FAQ — EV training in Kolkata

Is this EV course recognised by the government or industry?

Yes. The DIYguru EV training programme is aligned with ASDC (Automotive Skills Development Council) and NSDC frameworks, and is widely accepted by EV OEMs, fleet operators and charging companies hiring in Kolkata. On completion you get a certificate that is recognised for technician, service-advisor and battery-repair roles across West Bengal and pan-India.

Do I need an engineering background to join?

No. The course is built for ITI, diploma and 12th-pass students, as well as working two-wheeler and auto mechanics in Kolkata who want to move into EV. We start from electrical basics, then move to battery, motor and controller. If you can use a multimeter and follow a wiring diagram, you can complete this course comfortably.

Can I do this course part-time alongside my current job?

Yes. We run weekend and evening batches specifically for working technicians from Howrah, Salt Lake Sector V and New Town who cannot leave their day job. The hands-on labs are scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays, and theory modules are available online so you can revise on your phone after work hours.

What does the course cover for batteries and battery repair?

Battery is the core of the syllabus. You learn lithium-ion cell chemistry, pack assembly, BMS (Battery Management System) diagnostics, thermal safety, IP-rated enclosures, balancing, SOC and SOH testing, and live repair of e-rickshaw and e-scooter packs. We also cover swap-pack handling (Sun Mobility style) and basic second-life battery testing.

What is the placement support like in Kolkata?

DIYguru runs an active placement cell connecting students to EV OEMs, service centres, charging partners, e-bus operators and the large Toto e-rickshaw repair network in Howrah and Behala. We share interview leads, do mock interviews, and help with resume building. Serious students typically receive technician or service-advisor offers within 60 to 90 days of finishing (indicative, not guaranteed).

Is there a training centre near me in Salt Lake or New Town?

Yes. Our Kolkata batches are designed to be reachable from Salt Lake Sector V, New Town (Rajarhat), Park Street, Dum Dum, Howrah and Behala using metro and local trains. Students from the IT corridor in Sector V often join evening batches, while Howrah and Behala mechanics prefer the weekend hands-on labs. Exact centre address is shared after enrolment.
