Indicative total course fee. About 5,000 - 60,000 total; varies widely by provider and duration.

Indicative starting salary. 13,000 - 26,000 per month.

Typical duration. 3 - 6 months.

Fees and salaries here are indicative ranges, not quotes. Confirm the current fee with the institution and treat the salary as a starting range that varies by employer and location.

Over 3 to 6 months, you study EV powertrains, battery systems, charging infrastructure and high-voltage safety.

This course suits you if you want entry-level EV servicing skills after Class 10 or an ITI.

• You want a short course lasting three to six months, rather than a multi-year diploma.
• You have passed Class 10; an automobile or electrical ITI background helps but is not required.
• You are interested in hands-on work with EV powertrains, batteries, charging systems and high-voltage safety.
• You want to apply for EV service technician work with dealers, fleet operators or multi-brand service workshops.
• You need a course with fees that vary widely, from about ₹5,000 to ₹60,000.
• It does not suit you if you want an engineering degree or prefer work away from vehicles, batteries and workshop servicing.

For this 3 to 6 month certificate, expect the total course fee to fall between Rs 5,000 - 60,000.

In India, an EV service technician usually starts at ₹13,000 to ₹26,000 a month. Pay rises with hands-on EV repair work, high-voltage safety skills and experience in service centres, fleets or charging work.

India

Pay differs by city, employer and the kind of EV work you handle.

EV work is hands-on and safety-sensitive. You will deal with high-voltage systems, battery packs and charging equipment, so careless work is not an option. The certificate takes only three to six months, but fees range from about ₹5,000 to ₹60,000. Starting pay for an EV service technician is often around ₹13,000 to ₹26,000 a month, so compare the fee with local job options before enrolling.

There is a real need for trained technicians as EV manufacturers, dealers, fleet operators, charging companies and multi-brand workshops add EV services. You do not need a licence to practise. A Class 10 pass is enough for entry in many places, though an automobile or electrical ITI background gives you a better base for fault-finding and workshop work.

The people who progress usually do more than complete the certificate. They practise safe isolation procedures, learn to read basic electrical faults, and become comfortable with batteries, motors, controllers and chargers. They also look for workshop exposure or an apprenticeship, rather than relying only on online lessons. Later, a diploma in automobile or electrical engineering, or an advanced battery management certificate, can help them move beyond basic servicing.
