IIT Madras has announced to offer a Master’s Program on Electric Vehicles (EV). Witnessing the demand for electric vehicles, the course has been launched as an Interdisciplinary Dual Degree (IDDD).
Regarded as the top engineering institute in India, IIT Madras is well known for its UG, PG, Doctoral courses in 16 disciplines and courses including science, engineering, humanities, management, B.Tech, M.Tech, MBA, MS, etc.
This unique master’s program is supposed to boost the students' enthusiasm and encourage their engagement with e-mobility. Students are expected to enrol in this newly launched program from January 2022 during their 3rd year of B.Tech and the dual degree courses.
IIT Madras Master’s Program on EV: Highlights
| Institute Name | IIT Madras |
|---|---|
| Course Name | Masters Degree in Electric Vehicles |
| Degree Nature | Interdisciplinary Dual Degree |
| Enrolment Time | January, 2022 |
| Eligibility | 3rd year IIT Madras students of any B.Tech or Dual Degree program |
| Course Capacity | 25 students per batch |
| Provider of the Course | Department of Engineering Design (Primary) |
A press release has confirmed that this program will increase the research capabilities in this particular field. The initial intake capacity of this newly launched program is to be 25 students
Praising the unique aspects of the program, Professor T. Asolan, the Head of the Department of Engineering Design, IIT Madras said: “The course will be the result of nearly eight departments collaborating to induct the skills required for a student to engineer Electric Vehicles.”
He further stated that the content of this course is meticulously curated to develop sufficient depth in each of the offered domains starting from the basics of the vehicles leading upto specific Electric Vehicle aggregates including motors as well as batteries.
The students graduating from this course will have the skills and ability required to pursue a good career in their particular fields such as the Electric Vehicle Product Development and EV Integration, Vehicle Aggregate Engineering, Verification and Validation, Communication and Calibration, Product and Portfolio Planning, etc.

Professor of Practice at IIT Madras, Karthick Athmanathan, referred to this event as “exciting times for the eMobility sector.”
Indicating the problem of having lesser engagement between the EVs and eMobility courses offered and the practical industrial skills, he further discussed the importance of having more resourceful skills in these particular fields.
C S Ram from the Department of Engineering Design, IIT Madras also added, “The students will be undergoing core courses that will build the foundation for EV Engineering. They will, then, pursue electives in the specific area of specialisation of their choice. They would also do a Master’s project in this domain as part of their degree requirement.”
