SWAYAM is a Government of India initiative aimed at promoting accessibility, equity, and quality in education. It seeks to provide high-quality teaching and learning resources to all, including historically underserved populations. SWAYAM strives to bridge the digital divide, ensuring that even those who have not benefited from the digital revolution can participate in the knowledge economy.

SWAYAM offers courses in four categories: video lectures, downloadable/ printable reading materials, self-assessment tests through quizzes, and an online discussion forum for addressing doubts. To enhance the learning experience, it employs state-of-the-art pedagogy and technology, including audio-video and multimedia.

Nine national coordinators have been appointed to ensure the production and delivery of high-quality content:

1. AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) for self-paced and international courses
2. NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning) for Engineering
3. UGC (University Grants Commission) for non-technical post-graduation education
4. CEC (Consortium for Educational Communication) for undergraduate education
5. NCERT (National Council of Educational Research and Training) for school education
6. NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling) for school education
7. IGNOU (Indira Gandhi National Open University) for out-of-school students
8. IIMB (Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore) for management studies
9. NITTTR (National Institute of Technical Teachers Training and Research) for Teacher Training programs

Courses offered on SWAYAM are accessible to learners at no cost. However, those seeking a SWAYAM certificate must register for the final proctored exams, which entail a fee, and attend the exams in person at designated centers on specified dates.
