Master’s in Electric Vehicle and Infrastructure Type-Approval Engineering — 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: ₹1,050,000 (Indian Rupee), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Relevant bodies in India

  • Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
  • Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI)
  • Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH)
  • Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)

Typical roles

  • Homologation Engineer
  • RAMS Engineer
  • Safety Assessment Engineer
  • Regulatory Compliance Specialist

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 learning on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within the intake, so the programme fits around your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Vector vTESTstudio, Keysight Scienlab, PSIM and Polarion, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Cases are studied on real procedures: drawing up the regulatory matrix for an electric vehicle, the CE marking file for a charging point and an analysis of the requirements of the European Batteries Regulation. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: UN R100, Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 AFIR, IEC 61851-1:2017, IEC 62196-3:2022, ISO 15118-20:2022, UN R10, ITC-BT-52 of the Spanish Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulation.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of UN R100, the EU Batteries Regulation, AFIR, IEC 61851 and ISO 15118 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Vector vTESTstudio, Keysight Scienlab, PSIM and Polarion, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:An integrated certification strategy for an electric vehicle and its charging infrastructure, covering the regulatory matrix, battery requirements, testing, schedule and costs, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
