NPTEL

You can also explore the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL). It is an initiative spearheaded by the IITs and IISc which includes a catalogue of over 2400 courses taught by professors from these institutes. The best part? Access to all these course lecture videos and assignments is completely free—you only need to pay Rs 1000 if you wish to appear for an in-person course exam to be officially certified.

Most professors at IITM offer NPTEL courses, several of which are recorded in classrooms with IITM students who are enrolled in the in-person, IITM equivalent of the course. You can visit the website here or here to find out more about this.
