The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee), through its Electronics & ICT Academy (E&ICT Academy), has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SkyySkill Academy to launch courses in Electric Vehicle (EV) Technology designed to build practical, job-ready skills for the rapidly growing electric mobility sector. 

The program covers EV architecture, battery technologies and battery-management systems, electric motors and power electronics, EV charging infrastructure, diagnostics, safety systems and vehicle energy optimisation. The curriculum balances academic rigor with hands-on learning and is intended for engineering graduates, diploma holders and working professionals seeking specialized EV expertise. 

The programme deliverables will include live online instructional sessions, hands-on practical lab exposure, structured assignments, and capstone projects based on real-world EV use cases. 

Each participant will complete a capstone project to demonstrate applied problem-solving and develop an industry-relevant portfolio for roles in manufacturing, R&D, and EV service ecosystems.
 
Speaking on the initiative, Prof. Sanjeev Manhas, Chief Investigator, E&ICT Academy, IIT Roorkee, said, “The rapid growth of electric mobility requires a skilled workforce with strong technical knowledge and practical expertise. Through this collaboration with SkyySkill Academy, E&ICT Academy, IIT Roorkee aims to strengthen industry–academia engagement and equip learners with relevant skills to support India’s evolving EV ecosystem.”

“Himansu Sekhar Panda, CEO of SkyySkill Academy”, emphasized the importance of strong academic–industry collaborations in preparing a skilled workforce for emerging technologies. He noted that electric mobility is rapidly transforming the automotive sector, and through the partnership with E&ICT Academy, IIT Roorkee, the aim is to deliver high-quality, practice-oriented learning programs to equip learners for careers in the EV industry.

Participants who successfully complete the program and assessments will receive a certificate from E&ICT Academy, IIT Roorkee.
 
The Electronics & ICT Academy, IIT Roorkee, is an initiative supported by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, that focuses on capacity building, advanced training and skill development in Electronics, ICT and emerging technology domains 

Skyy Skill Academy is an organisation focused on industry-aligned skill development and training in advanced engineering domains. It has delivered programs in EV technology, drone tech and other advanced engineering systems and has trained thousands of students across India.
