- Assemblies with real mates and motion
- Simulation to validate before manufacture
Straight after 12th
SolidWorks after 12th, next door to the factories that use it
Very few cities let a student walk from the classroom into a plant that manufactures the part they just modelled. Ludhiana is one of them.
It fits around a degree
Most students take it during a mechanical diploma or B.Tech at GNDEC, PAU, SCD Government College, Khalsa College, Government College for Girls, Ramgarhia, PCTE and Gulzar Group, or immediately after 12th while deciding on a degree. Evening and weekend batches exist for both.
The question your parents will ask
₹15,000 to ₹25,000 a month is a realistic first CAD engineer offer in the local industrial belt, higher than AutoCAD alone. Be aware that most design-engineer roles also want a diploma or degree, so the sensible plan is this course alongside one.
What the first year actually looks like
Modelling existing parts, building assemblies from somebody else's drawings, and producing manufacturing drawings. Go and see the parts being made — the design engineers here who progressed fastest are the ones the shop floor knows by name.
AutoCAD gets you into the drawing office. SolidWorks is what gets you out of it.

What you learn
What you’ll learn in the SolidWorks course
This SolidWorks course in Ludhiana is structured to take you from complete fundamentals to advanced, job-ready CAD skills. Every module is built around real design and manufacturing scenarios, so you’re not just learning commands — you’re learning how to think through a design problem the way a professional design engineer would.
Sketching Fundamentals
You’ll start with 2D sketching — lines, arcs, constraints, dimensioning, and sketch relations. This is the foundation every 3D model is built on, and getting it right early makes every advanced module that follows much easier to grasp.
Part Modeling
Next, you’ll move into solid part modeling using features like extrude, revolve, sweep, loft, fillets, chamfers, shells, and patterns. By the end of this module, you’ll be able to model real mechanical components from scratch, based on engineering drawings or design requirements.
Assembly Design
You’ll learn how individual parts come together into functional assemblies — using mates, sub-assemblies, exploded views, and interference detection. This module reflects how real products are actually designed: not as isolated parts, but as systems that need to fit and function together.
Sheet Metal Design
Given Ludhiana’s strong manufacturing and fabrication base, sheet metal design is a key module — covering flat patterns, bends, flanges, and forming tools used heavily in local industries producing enclosures, brackets, and fabricated components.
Surface Modeling
For more complex or organic shapes that basic solid modeling can’t handle, you’ll learn surfacing techniques — a skill that sets you apart when working on product design or consumer goods with non-standard geometry.
Engineering Drawings & GD&T
You’ll learn to convert 3D models into detailed 2D manufacturing drawings, including dimensioning, tolerancing, and basic GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) — the exact documentation manufacturing teams rely on to produce parts correctly.
Simulation Basics
The course introduces simulation and analysis tools within SolidWorks, giving you a foundational understanding of how designs are tested for stress, strength, and performance before manufacturing — a valuable skill for design validation roles.
Rendering & Visualization
You’ll also learn to create realistic renders of your designs — useful for presentations, client approvals, and portfolio building when you’re applying for jobs.
Capstone Project
Everything comes together in a capstone project, where you design a complete mechanical product from concept to manufacturing-ready documentation — the single strongest piece of proof you can show an employer that you’re capable of real design work.
Tools and modules covered
- Sketch & Part Modeling
- Assembly
- Sheet Metal
- Surfacing
- Drawing (2D documentation)
- Simulation (basic)
- Visualize / Rendering
- CSWA exam-aligned practice
By the end of the course, you won’t just know how to “use” SolidWorks — you’ll be able to take a design from a rough idea to a fully documented, manufacturing-ready product, which is exactly the skill set Ludhiana’s design and manufacturing employers are hiring for.

The full programme runs 6 months. Where you finish is a question of pace rather than of syllabus — everyone covers all of it.
The case for it
Your months should build more than a certificate.
A course is worth the time you give it only if you finish with work you can show and skills you can defend. That is the standard this programme is designed against.
12+Practical learning areasfrom fundamentals to delivery
You learn SolidWorks the way it is used in production, with the workflow, tooling and standards a working team expects. Nothing in the syllabus exists only to fill hours.
Sessions are hands-on. You do every example, break it, and fix it. Each module closes with a lab task that has to work before you move on.
Four shipped finished projects — the kind of work an interviewer can open, click through and question you on.
A structured final phase: portfolio review, profile cleanup, aptitude and role-specific practice, mock interviews and placement support.
Why this course
Why should you choose this course?
Six things we hold ourselves to for every SolidWorks batch that starts in Ludhiana.
01 Industry-focused curriculum

