Important: Partner institutions issue their own degrees; IIT Kharagpur separately certifies the OCN micro-specialisation credit block. The arrangement is not a joint degree or joint programme. Course offerings are confirmed only upon academic authorisation by IIT Kharagpur and are formally notified through the Institute's official channels.

A Message From The Director

We always wanted to be inclusive, because a nation cannot build until you have the impact of the greatest — the highest quality of advancement — filled all the way to the bottom of the pyramid.

That brings us to the perspective of the Outreach Course Network — where we may be physically outside, but through knowledge, and the sharing of knowledge, with no compromise, we carry the same purpose as our faculty teaching regular students.

After 25 years, we want our students to dictate the future of the nation. From job seekers, they will become opportunity creators. They will create a positive impact on the lives of many, and their success will be counted not by the salary they get from campus placement, but by the number of lives they can possibly impact in a positive way.

Founded by IIT Kharagpur alumni · Orchestration & Governance Partner

An IIT Kharagpur alumni venture, operating from within the ecosystem

ProofSlate's founders spent their formative years at IIT Kharagpur before founding the company. That institutional fluency — across faculty, administration, and governance structures — is what allows ProofSlate to serve as a disciplined, brand-protective orchestration partner for the OCN.

ProofSlate operates under formal agreements with IIT Kharagpur for the governance, orchestration, and deployment of the OCN. The Institute's name and marks are used solely within the scope of OCN programmes, under licence and the Institute's brand governance.
