Course overview
An M.Tech in EV & E-Mobility / Power Electronics is a 2-year postgraduate programme that trains engineers in electric-vehicle powertrains, battery and cell systems, power-electronic converters, electric-motor design and embedded control. It matters in India because the ACC Battery PLI scheme (~₹18,100 crore) and the push for domestic EV manufacturing have created sustained demand for engineers who understand both the power-electronics core and vehicle-level integration. The degree sits at the intersection of electrical, mechanical and electronics disciplines, and is offered by leading IITs, IISc, NITs and specialist institutes.
Is M.Tech — EV & E-Mobility right for you?
✅ Choose it if you…
enjoy circuits, control systems and hardware, and want to build the powertrains, converters and battery systems behind India's EV transition.
⚠️ Reconsider if you…
prefer pure software/IT roles, dislike maths-heavy power-electronics theory, or want a quick path to a job without a research-oriented PG..
Eligibility & entrance exams
Eligibility: B.E./B.Tech in Electrical, Electronics, Electrical & Electronics, Mechatronics, Instrumentation or allied branches (some institutes accept Mechanical for the e-mobility track), typically with a valid GATE score for admission to IITs/IISc/NITs.
