Manufacturing & Production Training Program by IIT Madras

This course provides a thorough and practical approach to bridging the gap between theoretical engineering concepts and real-world manufacturing processes. Featuring an effective mix of 20% theory and 80% hands-on experience, it will introduce and enhance essential skills such as basic quantification, back-of-the-envelope calculations, rapid engineering drawings, appropriate tool usage, classification and taxonomy fundamentals, as well as a systems approach to planning and execution.

This training program will be conducted in a classroom setting with a hands-on approach. The course content encompasses practical experience in 3D modelling, 3D printing, Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), CNC programming, and CNC machining. Additionally, participants will gain insights into the stages of product development, including prototyping and testing.

This program offers entirely hands-on training for a subsidized fee of INR 6,000 plus GST. Accommodation will be available on the IIT Madras campus at a nominal cost of INR 650 per day per student, which includes both food and lodging. Accommodation requests must be submitted on or before October 10, 2024.

Students who excel in the program will receive placement assistance. Pravartak will carefully select participants for the training program to ensure they acquire industry-ready skills. Highlighting the importance of this initiative, Prof. R. Sarathi, Dean (Planning), IIT Madras, said, “Skills development is a National movement to provide Indians with opportunities to develop potential to the fullest extent throughout their life, regardless of their prior experience. Through this movement, the skills, passion and contributions of every individual will drive India's next phase of development towards an advanced economy and inclusive society.”
