Final score.

Final score = Assignment score + Unproctored programming exam score + Proctored Exam score

Assignment score = 25% of average of best 6 assignments out of the total 8 assignments given in the course.
( All assignments in a particular week will be counted towards final scoring - quizzes and programming assignments).
Unproctored programming exam score = 25% of the average scores obtained as part of Unproctored programming exam - out of 100
Proctored Exam score =50% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND
UNPROCTORED PROGRAMMING EXAM SCORE >=10/25 AND PROCTORED EXAM SCORE >= 20/50.

If any one of the 3 criteria is not met, you will not be eligible for 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 NPTEL and IIT Madras .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
