very simple explanations about tough concepts i love that.Personally i would love more if there are some formulas giving in the course or more graphs from particular books.

By Flavie Ailhaud on 10/7/2025

Good course material, the pace might be a bit slow sometimes, but it enables you to take the time to understand the key concepts when needed. The instructor is involved in the teaching and it shows :) I looked for more information from other sources for some specific notions, but this course offers a good path and guideline to learning about semiconductors.

By John Gahan on 11/7/2024

i am a retired electronics engineer. i was a lecturer in a private training school i lectured on the helium neon laser and built trigger circuits for laser diodes. i was a workshop engineer in dictaphone company.

By William P Fowler on 8/16/2023

I think it was an excellent match since I need to progress through and review semiconductors after taking the course on the basics of DC circuits. It has been a very long time since I studied semiconductors and I need the review. The instructor does an excellent job of explaining the concepts. So far my experience with the course is about average as it can be difficult for me to understand what the instructor is saying at times. My experience with the course will probably get better.

By Sujit Das on 6/20/2023

Content is very good, in fact. Delivery could be better in my humble opinion. Actually, I have seen almost all of the students are quite ok with the delivery. In that case, perhaps, I am the only one, or one of the very few students who did not enjoy the delivery at highest level!

By C Karthik on 9/5/2022

Excellent course all the semiconductor concepts are explained in great detail and almost all of your semiconductor confusions/doubts which you had in the past (i.e if you studied semiconductors) will be cleared in this course. And also this course is for all levels even beginners who have very basic knowledge on electricity will be able to understand everything clearly. Course Instructor is also very friendly.

By Andrew Starc on 2/23/2022

This course is way too technical for beginners like me but sir has explained the concepts in such an easy way that anyone can understand it, the only thing this course need is proper subtitles and clear language else everything is good.

By David border on 2/16/2022

This course was truly an eye-opener into the world of semiconductors. A big thank you to Swarit for creating and sharing it. I had searched extensively for quality content on semiconductors, but nothing came close to the clarity and depth you provided.

By Haadi oshtrok on 2/7/2022

Enjoying the content. Before enrolling in the course I use to think that semiconductors is difficult to understand but sir has explained the concept in very easy way.

By Siddhant Deshmukh on 9/23/2021

I found some of his videos to be a bit lengthy, but I would say it's worth it as this is the best explanation I have ever seen about the concepts, great work, thanks for making this course
