AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN and PLC Training at ABC Trainings: From Beginner to Working Designer (2026)

AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN and PLC Training at ABC Trainings: From Beginner to Working Designer (2026) (Updated August 2026)

Mansavila Jadhav came to ABC Trainings looking for AutoCAD Electrical skills to advance as a designer at Aaradhya Enterprises. Three months later, she had completed AutoCAD Electrical, was actively working on an EPLAN project, and had already enrolled in the PLC course — building the kind of layered skill stack that sets electrical designers apart in Maharashtra's manufacturing corridor. AURIC (Aurangabad Industrial Corridor) has committed ₹71,343 crore in investment and 62,405 jobs across Marathwada, with Skoda Volkswagen Shendra, Bajaj Waluj, Endurance, Hyosung, and Toyota Kirloskar all driving demand for qualified electrical design engineers. What most people don't realise is that the AutoCAD Electrical → EPLAN → PLC pathway is exactly the skill sequence these manufacturers look for when hiring for electrical design and automation roles.

Mansavila Jadhav's Journey: Three Months from AutoCAD Electrical to EPLAN and PLC

Mansavila Jadhav's account, in her own words, captures exactly what quality technical training looks like: she came for AutoCAD Electrical, found Rutuja ma'am's teaching style to be the clearest and most effective she'd encountered (having also worked with another trainer at the institute before switching), and left with a multi-course progression she'd already invested in. Every point Rutuja ma'am explains is broken down into what's correct and what needs improvement — a granular, patient style that Mansavila describes as unlike any trainer she'd previously worked with. That kind of point-specific correction is precisely what builds real skill rather than surface familiarity with software.

What the AutoCAD Electrical Course Covers at ABC Trainings

AutoCAD Electrical is the industry-standard tool for creating electrical schematic diagrams, panel layouts, wire harness designs, and control circuit documentation. The course at ABC Trainings covers electrical symbol libraries, wire numbering, component tagging, terminal and report generation, and cross-referencing — the exact workflows used by electrical designers at Aaradhya Enterprises and similar firms. Unlike generic AutoCAD, AutoCAD Electrical automates many drawing tasks (wire numbering, BOM generation) that manual drafters handle laboriously — which is why companies specifically ask for AutoCAD Electrical proficiency, not just basic AutoCAD, on their JD requirements.

Why EPLAN is the Next Step After AutoCAD Electrical for Electrical Designers

EPLAN is the premium-tier electrical engineering software used by global manufacturers — Siemens, Bosch, Skoda Volkswagen, and Endurance all standardise on EPLAN for their electrical documentation. After AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN is the natural progression: it handles the same schematic and panel design tasks but with tighter integration into PLM systems, automated cross-reference validation, and multi-engineer collaboration features. Mansavila progressed to working on an EPLAN project at Aaradhya Enterprises within three months — which is the clearest possible indicator that the training builds production-ready skill, not just classroom familiarity.

Software / Skill	Used For	Industry Users	Starting Salary
AutoCAD Electrical	Schematics, panel layouts, wire numbering	Bajaj, Endurance, SMEs	₹2.5–4 LPA
EPLAN	Advanced electrical engineering, PLM integration	Siemens, Bosch, Skoda VW	₹3.5–6 LPA
PLC Programming	Automation logic, commissioning	All manufacturing plants	₹4–7 LPA
AutoCAD Elec + EPLAN + PLC	Full electrical design + automation stack	Tier-1 automotive, heavy industry	₹6–12 LPA

PLC Training: Completing the Electrical Design and Automation Skill Stack

PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) training adds the automation layer to an electrical designer's profile — moving from documentation of existing systems to being able to programme and commission control logic. For manufacturing roles in Marathwada's industrial corridor, the combination of AutoCAD Electrical + EPLAN (design and documentation) plus PLC programming (automation and commissioning) is the complete skill package for a senior electrical engineer or automation specialist role. Mansavila's decision to enrol in PLC while still active in EPLAN training is the right sequence — each skill layer reinforces the previous one.

Who Hires Electrical Designers in Marathwada — Five Key Companies with Addresses

Electrical designers and automation engineers in Marathwada are in sustained demand from five key employers. Skoda Volkswagen Shendra (Plot A-1/1, Shendra MIDC) hires electrical and automation engineers for their Pune and Aurangabad plant operations. Bajaj Auto Waluj (Plot G-137, Waluj MIDC) consistently recruits for electrical design and PLC-skilled engineers. Endurance Technologies (Plot E-92, Waluj MIDC) runs a large electrical engineering team for its auto-components manufacturing. Hyosung Heavy Industries, investing ₹3,000 crore in Aurangabad, is building out its technical workforce. Toyota Kirloskar's AURIC facility and Ather Energy's Bidkin plant are additional growth employers for automation-skilled electrical engineers.

FAQs

What is the course sequence from AutoCAD Electrical to EPLAN and PLC at ABC Trainings?

The recommended sequence is: AutoCAD Electrical first (covering schematics, panel layouts, wire numbering, and component documentation), then EPLAN (for advanced electrical engineering and PLM-integrated documentation), then PLC programming (for automation and control system commissioning). This is the exact progression Mansavila Jadhav followed at ABC Trainings CIDCO — each skill layer builds on the previous one and prepares you for progressively senior roles in electrical design and automation.

How long does the AutoCAD Electrical course take at ABC Trainings?

The AutoCAD Electrical course at ABC Trainings runs approximately 45–60 hours (1.5–2 months) for the standard module. Combined AutoCAD Electrical + EPLAN tracks run 3–4 months. Adding PLC training extends the total to 5–6 months for a full electrical design and automation curriculum. Weekend and weekday batch options are available.

What do electrical designers with AutoCAD Electrical and EPLAN skills earn in Maharashtra?

Electrical designers with AutoCAD Electrical skills earn ₹2.5–4 LPA at entry level, while EPLAN-proficient designers earn ₹3.5–6 LPA according to AmbitionBox and Glassdoor India 2026 data. Engineers with the full stack (AutoCAD Electrical + EPLAN + PLC) command ₹6–12 LPA with 2–3 years of experience, especially at Tier-1 automotive suppliers in Maharashtra's AURIC corridor — Skoda VW, Bajaj, Endurance, and Hyosung.

Is AutoCAD Electrical training at ABC Trainings better than CADD Centre for electrical design careers?

Both ABC Trainings and CADD Centre offer AutoCAD Electrical programs, but ABC Trainings differentiates on trainer quality (hands-on, point-specific correction as Mansavila describes), multi-course pathway continuity (AutoCAD Electrical → EPLAN → PLC in one institution), CMYKPY and PMKVY government fee support, and center availability in Sambhajinagar and Sangli where CADD Centre's reach is limited. If proximity, placement support, and government scheme eligibility matter to you, ABC Trainings is the practical choice for Marathwada-based students.
