Additionally, 1,200 hours of video content are available in Hindi to supplement the learning experience of Hindi-speaking students.

NPTEL has emphasized key subjects such as computer science, social sciences, and electrical engineering.

NPTEL has translated its courses into 11 languages, including Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu. The aim is to help learners who completed their schooling in regional languages and are transitioning to English for technical education.

NPTEL, a joint venture between IITs and IISc, is funded by the Ministry of Education (MoE) and launched in 2003. It offers hundreds of courses for certification every semester across 22 disciplines. Translated materials undergo rigorous review by Quality Control (QC) experts and are made available on the SWAMYAM and NPTEL websites in various formats, including PDF transcripts, e-books, subtitles, scrolling text, and audio formats. Technical terminology is retained in English to ensure accuracy and enhance the overall learning experience.
