Postgraduate Diploma in MGU-K/H Calibration and Driveability — studying from India
India is one of the world's largest automobile markets, with major manufacturing clusters around Chennai, Pune, Gurugram, Manesar and Sanand. Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hyundai and Toyota Kirloskar anchor a dense supplier ecosystem of component makers across Chennai and Pune. Vehicle standards and type approvals are handled by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and the Automotive Research Association of India, while the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers represents the industry. Engineers work on powertrain design, vehicle dynamics, quality validation and motorsport engineering, with demand rising as the industry transitions to new technologies.
Fees for India: ₹137,000 (Indian Rupee), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

Questions from India
How are automotive engineers recognised in India, and which bodies matter?
Automotive engineering in India is recognised mainly through the Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI), the Society of Automotive Engineers India (SAE India) and the Institution of Engineers (India). Engineering degrees from recognised universities are the usual entry route. SEIUM's private qualifications are not state degrees and are not accredited by any national body, so their value for membership or roles depends on the employer or body concerned.
Which employers in India hire automotive and motorsport engineers?
Automotive engineers in India are hired by carmakers such as Tata Motors, Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai India, their component suppliers, and design and testing firms. Motorsport teams and racing series also employ engineers. A private online programme can add specialised knowledge to your profile, but employers generally judge candidates on demonstrated skills, projects and experience.
Is this programme workable with a job in India, and does it need a visa?
Yes. The programme is fully online and taught in English, so no student visa is needed to study from home. Workload depends on the format: a master's is about 1,900 hours, a postgraduate diploma about 800 and a specialist course about 300. You get an assigned technical tutor and can pay in instalments. Some employers offer sponsorship, so it is worth asking your HR team before you enrol.

How you'll learn
Training 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and assigned technical tutor. No fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, making it possible to combine with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is ETAS INCA, Vector CANape, MATLAB/Simulink, AVL CAMEO, McLaren ATLAS, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real calibration procedures on a dynamic power unit test bench, simulator sessions with subjective assessment, and track tests with driveability analysis. Assessment is continuous per 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.
