Why train in Kanpur?
Uttar Pradesh EV Manufacturing and Mobility Policy 2022 offers capital subsidies, SGST reimbursement and stamp duty waivers, pulling EV component makers and assembly units into the Kanpur and Lucknow industrial belt.
Kanpur has one of the largest e-rickshaw and e-loader fleets in north India, which means steady daily demand for battery repair, motor service and charger fault technicians.
IIT Kanpur is a recognised hub for EV powertrain and battery research, and several startups working on lithium battery packs and motor controllers operate out of its incubation ecosystem.
The Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway is being developed as an EV-ready corridor with planned fast-charging stations, creating roles for charger installation and O&M technicians.
Panki Industrial Area and the wider Kanpur Nagar belt host auto component, leather and textile MSMEs that are now diversifying into EV sub-assembly, harnesses and battery enclosures.

Yes. The program is delivered by DIYguru in partnership with ev.care and is aligned to ASDC (Automotive Skills Development Council) and NSDC qualification packs for EV service technicians. You receive a co-branded certificate that is accepted by EV OEMs, dealerships and service networks across Uttar Pradesh and the rest of India for technician-level roles.
What placement support do I get in Kanpur?
You get dedicated placement support including interview preparation, CV review and direct referrals to EV OEMs, e-rickshaw fleet operators, charging network companies and authorised service centres in Kanpur, Lucknow and Unnao. Our team also shares openings from Panki Industrial Area, Dada Nagar and the Kanpur-Lucknow Expressway corridor, plus remote and field roles across north India.
I am from Kakadeo, is the centre easy to reach?
Yes. Students from Kakadeo, Swaroop Nagar, Civil Lines, Govind Nagar and Kalyanpur usually reach the centre within 20 to 35 minutes by auto, e-rickshaw or city bus. The course is also offered in a hybrid format, so you can attend theory online and come in only for hands-on lab sessions, which works well for learners commuting from the outer parts of Kanpur Nagar.
Do I need an engineering background to join?
No, you do not need a BTech. The course is designed for ITI, diploma and 10+2 students, as well as working mechanics from 2W, 3W and 4W garages who want to add EV skills. Basic comfort with electrical wiring, tools and reading simple circuit diagrams is enough. We start from fundamentals of batteries, motors and controllers before moving to live troubleshooting.
Can I do this course part-time along with my job or college?
Yes. We run weekend batches and evening batches in Kanpur, plus a hybrid online-plus-lab option, so students from IIT Kanpur, HBTU, local polytechnics and working technicians from Panki and Dada Nagar can attend without quitting their job or college. You can also pause and rejoin a later batch if work or exams clash, subject to seat availability.
What does the course cover on batteries and battery repair?
The battery module covers lithium-ion cell chemistry, pack architecture, BMS basics, thermal management, charging protocols and safety. On the practical side, you learn cell testing, balancing, fault diagnosis on real packs, spot welding basics, pack assembly and common repair workflows for 2W, 3W and e-rickshaw batteries, which is exactly what the Kanpur service market needs.
