Prepare for design roles in vehicle and component companies that list CATIA as a requirement.

Learn CATIA V5 the way automotive and component design teams use it — solid parts, class-style surfaces, assemblies and drafting — through hands-on automotive-style projects in the techcadd Computer Institute Jalandhar CAD lab.
techcadd Computer Institute's CATIA course in Jalandhar is for mechanical and automobile engineering students who are aiming at design roles in automotive, two-wheeler, tractor and component companies, where CATIA V5 is the standard.
You start in the Sketcher workbench with constraints, then move to Part Design for solid features, patterns and dress-up features. Generative Shape Design teaches wireframe and surface modelling — the skill that separates CATIA users from general CAD users. Assembly Design, Drafting and Sheet Metal Design complete the course, so you can take a component from concept to drawing.
Every workbench ends with a model you build yourself — a bracket, a mirror housing, a bumper-style surface, an assembly — reviewed by the trainer, so you leave with an automotive-style portfolio.
Solids and surfacesYou should be comfortable with a computer and able to read engineering drawings. Prior SolidWorks or AutoCAD experience helps you move faster but is not required.
Prepare for design roles in vehicle and component companies that list CATIA as a requirement.
Add a recognised automotive CAD skill for campus placements and design internships.
Add surface modelling and CATIA workflows to what you already know.
Move from production or quality into a design or CAD role.
Model vehicle and product projects with proper surfaces and drawings.
Take on surface and part modelling work that needs CATIA files.
Students reach the Jalandhar centre from Model Town, Urban Estate and Rama Mandi, and from engineering colleges on the Kapurthala, Phagwara and Amritsar roads. Morning, evening, weekend and 1-on-1 slots fit around lectures, internships and shifts.
Vehicle makers and many of their component suppliers design in CATIA V5, and job posts in those companies often name it directly.
Many CAD users can make solids. Controlled surface modelling in Generative Shape Design is the skill that stands out.
Each workbench is taught through one project, so you understand when and why to switch between them.
Parts, assemblies and drawings together — the way a design is actually delivered to a customer or plant.
The course moves through CATIA V5's core workbenches in the order a component is designed: sketch, solid, surface, assembly, drawing and sheet metal.
Build constrained profiles that every later feature depends on.
You work in CATIA V5 on your own workstation, moving between workbenches the way design teams do.

It is strongest in automotive and aerospace, but it is also used for tooling, consumer products and general machinery design.
The interface takes a little longer to learn and surfaces need practice, but with daily lab work two months is enough to be productive.
CATIA V5, which remains the version most commonly asked for in automotive design job posts.
CNC Programming & CAM to understand how your designs are machined, or SolidWorks if you also want to cover general machine design roles.
Each workbench ends with a project you finish yourself. Together they form your design portfolio.
Parametric solid models with ribs, pockets, patterns and draft for casting.
A styled surface shell built from wireframe, joined, trimmed and thickened into a solid.
A constrained assembly with clash checks, an exploded view and BOM.
Detail and assembly drawings with sections, tolerances and a sheet-metal flat pattern.
Every workbench is learned inside a real component, not as a list of icons.
The trainer builds the feature on a live model on the big screen.
e.g. Creating a multi-section surfaceYou apply it to your own project part while the trainer checks your screen.
e.g. Shaping the mirror coverYour model is checked for constraints, continuity and a clean tree.
e.g. Thickening it to a solidCATIA takes practice. What matters is how much lab time you get, whether surfaces are taught properly, and whether someone reviews your models.
Two full weeks on Generative Shape Design, not a quick demo.
You model every minute of lab time.
Small enough for the trainer to review every tree.
Brackets, housings and sub-assemblies, not textbook blocks.
Resume help, portfolio review and job drives with 500+ hiring partners.

Questions worth asking before you join any CATIA course, including this one.
| Feature | techcadd Computer Institute | Typical institute |
|---|---|---|
| Practice time | One workstation per student, every class | –Shared systems or demo-only |
| Batch size | Small batches with model reviews | –Large batches, little feedback |
| Surface design | Two weeks of Generative Shape Design | –Skipped or rushed |
| Workbenches | Sketcher, Part, GSD, Assembly, Drafting, Sheet Metal | –Often Part Design only |
| Projects | Automotive-style components | –Generic shapes |
| Timings | Morning, evening, weekend, 1-on-1 | –Fixed single slot |
| Portfolio | Models and drawings you built | –Usually none |
| Certificate | Verifiable certificate + placement support | –Varies |

“The surface module was tough but the trainer went step by step. The mirror housing project is now the first thing in my portfolio.”
“Learned all the main workbenches in two months. Drafting and assembly were explained with real examples.”
“I knew SolidWorks. CATIA surfaces were new and this course covered them properly. Helped me get a design trainee role.”
“Evening batch after work. Now I can open and check customer CATIA files myself.”
“Small batch, lots of practice. The specification tree and parameters finally made sense.”
“Weekend batch was manageable. Good projects and clear explanations.”
Still unsure? A counsellor can walk you through batches, fees and the syllabus in one short call.
📞No. The course starts from the Sketcher workbench. Prior CAD experience just helps you move faster.
The course runs for 2 months. Morning, afternoon, evening and weekend batches are available, plus 1-on-1 slots on request.
