I got a certificate for Design and Analysis of Algorithm (78%) by NPTEL course I mentioned it in my resume for 2 interview . 1.Cognizant : I was not asked to show my certificate and might be over looked . 2.Infosys : I showed the certificate and the interviewer reaction was okay types but after seeing IIT Madras at bottom of certificate his reaction changed and was too happy .Then asked to explain the course then asked about the toughest algorithm/program faced till now. So it depends on the interviewer he may know about it he may not, he may consider it useful and may not . So basically by adding it to your CV you are directing your interviewer to ask question about that topic nothing more. Its up to him to ask you different question on that topic or ignore it .
