SWAYAM is an acronym for “Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds”. It is an Indian government initiative designed to achieve the three cardinal principles of education policy: access, equity, and quality.

SWAYAM is an online platform offering free access to courses from Class 9 to post-graduation, developed by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (now Ministry of Education) and AICTE with the help of Microsoft.

The courses hosted on SWAYAM are available free of cost to learners, however, learners wanting a SWAYAM certificate should register for the final exam that comes at a nominal fee and attend in-person at designated centers. The courses are delivered through four quadrants: (1) video lectures, (2) specially prepared reading material that can be downloaded/printed, (3) self-assessment tests through quizzes and tests, and (4) an online discussion forum for clearing doubts.
