Why CADD in Ludhiana

A city that builds and manufactures needs people who can draw it first.

Ludhiana is Punjab’s largest manufacturing centre — bicycles and cycle parts, auto components, machine tools, sewing-machine parts and tractor parts are designed and made in its Focal Point and industrial areas. Every one of those parts starts as a CAD model and reaches the machine as a CAM program.

At the same time, the city keeps building: housing along Ferozepur Road, Pakhowal Road and the new colonies around the city, and commercial projects across the centre. Architects, civil consultants and interior studios all need draughtspersons who can produce accurate drawings and convincing renders.

Our CADD tracks are taught at the Bharat Nagar Chowk campus on real drawings and practical projects, so what you learn here is what you will be asked to do at work.

  • Hands-on lab practice on licensed-standard software
  • Projects drawn from local construction and manufacturing
  • Separate civil, mechanical, interior and CAD/CAM tracks
  • Certificate on completion, with portfolio guidance

Questions

Before you enrol.

Durations on this page are typical. Fees and current batch timings are confirmed by the Ludhiana campus — call or book a free demo class.

  • Almost every track starts with AutoCAD. Civil and architecture students then move to Revit, STAAD.Pro or SketchUp; mechanical students move to SOLIDWORKS, CATIA or Creo, and then to Mastercam and CNC programming for CAD/CAM. A counsellor at the Ludhiana campus will suggest a path based on your branch and goal.

  • Yes. Diploma, ITI, B.Tech and B.Arch students all join these courses, as do working draughtspersons who want to add a new software. No prior CAD knowledge is needed for the beginner courses.

  • Yes — the courses are lab-based. You draw and model on the computer in every class and finish with projects based on real buildings and parts, which become your portfolio.

  • Classes are held at the techcadd campus at Bharat Nagar Chowk, Ludhiana. Durations shown are typical; morning, afternoon and evening batches run through the week, and the current fee and batch schedule are confirmed when you visit or call the campus.
