Below, you can find course material covering a variety of disciplines. Pure Muslims (from land of the pure) beware that the instructors are Hindus.

^ They have actually contributed massively, I follow some of these courses regularly. Professor Sharma who teaches signal processing courses, such a wonderful person..he personally helped me out a lot with some concepts over email correspondence.It's enough that I know, Our time had a home, In your heart..Was a place..But the glass always breaks.. -
It's true that the Indians have contributed, but what MIT has done in open courseware is truly unparalleled and of far greater scale with respect to eloquence and precise delivery about the following disciplines.
Stanford and others have joined as well. Now, you can get an elite IVY league education for free. My personal interactions with IIT grads, which I know many of because of my field of study, has been terrible to say the least. Anyways, thus far, all I've seen is parrots, and I'm patiently waiting for the day I'm proven wrong. The quality just isn't there, it's just ratafication at it's best, and I sincerely wish they can follow the foot steps of the AAU universities, where research and innovation along with a quality education is stressed. I guess it makes sense why they all flock in a bunch to US schools. The IIT, where most of my friends hail from is the Delhi one. They all speak very ill of it, I guess because of the opportunities that they have here, that were unimaginable there. Just my dwai pawleyan.
Caveat:
They might have amazing students, so don't take the above as a generalization -- it's far from it. Just my experience.Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

^ I think they cover the basics really well especially if you are used to old-school math where they'd spend lectures on just proving the damn thing for the heck of itIt's enough that I know, Our time had a home, In your heart..Was a place..But the glass always breaks..Comment

Admin Khan, the instructing in many videos is not very good (look at Math I and II courses in Basic Sciences section). The instructors in many videos don't have a good command of language and are not able to expound the concepts in an effective manner. But there is some good lecturing there e.g., watch the following set of lectures on wavelets.Originally posted by Admin Khan View PostIt's true that the Indians have contributed, but what MIT has done in open courseware is truly unparalleled and of far greater scale with respect to eloquence and precise delivery about the following disciplines.

As for rote-learning, this is a common problem in SA where learning means memorization and exact reproduction in papers or exams. Learning is more imitation than knowledge creation and application.
