The certificate course aims to develop automobile expertise among students
RV College of Engineering, Bengaluru, recently introduced the EV training certification programme, in collaboration with MG Motor India. The course, named ‘MG-RVCE Nurture Program on EV’ has been specially designed for bridging the gap between the industry and academia, and trains the candidates on EV and advanced technologies (IoT, connected cars).
“The introduction of the EV program has the potential to reform the resources that academia is equipped with at the current stage. The course is well balanced with theory and practical knowledge, and this will enhance employability and aid in the overall personality development of any candidate. MG is a leading name in India’s EV industry and manufactures some of the most advanced vehicles in the country. We are excited to collaborate with the brand since it will help the working professionals to learn and grow,” said Dr KN Subramanya, the college principal.
The 5-month offline training course includes a 90-day internship at a nearby MG dealership. The course proposes full scholarships for meritorious female candidates, hence encouraging social inclusion in the OEM sector.
Rajeev Chaba, President and MD, MG Motor India, stated, “The EV ecosystem in India has an exponential scope for development and, with this academic collaboration, MG furthers its commitment to creating an equitable pool of talent and a future-ready generation. This collaboration will provide an immersive and experiential learning opportunity for students by enabling practical insights and helping them develop the requisite expertise in the automobile industry.”
It is noteworthy that this course has been launched under MG Nurture, which is a part of MG’s student development program. This program works for skill development and provides internships to students in the automotive space. MG also extended the Nurture program to support the Ukraine-returned medical and engineering students.
