ARAI ACADEMY

LEARNING CENTRE
ARAI, over five decades, has provided its design and development expertise to the Indian automotive industry, focusing
on the testing and evaluation of components and systems to meet national and international standards. ARAI strives to
achieve international recognition in these areas. In keeping pace with the globalization of economy and business, ARAI
continues to enlarge its scope of services to meet the requirements of automotive industries around the world.

In addition to utilizing state-of-the-art technology, laboratories and highly-skilled personnel, ARAI recognizes the need
to develop a new generation of engineers to meet the demands of the automotive industry, not just in India but across
the globe.

ARAI has embarked upon a programme of building up human resources by commencing educational programme
(Graduate Post graduate & Doctoral) with specialization in Automotive Engineering. It has tied up with VIT University
(Vellore), VEL TECH University (Chennai), College of Engineering (Pune), University of Alabama (USA), Tennessee Tech
University (USA), Loughborough University (UK) and Braunschweig University (Germany).

TRAINING CENTRE
In line with Graduate, Post Graduate and Doctoral Programs conducted by various universities abroad, ARAI Academy has devised various
Proficiency Improvement Programmes (PIPs), to be taught by ARAI, academia & industry experts. PIP gives engineers, faculty and students
knowledge and technical expertise in a wide range of automotive disciplines. It helps in understanding systems view point for automotive design
and manufacture, with specific skills in formulating automotive engineering solutions in terms of their function and performance, through
optional modules.

Based on the present system in universities, credits are proposed for each module, so that the graduate engineers can attend various modules
and sum-up the credits required for Masters or Doctoral Programs. Participants also get chance to visit related laboratories of ARAI and get hands
on experience. Certificates are issued on the basis of written test conducted at the end of the programme. We also conduct training programmes
through WEBEX and Domain Training Programmes for automotive industry.
