The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), under the Ministry of Education, has launched a free online Physics course for Class 12 students on the government’s SWAYAM platform. The initiative aims to strengthen conceptual understanding of Physics and provide structured academic support to students across the country.
Enrollment for the course began on September 16, 2025, and will remain open until February 20, 2026. The programme spans 24 weeks and comprehensively covers the entire Class 12 Physics syllabus as prescribed by NCERT.
According to NCERT, the course content is fully aligned with NCERT textbooks and national curriculum standards, making it particularly useful for students preparing for CBSE board examinations as well as competitive entrance tests.
Syllabus Coverage
The online course includes detailed modules on key topics such as:
- Electrostatics and Current Electricity
- Magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction
- Alternating Current and Electromagnetic Waves
- Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation
- Atoms and Nuclei
- Electronic Devices and Communication Systems
Each unit is designed to build conceptual clarity and problem-solving skills through structured learning materials.
Interactive Learning Format
The programme combines e-tutorials, digital study material, self-assessment tools, and discussion forums, offering students an interactive learning environment. Learners can progress at their own pace while reinforcing fundamental concepts and tackling complex numerical problems through guided practice.
NCERT stated that the course is primarily intended for Class 12 students, but it is also open to teachers, parents, competitive exam aspirants, and members of the general public who wish to strengthen their understanding of Physics.
How To Enrol
Interested candidates can register for the course through the official SWAYAM website. Upon successful enrollment, students will gain free access to all course materials for the duration of the programme.
NCERT continues to expand its digital learning initiatives on SWAYAM as part of its broader effort to make quality education accessible and inclusive, particularly for students in remote and underserved regions.
