Should You Get Into EV? What Our Live Session Made Clear.
At EV Pathfinder Live, learners from B.Tech, diploma, non-technical and working-professional backgrounds asked one honest question. This is the answer they got, and how to be in the room next time.
The EV talent gap is real. This session covered the six career domains, the tools taught in the lab, and what placement outcomes look like.
Demand is growing faster than the supply of trained people, and you do not need one specific degree to enter. But a certificate alone will not carry you. The learners who stand out can open a battery pack, read a wiring harness, use a scan tool and explain how the systems work together.
Amith Mandal, Senior EV Technical Faculty at DIYguru, has a master's in product design and analysis and about a decade of work across EVs, CAD and CAE. He opened with four forces behind the shift: global warming and pollution, limited fossil fuel, engine inefficiency, and lower maintenance costs.
Configure lithium-ion cells with nickel strips, do the electrical calculations, and work with smart and IoT-linked BMS. Open to diploma and engineering holders who know basic chemistry and electrical maths.
His advice across all six: an EV combines mechanical, electrical, electronics, computer science and chemical engineering. Pick one domain to go deep in, but learn how the battery, motor and controller, charger and vehicle control unit work together. That awareness across departments is what makes you more employable.

Hands-on training
What practical EV training really looks like
Attendees were taken through the DIYguru lab setup, station by station. You first troubleshoot dummy faults on a simulator, then move to a physical vehicle.

Hiring partners mentioned in the session included Tata Motors, TVS, JBM, PMI and Yulu. Programs are recognised by ASDC and AICTE NEAT, Ministry of Education. Graduates can also apply directly through emobility.careers, DIYguru's EV jobs portal.
The session closed with a video from Shakir Sha, a 24-year-old electronics and telecommunication graduate, on the hands-on skills he built in BMS, EV technology and charging systems. More journeys are on the success stories page.
Outcomes depend on the program, your performance and the hiring market. DIYguru provides placement support; I3C–IIT Jammu and IIT Jammu do not make placement promises or guarantees for these programs.
The market is growing quickly, with 24.5 lakh EVs retailed in FY2026, and the session estimated that demand for trained people is well above current supply. Your results will depend on the practical skills you build.
Can a non-technical student get into EV?
The poll at this webinar included non-technical attendees, and roles such as EV sales and marketing do not need an engineering degree. Technical roles need basic electrical and chemistry knowledge, which you can build. The Course Advisor Tool can suggest a starting point.
Which EV course is best after B.Tech?
If you know your domain, choose a 6-month Nanodegree. If you want R&D or wide exposure, Ashraf suggested the 12-month PG Program.
Which course should a diploma or ITI student choose?
The session recommended technician programs for ITI, diploma and 12th-class learners. Start with CEVT, which is built around hands-on workshop training.
