Galgotias University and L&T EduTech Launch EV Centre of Excellence

Galgotias University, in collaboration with L&T EduTech (Larsen & Toubro EduTech), has set up an Advanced Electric Vehicle (EV) Centre of Excellence on its campus. The initiative is aimed at providing students with skills in electric mobility technologies through structured training and applied learning.

The L&T EduTech Advanced EV Centre of Excellence will offer students practical exposure to electric vehicle technologies, including systems for both two-wheelers and four-wheelers. The programme follows a hybrid learning approach combining theoretical instruction with hands-on training. Students will study areas such as EV architecture, powertrain systems, battery technologies, diagnostics, and system integration.

The centre is structured to address the gap between academic education and industry requirements by providing experiential learning aligned with the needs of the electric mobility sector in India. It will serve students from Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, and Computer Science, supporting interdisciplinary learning in areas including EV power electronics, embedded systems, vehicle diagnostics, battery management systems, and mobility software technologies.

Speaking about the collaboration, Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO of Galgotias University, said, "The transition towards electric mobility is one of the most significant technological transformations of our time. The establishment of the L&T Edutech Advanced EV Centre of Excellence at Galgotias University will enable our students to learn directly on industry grade platforms and develop practical expertise in EV technologies. This collaboration reflects our commitment to creating industry integrated learning environments that prepare students for the future of mobility and sustainable engineering."

Ashish Mishra, Regional Lead L&T EduTech added, "At L&T Edutech, we believe strong industry academia collaboration is essential to build the skilled workforce required for emerging technologies such as electric mobility. Through the Advanced EV Centre of Excellence at Galgotias University, we aim to provide students with practical exposure to EV systems and technologies, helping them become industry ready professionals who can contribute to India’s evolving mobility ecosystem."

The centre will also include faculty training, certification programmes, industry workshops, and technical modules aimed at continuous skill development for students and educators. The initiative is part of ongoing efforts to integrate industry-relevant training within academic frameworks.
