AutoCAD and EPLAN Training in Pune 2026: What You Learn and Why Students Choose ABC Trainings (Updated October 2026) (Updated October 2026)

Here's the thing about AutoCAD and EPLAN training: most students choose one or the other, not realising that companies like Siemens, Bosch, and ABB India expect electrical engineers to be fluent in both. Harshal Mistry, who completed both courses at ABC Trainings Pune, says the instructors explain concepts clearly and resolve doubts at every step. With India's industrial automation sector surging — AURIC (Aurangabad Industrial and Research City) adding ₹71,343 crore in investment and 62,405 jobs — the demand for engineers who can design in AutoCAD Electrical and wire schematics in EPLAN has never been higher. This is what the training actually covers and what to expect after completing it.

TL;DR
  • AutoCAD Electrical training at ABC Trainings Pune covers IEC/IEEE electrical drawing, panel layouts, single-line diagrams, and BOM generation — 2 months, ₹18,000–₹25,000.
  • EPLAN Electric P8 training covers schematic design, parts databases, macros, cable planning, PLC overview diagrams, and automated BOM/cable reports — 2 months, ₹20,000–₹30,000.
  • Combo AutoCAD + EPLAN program: 3.5 months at ₹35,000–₹50,000. Freshers with both certifications land electrical design roles at Siemens, Bosch, ABB, and L&T ECC at ₹3–6 LPA.

What AutoCAD Electrical Training at ABC Trainings Actually Covers

AutoCAD Electrical training at ABC Trainings covers: AutoCAD fundamentals (drawing, layers, blocks), electrical-specific tools (wire numbering, component tags, panel layouts), IEC 60617 and IEEE standard symbols, ladder diagrams, control circuit drawings, single-line diagrams for industrial panels, Bill of Materials (BOM) generation, and revision management. Duration: 2 months (80 hours). Training runs on the same AutoCAD Electrical version used by L&T ECC, Bharat Forge, and Siemens India project teams.

What most people don't realise: AutoCAD Electrical is a vertical product built on AutoCAD — if you already know basic AutoCAD, the Electrical version takes 3–4 weeks to pick up, not 2 months. ABC structures the course to fast-track this for students with CAD exposure. Live projects: motor starter panel (DOL + Star-Delta), PLC I/O schematic for a conveyor system, and single-line diagram for a 33/11kV substation — the exact project types that appear in Siemens and ABB electrical engineer interviews.

What EPLAN Electric P8 Training at ABC Covers — Step by Step

EPLAN Electric P8 training at ABC covers: EPLAN platform navigation, project and page templates, schematic drawing with parts library, terminal diagrams, cable planning, PLC overview diagrams, cross-referencing, macro creation, parts database editing, and generating BOM and cable reports. Duration: 2 months (80 hours). EPLAN P8 is the industry standard at Bosch, Siemens, and Endurance Technologies — proficiency is now listed as a required skill (not just preferred) in 70% of electrical design engineer job descriptions on Naukri.in for Maharashtra as of 2026.

Trust me: the parts database workflow in EPLAN is where most new users struggle. ABC's EPLAN module dedicates 3 sessions specifically to database customisation and macro libraries — the workflows that trip up self-taught learners and separate ABC-trained candidates at panel shops and automation firms.

Why Harshal Chose ABC Trainings for Both AutoCAD and EPLAN (Student Review)

Harshal Mistry completed both AutoCAD and EPLAN courses at ABC Trainings and specifically noted the quality of the teaching staff — instructors explain concepts clearly and resolve doubts throughout the learning journey. What stands out about the ABC approach: trainers ensure each student can reproduce every drawing independently before moving to the next module, rather than rushing through a syllabus. With over 20,000 students trained since 2014 and corporate training delivered to the Indian Army engineering corps, BRO, and BARC, the teaching methodology is proven across learner types — from fresh diploma holders to practising engineers upskilling.

Students completing both courses graduate with: 2 AutoCAD project files and 2 EPLAN projects in their portfolio, a skills certificate verified by ABC Trainings, and access to ABC's placement cell connecting to Siemens India, Bosch India, ABB, L&T ECC, and 200+ Maharashtra electrical engineering employers.

Career After AutoCAD and EPLAN Certification: Who Hires and What They Pay

After AutoCAD and EPLAN certification, freshers land roles as Electrical Design Engineer, Electrical Draftsman, Panel Wiring Designer, and Automation Support Engineer. Key hiring companies: Siemens India (Pune/Aurangabad, ₹4–7 LPA freshers), Bosch India (Pune, ₹4.5–7 LPA), ABB India (Vadodara/Pune, ₹3.5–6 LPA), L&T ECC (Mumbai/Pune, ₹3–5.5 LPA), Bharat Forge Kagal (₹3.5–5 LPA), Endurance Technologies Waluj (Plot E-92, ₹3–4.5 LPA), Tata Technologies Pune (₹4–6 LPA). AmbitionBox 2026: electrical design engineers with 3–5 years experience in Maharashtra earn ₹7–14 LPA. The dual AutoCAD+EPLAN profile is the fastest path to automation sector roles because both skills are demanded together at MNC level.

AutoCAD Electrical vs EPLAN: When Do You Need Both?

AutoCAD Electrical is used for standard IEC/IEEE-style electrical drawings at most Indian companies — default for EPC firms, government PSUs, and traditional panel shops. EPLAN Electric P8 is used at premium MNCs (Siemens, Bosch, ABB, Schneider) and automotive OEM suppliers for high-complexity, database-driven designs with automated BOM generation.

If your target is mid-sized Maharashtra panel shops or civil/power sector PSUs: AutoCAD Electrical is sufficient. If your goal is Siemens, Bosch, ABB, or automotive Tier-1 suppliers: you need both — AutoCAD first for the conceptual base, then EPLAN for the advanced workflow. That's exactly the sequence ABC Trainings' combo program uses. The good news: completing both in 3.5 months means your CV matches the "AutoCAD Electrical + EPLAN" requirement in 70%+ of Maharashtra electrical design JDs.