02 Practical learning
Every concept lands in the tool the same day. You work in SolidWorks during each class, not just in your notes.
03 Real-world projects
Build with real requirements, real data and real problems — from the first task to a finished, reviewable deliverable.
04 Mentor guidance
Trainers who work with SolidWorks daily review your work, your logic and your approach line by line.
05 Career preparation
Resume, portfolio, aptitude rounds and interview practice built into the last phase of the course.
06 Placement support
Interview referrals, mock rounds and continued doubt support after the course ends.
Eligibility
Who can do the SolidWorks course in Ludhiana
One of the biggest advantages of choosing a SolidWorks course in Ludhiana at techcadd is that it’s built for a wide range of learners — you don’t need to already be a CAD expert or come from a specific academic background to get started. If you have an interest in mechanical design, product development, or manufacturing, and you’re willing to put in consistent practice, this course is designed to take you from the basics to an industry-ready skill level.
12th Pass Students (Science Stream)
If you’ve just finished your 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Maths and you’re exploring career options in engineering design, this course is an excellent head start. Learning SolidWorks early gives you a practical, hands-on skill that complements whatever engineering degree or diploma path you choose next — and it looks strong on a resume even before you graduate.
Head startDiploma Holders (Mechanical, Automobile, Production, Tool & Die)
Diploma students from polytechnics across Ludhiana and Punjab are some of the best-fit candidates for this course. Diploma programs often cover design theory but don’t always provide deep, hands-on software training. This course fills that exact gap, making diploma holders far more competitive for design engineer, CAD drafter, and CNC programming roles in Ludhiana’s manufacturing hubs.
Close the gapB.Tech / B.E. Mechanical Students & Graduates
Whether you’re currently pursuing your degree or have already graduated, mechanical engineering students consistently find that classroom knowledge alone isn’t enough for today’s job market. Recruiters across Ludhiana’s machine tool, auto parts, and industrial equipment sectors actively look for candidates who can demonstrate real SolidWorks proficiency — not just theoretical CAD knowledge. This course helps you build a project portfolio that proves your capability in interviews.
Proof, not theoryWorking Professionals Looking to Upskill
If you’re already working in a design, production, or quality role and want to move into a full-fledged design engineer position, SolidWorks is often the missing technical skill. Many working professionals join this course on weekends or in flexible batches to upgrade their CAD capabilities without pausing their job.
Weekend batchesJob Seekers Targeting Design & Manufacturing Roles
Ludhiana has a dense concentration of manufacturing, machine tool, auto-parts, and industrial equipment companies — and nearly all of them rely on SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD tools for product design and documentation. If you’re actively job hunting and want a skill that directly increases your employability in this local industry, this course is a direct, practical investment.
Local demandEntrepreneurs & Small Manufacturers
Some students join not for a job, but because they run or plan to run a small manufacturing or fabrication business. Being able to design and modify your own products in SolidWorks — instead of depending entirely on outsourced CAD work — saves time, money, and gives you more control over your own product development process.
Design in-house
What you actually need before day one
- A laptop or desktop — we help you set it up in the first session
- A stable internet connection for the online batches
- None. The course starts from complete fundamentals including basic sketching, so basic engineering knowledge and computer familiarity are enough.
- Basic English reading — the tools and their documentation are in English

