The Diploma in Automobile Engineering is typically a three-year full-time program, divided into six semesters. Each semester spans approximately six months and includes a balanced mix of theoretical knowledge and practical training. This structured duration allows students to gradually develop their understanding of automobile systems, mechanical fundamentals, and modern automotive technologies.
The first year focuses on foundational subjects such as Engineering Mathematics, Applied Physics, Basic Mechanics, and Engineering Drawing, giving students a strong base in core engineering principles. The second year transitions into more specialized areas, including Automobile Engines, Chassis and Transmission, Thermal Engineering, and Material Science. Students also start engaging more with laboratory work and hands-on workshops to build practical skills.
By the third year, students dive deeper into Vehicle Dynamics, Automobile Electrical and Electronics Systems, Automotive Design, and Advanced Manufacturing Techniques. A key component of the final semester is project work or industrial training, where students apply what they’ve learned in real-world settings, often through internships in automobile companies or related industries.
The three-year format is recognized by technical education boards such as the AICTE and state-level technical councils, making it a widely accepted qualification for employment or further study, including lateral entry into B. Tech or BE programs.
