Seven leading IITs, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant and industry lobby Nasscom are coming together to launch a bunch of free, online courses that could potentially help 100,000-150,000 people a year get high-quality education and make them job-ready. The courses will be offered using the model of massive open online courses (MOOCs), which is globally creating an upheaval in the world of higher education.
