Indian Tech Universities Put Lectures Online For Free 40

sas-dot writes "The most sought-after Indian institutions like IIT and IISc have put their course lectures on YouTube. The site is up from last December and is slowly gaining momentum in terms of lectures available online. This is India's own program similar to MIT's OpenCourseWare. Good to see the competition, and that students have many sources of knowledge for free."

    I am just happy that some of the lectures are from those exceptional professors who are about to retire.

    Hopefully this will be a lot helpful to those who, like me, miss all the morning classes :)

    Well my University did. As computer science was part of the College of Arts and Sciences. The difference was an extra CS Class required and an extra Math Class. People who took the BA usually did so when they were in a Duel Major program Say Major in Music and Computer Science as not having to take 2 extra classes. Made getting both degrees possible.

    Have you tried second hand book stores or campus book sales? With the former, you can books at 10% of the retail price, while with the latter, you can get textbooks for less than 1 pound/dollar each. And they will have everything from architecture to biology, chemistry and zoology.
