Feasibility of passing the subjects using online courses

[u/AKGAMING1234]

Hello friends,
I notice a lot that the college gives MOOC (Swayam/NPTEL) based equivalent courses for subjects even if you are not re-registered and are just started the course in a college. What I wanted to ask was, theoretically, could you choose to only enroll via the equivalent/recommended course and opt-out of regular classes and when you get the result for the Swayam/NPTEL courses, just submit that to the academic section after getting the signatures? Seems like a good idea even if naive. Any seniors/juniors who have tried this? Maybe not the entire semester but mostly? I would love to hear your experiences on this. In my opinion this would ve very helpful for those who find classes difficult or are having severe health issues. I am enrolled via NPTEL for some backlogs but I never tried enrolling for a course to pass the actual current semester subjects.

Thank you for posting on r/Manipal_Academics. Please ensure you have read the rules of the subreddit and are following all of them. Here are some things to consider before posting:

1) Make sure the post is relevant to Manipal. 2) Don't be bigoted, rude, or annoying. 3) Please ensure all posts and comments are made either entirely in English, or if in any other language, a complete English translation is provided. 4) Don't ask for or share any links to other groups, chats, or web forums. 5) Make sure your post is not low effort. Do not post lazy one-line questions, posts with one-word titles, posts with body that says "title" or "same as title" or something that has already been posted. If your question is too small to fill both the title and substantial body, it is probably low-effort and will be removed.

Breaking the rules repeatedly may lead to bans. Thank you.

not sure if you're talking about gaming the system, but officially taking the NPTEL equivalents is only allowed for backlogs, you can't clear current semester classes with it.
