The site, which offers both IT and non-IT courses, can be accessed at aptechonlinevarsity.com. Aptech, which has over 1400 centers in 28 countries, expects 2 million monthly pageviews by year-end, said executive director Promod Khera. "We have worked on the portal for over six months and are extremely delighted with the outcome," he said. Khera said that students can register online and pay the course fees through bank checks, or at the Aptech training centers until payments on the Net becomes a regular affair in India. Students and corporates will be able to access a variety of courses in IT, management, personality development and other areas. Aptech Online head R.
