Electric Vehicle (EV) Technology is transforming the future of transportation, driven by the global shift towards reducing carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. This dynamic field covers a wide array of specializations, including electric powertrain design, battery technology, charging infrastructure, and advanced control systems. As the adoption of EVs accelerates worldwide, there is a growing demand for skilled engineers who can innovate and lead advancements in sustainable transportation technologies.
The global electric vehicle market, valued at USD 370 billion in 2021, is projected to reach USD 1,300 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.19%. India has become a key player in this sector, driven by government incentives, favorable policies, and rising environmental consciousness. Major industry contributors include automotive manufacturers like Tesla, Tata Motors, and Hyundai, alongside battery producers such as Exide and Amara Raja, and charging infrastructure providers like Ather Energy and Tata Power. This robust ecosystem is also supported by a thriving startup culture focusing on energy storage, battery management, and smart charging solutions.
In response to the growing need for specialized professionals, the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at CHRIST (Deemed to be University) has prepared this Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) program in Electric Vehicle Technology. Building on the Department’s established Master’s program in Power Systems (Electric Mobility), this PGDP will emphasize EV powertrain design, battery technology, and smart grid-integrated charging infrastructure. Developed in collaboration with Decibels Lab, this program offers a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, equipping students with the expertise needed to excel in the rapidly expanding EV industry. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between academia and industry, preparing graduates for impactful careers in the electric mobility space.
