The George Telegraph Training Institute, a pioneer in technical education, and Mukesh Himatsingka Group, which runs dealerships for Hyundai and Mahindra & Mahindra, have come together to set up a training institute for automobile engineering.
The George Telegraph Institute of Automobile Engineering will offer two courses in advanced automobile technology of two years and six months respectively and one six-month course in automobile sales and marketing management.
The courses will cover inventory management, auto finance, automobile body, denting repairs and painting technology. The course fees will range from Rs 24,500 to Rs 58,500.
Rishabh Himatsingka, director of the Mukesh Himatsingka Group, said GTIAE will be a “high end automobile institute” that will provide hands-on training to its students at five workshops here.
Students will get the opportunity to work with the latest Hyundai and Mahindra & Mahindra vehicles from passenger cars to heavy vehicles.
Gora Dutta, the principal of GTIAE, said the USP of this institute will be the industry-institute partnership where theoretical aspects will be taught by Industry experts from the Du Pont group, Axis Bank and ICICI Bank.
Classes will begin from October in three batches, each of a 100 students. Students will be given placement assistance through the centralised placement cell of George Telegraph.
