EV skills in Kolkata
West Bengal's 2021 EV policy set out to put 10 lakh electric vehicles, including 1,200 e-buses, on the roads by 2024. The bus target has not been met, but buyers have moved anyway: EV registrations in the state reached 1,33,388 by 2025–26, and e-car adoption in Kolkata is about 11%, according to Down To Earth.
The biggest EV group by number is the toto, the battery e-rickshaw, with estimates of over one million across the state including unregistered vehicles. On the river, GRSE delivered the all-electric ferry Dheu to the state in January 2025, with a hull designed alongside IIT Kharagpur, and has an order for 13 hybrid ferries for the Hooghly.
E-rickshaws are West Bengal's largest EV segment by vehicle count, and every one needs battery and motor servicing.
The 13 GRSE hybrid ferries will serve the river from Triveni in the north to Diamond Harbour in the south.
Kolkata launched 80 e-buses in 2019, and a tender for 400 cleaner buses with a large electric share has been announced.
Kolkata's e-car share of about 11% is well above the state average of about 5%, as of 2025–26.

Who it is for
The 12-month PG programme in EV embedded systems, with IIT Jammu, comes with placement support and five-day hands-on modules.
The M.Tech in EV Technology is a two-year UGC degree from Ajeenkya DY Patil University, Pune, delivered in hybrid mode with DIYguru.
CEVT gives ITI and diploma holders proper training in EV diagnostics and repair, with a 21-day workshop.
The EV business Nanodegree covers fleet economics, charging sites and service businesses.
Studying from Kolkata
Apply from Kolkata; our admissions team confirms the fees, EMI options and your batch dates.
Join live classes with EV engineers, then go back to recorded lessons, notes and quizzes whenever you need them.
Work through design calculations, simulations and projects. An optional DIY hardware kit lets you practise on a real control board at home, delivered anywhere in India.
The CEVT and PG programmes include hands-on workshops at our Delhi and Pune centres: batteries, motors, controllers, charging and diagnostics on real vehicles. Nearest to Kolkata: Delhi (Sultanpur).
Finish the projects and assessments to earn your certificate, with a verification link you can share with employers.
Certificates
West Bengal has no licence for EV technicians, and none exists at national level. The Automotive Skills Development Council's NSQF roles, such as EV Service Technician, are the common skills benchmark. Any charger or building wiring must be done by a licensed electrical contractor under state rules and the CEA's safety regulations. Our certificate shows you completed the training; it is not a licence.
