The primary objective is to create technically trained manpower readily available for recruitment to the power/energy companies & Transformer Manufacturing firms in Electrical Sector. The most important issue in power sector is lack of skilled manpower in all level of work force, so by the end of this course, students would be in a position to tackle the field work and technical aspect of the projects that would be helpful for them to cope up with a complex industrial as well as manufacturing site. It would also enable them to rise in career in a firm, projects and sectors.
