The National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) was formed to enhance the quality of engineering education in India via joint development video and web-based courses. NPTEL is a collaboration of seven IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology) and IISc (Indian Institute of Science_ Bangalore. Between 2003-2007, content for 110 video and 129 web courses in engineering/science and humanities were developed.

The project was initially conceived in 1999. Funding of 204.7 million Indian Rupees, or roughly USD$4.5 million, was granted for Phase I of the project, which was completed in June 2007. Funding was used to upgrade facilities and develop web- and video-based content.

Content developed in the first phase of NPTEL is available to all government engineering colleges and government-aided institutions approved by the AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education).
