Tata Motors has announced its partnership with Graphic Era Hill University (GEHU) in Bhimtal, Uttarakhand, to provide an M Tech degree in EV technology to its employees working at the Pantnagar Plant.
The company-sponsored programme aims to enhance employees’ technical skills, thereby bridging skill gaps in the automotive industry and creating a future-ready organisation.
According to a press release from Tata Motors, the curriculum of this M Tech programme is designed to meet the rapidly growing skillset demands in the automotive industry.
The course comprises four semesters, spread over two years, culminating in a holistic 6-month industrial project. Further to periodic assessment and successful completion of the programme, the university will award a certificate to the enrolled students.

These employees will be mentored by industry experts and trained by technical specialists at Tata Motors and GEHU, Bhimtal, to ensure their competency and confidence to work on-site.
