National Program on Technology Enhanced Learning – NPTEL is a joint venture of the 7 IITs and IISc, Bangalore funded by the Ministry Of Human Resource Development , Government of India.
This program is to enhance the quality of engineering education in the country by developing curriculum based video and web courses.In the first phase of the project, content for 129 web courses in engineering/science and humanities have been developed.
This is really a boon for self learners and engineering students who have less efficient technical resources for teaching and guidance.
There are many video lectures delivered by experienced IITs/IISc lecturers which are concept oriented and are of industrial importance. For instance the Electrical and Electronic engineering branches have lectures on Embedded systems, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, VLSI design,Power electronics etc.
Details about obtaining these courses can be found here
Collaboration with Google/YouTube:
The best part of the program is if you are connected to Internet, then you can view all the courses online in YouTube. There are about 3629 lecture high quality videos online, each running from 40 to 60 minutes. Each topic has a complete set of 35 to 45 videos organized as Playlists.
Downloading these lectures
These videos can be downloaded individually from sites like downloadyoutubevideos or can be mass downloaded using software like Free FLV converter or Internet Download Manager (IDM).
I will show how to download maximum of 10 videos simultaneously using IDM. It does this by capturing series of YouTube urls from Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox (Recommended). You can buy IDM or crack it to use it as a full version.
Just load some lecture videos (max 10) continuously in a window allow them to run at least 2 to 3 seconds. After this right click in the same window select “Download FLV video with IDM”---> “Choose from 10 last requested FLV videos”.
A selection window opens and select the videos which you like to download.
Comment those videos if needed and add it to the IDM download list by pressing OK.
Downloading 10 videos simultaneously in a 2 Mbps BSNL broadband connection takes 3.5 to 4.5 hours.
Hope the information was useful!
