The certificate program was conceived with inputs from industry experts and is being continuously upgraded based on technology trends, market trends and industry needs. During the six-month, 120-hour certification program, the working professionals are offered a format in which they have flexibility in watching content that is backed up with periodic live online sessions with faculty. The clarifications and assessments on the course content are IT-enabled, with support from teaching assistants wherever required.

The course, being offered through IIT Madras’ Centre for Outreach and Digital Education (CODE), provides an overview of the e-mobility ecosystem as well as fundamentals in technical areas such as vehicle development, power electronics, battery engineering, thermal management, power trains, and EMI/EMC, among other areas. 

Prof Devendra Jalihal, Chairman, Centre for Outreach and Digital Education (CODE), IIT Madras, said, “We worked with industry leaders and designed this course to suit working professionals who are looking to get an overview of e-mobility. We knew then that it was a unique offering with very high value. But none of us in the team expected such high appreciation and enrolment for the program. Both companies and individuals were very happy with the structure, content and delivery of the program. We now know that we can offer this program globally across time zones. We had to reduce theory and increase application and brought industry professionals to deliver a significant portion of the content.”
