In April 2002, the company introduced the first of its kind, a comprehensive one year 'Mechatronics Programme'. The program is aimed at developing local technical competence in India and the sub-continent for Mercedes-Benz cars’ Automotive diagnostic skills as well as electronic and electrical networking systems. The concept is a joint initiative of Mercedes-Benz India and the Government Polytechnic in Pune and is supported by CIM (Germany). This intensive training program breeds fresh talent for Mercedes-Benz in India as well as the industry. The program involves concepts like discovery learning and task-based teaching at the Automotive Mechatronics School.

Mercedes-Benz India, in collaboration with the Government Polytechnic, Pune, has introduced a Post-Diploma course on Advanced Automotive Technology. This One-year Post-Diploma course enables students to be trained as per the highest standards of modern automotive technology. The course offers first-of-its-kind syllabus aimed to bridge the gap between technological demand and automotive education. The curriculum incorporates key elements of automobile & electronics technology as well as insights about advanced automobile systems, diagnostics and hands-on training. These learnings are reinforced with student visits to the Mercedes-Benz factory and it’s Mechatronics School. We additionally offer training for the faculty and further provide teaching resources to the Government Polytechnic institute. The curriculum also imbibes soft skills such as written and oral communication as well as behavioral skills.
