JASIC Homologation Course in Japan — studying from India
Regulatory compliance, safety assessment and homologation are essential across India's automotive, aerospace, rail, energy and medical sectors. Vehicle type approvals are issued under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, with testing support from the Automotive Research Association of India and the International Centre for Automotive Technology. The Bureau of Indian Standards issues product certification through the Standard Mark scheme. Reliability, availability, maintainability and safety engineers work on RAMS programmes for critical infrastructure, while homologation specialists manage certification pathways for exports and domestic launches.
Fees for India: ₹57,900 (Indian Rupee), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from India
Which Indian bodies handle regulation, safety and homologation, and is this qualification recognised?
Vehicle homologation involves ARAI and AIS standards, and product standards involve the Bureau of Indian Standards. Sector regulators vary by industry. SEIUM's qualification is a private one, not an official degree, and it is not accredited by any national body in India, so recognition is for employers and the relevant body to decide.
Which employers in India hire for RAMS and homologation roles?
Automotive, aerospace, railway, defence, and medical device companies, along with testing and certification consultancies, are typical employers. Hiring depends on each employer's requirements and their own assessment of experience. A private qualification may help your profile, but it does not guarantee a role.
Is this course workable alongside a job in India, and what are the study conditions?
The programme is online and taught in English, so you can study while employed and do not need a student visa to study from home. Each student is assigned a technical tutor and completes a final project. Fees are payable in instalments, and employer sponsorship is possible.

How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the course with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is advanced Excel, Power BI, DIAdem, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for preparing type approval files, conformity testing in a designated laboratory, and equivalence analysis with UN Regulations. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
