THE
COURSE?

The Indian Power Sector with approx. 475 GW installed capacity

requires trained man power for not only meeting existing
requirements but also to handle new technologies and modernized
power stations. India has surpassed 220 GW installed capacity of Renewable Energy.
The technical knowledge acquired from Engineering Colleges provides the basic foundation,
which needs to be supplemented with the Applied Engineering skills so as to groom the
engineers for efficient functioning at every stage of planning, designing, engineering,
procurement, construction, commissioning, operation, maintenance, transmission and
distribution of power supply industry.

trained manpower for Power Sector could be fulfilled if the engineers after passing their
engineering degree are groomed by conducting a technical course approved by the competent
authority of Government of India and giving them an exposure to the theoretical as well as
practical aspects.
The “Post Graduate Diploma Course in Thermal Power Plant Engineering” and MBA (Power
Management) have been few of the many flagship programs of NPTI. Assessing the next
decade’s requirements, NPTI has now re-designed the courses to suit the needs of the Power
Sector.
PGDC in Thermal Power Plant Engineering is now re-named as “Post Graduate
Diploma Course in Power Plant Engineering”.
