When the Government of Odisha introduced the NUA Odisha initiative, the aim was clear: build skills that translate into confidence, employment, and long-term competitiveness for the youth.
For ISIEINDIA, being selected as a partner meant stepping into a role of service to strengthen the state’s vision with reliable, practical, industry-aligned skilling.
“We started by asking a simple question: ‘What do students really need to succeed in the EV industry?’ The answer was not another classroom. It was a workplace inside the classroom.”
Turning Classrooms into Learning Environments That Feel Real
Many engineering students learn about EV systems through notes and diagrams. Under NUA Odisha, this changed. Students across districts walked into labs equipped with professional-grade technology.
Traction Motor
Controller integration rigs for real-world testing.
Battery Assembly
Fixtures for safe pack assembly and BMS diagnostics.
Thermal Management
Demonstrators showing heat dissipation in real-time.
Powertrain Testing
Comprehensive modules for system analysis.
These were not display models. These were working systems that required safe handling, careful observation, and real engineering thinking. Slowly, learning shifted from “What is a BMS?” to “Let me show you how this BMS behaves when the pack heats up.”
This shift from explanation to experience is what made all the difference.
Small Moments That Build Big Confidence
Every batch has at least one student who begins quietly and cautiously. By the third week, that same student is showing classmates how to trace a CAN signal or analyze a fault code.
This transformation isn’t dramatic. It is steady, honest, and deeply meaningful. Students learned to dismantle and assemble EV motors, tune controllers, and diagnose battery health—skills that stay for life, not just for exams.
When Skills Speak, Industry Listens
What mattered most wasn’t a certificate—it was the confidence to sit across the table from an employer and speak with clarity.
Real Placement Success
Companies like NASH Energy recently evaluated learners from NUA Odisha’s EV Powertrain & ESS batches. They selected 11 students not because of marksheets, but because of competence.
-
They knew what thermal runaway looks like. -
They understood HV safety protocols. -
They had seen systems fail and recover.
A State Preparing for the Future, One Skill at a Time
Odisha’s investment in EV skilling is not just about technology. It is about building employability, confidence, and long-term competitiveness. Our responsibility was to support that vision by creating:
-
Labs that reflect real EV engineering environments. -
Training that matches OEM expectations. -
Assessments that test understanding, not memory. -
Placement pathways aligned with industry demand.
A Partnership Built on Trust
NUA Odisha and ISIEINDIA did not aim to create something loud. They aimed to create something useful. The real success is in students explaining EV systems with confidence, teachers seeing their classrooms evolve, and families witnessing new opportunities.
The EV industry will grow. Odisha’s youth will grow with it. And for ISIEINDIA, supporting this journey is not just a project, it is a commitment to strengthening India’s skilling ecosystem, one student at a time.
