Post Graduate Diploma Course in O&M of Transmission & Distribution System (3rd Batch) 

About the Course :  The Indian power Sector is presently passing through a phase of  transition of technology up-gradation in the area of Generation and  Transmission. Several new Ultra Mega Thermal power Projects are in the  process of installation both in Public and private sectors where advanced  technology with super critical parameters supported by the state of the  art Control & Instrumentation system are being adopted. Simultaneously  to evacuate the power, several EHVsubstations and long Transmission  lines would be erected with associated distribution system. Presently India  has the largest Electricity Grid in the World and world’s third largest  Transmission and Distribution network. The ambitious plan of Govt. of  India for adding additional 151069 MW of Generation Capacity during  11th and 12th plan period will be supplemented by corresponding  strengthening of infrastructure addition in the T&D sector. To achieve this  objective, additional 163000 CtKms and 30 Crores consumers would be  added to the present T&D network. Various new technologies like Ultra  High Voltage (AC/DC) transmission system, Facts, SCADA application,  remote operation of Substation etc. The management of this huge  network shall be a challenging task. To man this huge transmission  System and Distribution network, a huge manpower adequately trained  shall be required which will be of the order of 10.00 Lacs. Keeping all  these aspects in view, CBIP has taken this initiative to launch the 26  weeks Post Graduate Diploma Course in Transmission & Distribution  System following the syllabus as per the requirement of Indian Electricity Regulations for the fresh graduate engineers who would be groomed as per the requirement of Indian Power Industry. The duration of the course would be 26 weeks which will include the class room sessions as well as on-the-job training. The students have to attend the on-job practice
