Course in Augmented Reality for Machinery Diagnostics — studying from India
India's construction, mining, agriculture and material handling sectors drive demand for off-road and special vehicles. Manufacturers such as Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, Escorts Kubota, Mahindra & Mahindra and Bharat Earth Movers operate significant production facilities across the country. Industrial clusters in Pune, Coimbatore, Chennai and Jamshedpur support this sector with strong supplier networks. Standards and safety requirements are referenced through the Bureau of Indian Standards and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Engineers in this area design hydraulic systems, drivetrains, operator interfaces and equipment for demanding field conditions.
Fees for India: ₹68,400 (Indian Rupee), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from India
Which bodies in India approve off-road and special vehicles?
Vehicle approval in India involves the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) and Automotive Industry Standards under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules. Construction and agricultural machinery have their own sector standards through the Bureau of Indian Standards. SEIUM's qualification is private and not accredited by a national body, so it does not give approval status.
Which employers in India hire for off-road and machinery engineering?
Tractor, construction equipment and defence vehicle manufacturers, plus mining and agricultural machinery firms, are typical employers. Each sets its own hiring criteria and decides what weight to give a private qualification. Hands-on experience usually carries significant weight alongside any course you complete.
Can I study this online from India while working, and in what language?
Yes, the programme is 100% online, so you can study from any part of India without a student visa, fitting study around work. It is taught entirely in English, so you need a working level of the language. Each student has a technical tutor, and fees can be paid in instalments or sponsored by an employer.

How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetable: the learner progresses at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine study with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is PTC Vuforia Studio, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Guides, Unity, TeamViewer Frontline, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Trials are studied using real procedures for creating guided augmented reality procedures, remote assistance pilots in workshops, and usability evaluation with technicians. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrative project.
