Any student will be able to avail the benefits of transferring the credits for any of the open online courses. These courses will be profitable to those in academia as well as working professionals.

These courses are not only easily available to the students but also hold good ground in terms of quality. In the year 2019, six of the online courses available on SWAYAM were included in the Class Central’s list of 30 best online courses.
