ARPIT (Annual Refresher Programme in Teaching) courses are offered on the SWAYAM platform by National Resource Centres (NRCs) in various disciplines.

NRCs are institutions of higher learning identified by the Ministry of Education for different disciplines and they provide subject-specific courses to update faculty knowledge.

· These courses cover a wide range of disciplines and are developed by National Resource Centres selected for their expertise in the respective fields.
