Galgotias University, in partnership with L&T EduTech, has inaugurated India’s first advanced EV Centre of Excellence within a university campus. The initiative is designed to give students hands-on, industry-level experience in next-generation electric mobility and real-world automotive systems.
The advanced facility integrates live electric vehicle technologies into the learning environment, including fully operational electric cars and two-wheelers, battery packs and modules, battery management systems, EV powertrains, charging infrastructure, motors, controllers, diagnostics tools, and embedded mobility systems. Built as a practical, experiential learning hub, it allows students to directly engage with technologies that are shaping the global future of transportation.
Unlike conventional engineering laboratories that primarily rely on simulation-based learning, the Advanced EV Centre of Excellence allows students to engage hands-on with actual electric mobility platforms and industrial-grade components used across the EV ecosystem. Students will gain practical exposure to EV architecture, battery technologies, charging systems, diagnostics, thermal management, embedded systems, drivetrain integration, power electronics, vehicle communication systems, and sustainable mobility engineering.
The collaboration with L&T EduTech integrates industry-aligned curriculum, experiential learning modules, specialised technical training, and application-oriented learning frameworks into the academic environment. The initiative is aimed at strengthening industry readiness and creating a future-ready talent pipeline for India’s rapidly expanding electric mobility and clean transportation sector.
Dr Dhruv Galgotia, Chief Executive Officer, Galgotias University, said, “The future of engineering education will be shaped by how closely universities integrate learning with real industry systems and emerging technologies. The Advanced EV Centre of Excellence developed with L&T EduTech gives students direct exposure to live electric mobility platforms, battery technologies, diagnostics, and industry-grade infrastructure that are defining the future of transportation globally. As India rapidly expands its electric mobility ecosystem, universities must move beyond conventional classroom models and create immersive, application-oriented environments that prepare students for high-impact innovation, research, and industry leadership.”
The collaboration further builds on the growing partnership between Galgotias University and L&T EduTech. Earlier this year, L&T EduTech recognised Galgotias University as a Blue Chip Partner during L&T EduTech NEXUS 2026, acknowledging the University’s strong industry engagement, technology-led learning ecosystem, and continued focus on future-ready engineering education and innovation-driven academic collaboration.
The facility strengthens the growing momentum around electric mobility, sustainable transportation, clean energy technologies, and advanced manufacturing. It is expected to support interdisciplinary learning and applied research across engineering, electronics, artificial intelligence, robotics, embedded systems, automotive technologies, and smart mobility solutions.
The Centre further expands Galgotias University’s ecosystem of industry-integrated laboratories, advanced technology infrastructure, innovation centres, and experiential learning facilities developed in collaboration with leading industry partners. The University has continued to build capabilities across emerging technology domains including artificial intelligence, semiconductors, electric mobility, cybersecurity, immersive technologies, and high-performance computing.
With India’s EV market witnessing accelerated growth across automotive manufacturing, battery innovation, charging infrastructure, mobility services, and clean transportation technologies, the Advanced EV Centre of Excellence is expected to create stronger pathways for students towards research, innovation, entrepreneurship, and high-growth careers within the global electric mobility ecosystem.