Ranges are indicative, drawn from what our own students report and from openings we see through the placement cell. Actual offers depend on your portfolio, the interview and the company — nobody can promise you a number, and we do not.
CAD engineer, mechanical design engineer, product design engineer and design analyst. Note that most design-engineer titles expect a diploma or degree alongside the software — after 12th, this course typically leads into a CAD engineer role first.
Good, and it compounds with domain knowledge. A designer who understands how the part is manufactured — and in Ludhiana you can walk into the factory and find out — is worth considerably more than one who only models.
Partly. Modelling and detailing are contracted remotely, but design work usually stays close to production because the conversations happen beside the machine.
Auto-component and bicycle-parts manufacturers, machine-tool and agricultural machinery makers, fabrication and tooling units, sheet-metal and die shops, and the product companies in Ludhiana, Mohali and Chandigarh that design rather than only produce.
Directly relevant to a mechanical diploma or B.Tech, and modelled assemblies make a considerably stronger project portfolio than a report does.
Why this programme
Why this SolidWorks program is right for you
Ludhiana is home to one of North India’s largest concentrations of manufacturing, machine tool, auto-parts, and light engineering industries. That local reality shapes why this program is designed the way it is — not as a generic software course, but as a career-focused program built around what Ludhiana’s design and manufacturing employers actually expect from new hires.
Built Around Real Industry Workflows
Instead of teaching SolidWorks as an isolated set of tools and commands, this program is structured around real product design workflows — from initial sketching and part modeling through to assemblies, sheet metal design, and manufacturing-ready drawings. You won’t just learn “how to use a feature” — you’ll learn how that feature fits into an actual design-to-manufacturing process, which is exactly what hiring managers in Ludhiana’s machine tool and auto-component sector look for.
Certification-Focused Structure
The course is structured to align with the CSWA (Certified SolidWorks Associate) exam, giving you a globally recognized certification alongside your practical training. For students competing in a crowded job market, having a certification that validates your skills — not just a completion certificate — makes a real difference at the interview stage.
Small Batch Sizes, Real Attention
Unlike large, one-size-fits-all coaching setups, this program is run in small batches so instructors can actually track your progress, correct your modeling mistakes, and guide you through your capstone project individually. If you’ve ever sat in a large class and felt lost trying to keep pace, this structure is specifically meant to avoid that problem.
Learn From Practitioners, Not Just Trainers
Instruction comes from professionals with real-world product design and manufacturing experience — not just people reading through a fixed syllabus. That means you get practical insights on design standards, tolerancing, and manufacturing constraints that you simply won’t find in a textbook-only class.
Portfolio & Interview Readiness Built In
By the end of the program, you won’t just have a certificate — you’ll have a portfolio of completed design projects, assemblies, and manufacturing documentation that you can show directly to employers. Combined with resume-building and interview preparation support, this program is built to get you from “I learned SolidWorks” to “I’m ready to be hired as a design engineer.”
Local Placement Connections
Because the program is based in Ludhiana, training and placement support are aligned with the companies actually hiring here — manufacturing units, design consultancies, and auto-component businesses across the region — rather than a generic national placement list that has little relevance to your local job search.
A Practical Investment, Not Just a Course
Whether your goal is a design engineer job, a CNC/CAM programming role, better prospects in your current position, or the ability to design your own products as an entrepreneur, this program is built to deliver a skill you can immediately put to use — not just a certificate to file away.
The programme is shaped by the city it sits in: what Ludhiana’s machine tool, auto-component and fabrication employers hire for is what the course spends its time on.
Why techcadd
Why choose techcadd
With multiple institutes across Ludhiana offering CAD training, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Here’s what genuinely sets techcadd apart when it comes to SolidWorks training — and why it consistently comes up as a top choice for students searching for a serious, career-focused program.
A Training Institute Built Around Design and CAD
techcadd has built its reputation specifically around design and CAD training, with certified instructors, an industry-aligned curriculum, and a track record of training mechanical designers and engineers. This isn’t a generic computer institute that added SolidWorks as an afterthought — CAD and mechanical design training is a core focus.
Certified, Experienced Instructors (CSWA/CSWP)
You learn directly from CSWA/CSWP certified professionals who bring real-world product design and manufacturing experience into the classroom. That means the guidance you get goes beyond “how to use the software” — you learn how design decisions actually play out on the shop floor and in manufacturing documentation.
Comprehensive, Industry-Aligned Curriculum
The course covers the full spectrum of SolidWorks skills — from basic sketching and part modeling to advanced surface modeling, complex assemblies, sheet metal design, and simulation. Nothing is skipped, and the sequence is designed to build your competence step by step, so you’re never thrown into advanced topics without a solid foundation.
Training on Current SolidWorks Versions
techcadd trains students on recent SolidWorks releases across all modules, so the skills you learn transfer directly to what companies are using today rather than leaving you to re-learn tools on the job.
Small Batches, Personal Attention
Class sizes are kept small so instructors can give every student real, individual attention. Complex modeling concepts, capstone projects, and one-on-one doubt-clearing are all part of the learning experience — not left for students to figure out alone.
Real Projects, Not Just Practice Files
Students work on real mechanical assemblies and create complete manufacturing documentation as part of the course — the same kind of work you’d be expected to do in an actual design engineer role. This hands-on, project-based approach is what prepares you for real industry work, not just software familiarity.
Certification Guidance Built In
Training is structured to align with the CSWA exam, complete with practice tests and exam guidance — so certification isn’t an afterthought, it’s part of the plan from day one.
Career & Placement Support
Beyond technical training, techcadd supports students with portfolio development, resume building, interview preparation, and connections with manufacturing and design companies — turning your SolidWorks skills into an actual job opportunity in Ludhiana’s design and manufacturing sector.
Thousands of Students Trained
techcadd has trained thousands of mechanical designers and engineers over the years, giving it a track record built batch after batch rather than through advertising.
CAD as a core focus rather than a side offering, certified practitioners teaching it, small batches, and real project work — that combination is what students compare when they shortlist institutes here.

Future scope
The road ahead for SolidWorks
A course ends; the field does not. Here is the honest version of what the next few years look like for SolidWorks — where the roles go, and what is shifting underneath them while you learn.
- Year 0–1
Get in on proof of work
Entry roles such as Mechanical Design Engineer open as soon as you have projects that run. At this stage nobody is asking about your marks — they are asking you to walk through something you built.
- Year 2–4
Specialise and get paid for it
The generalists plateau; the specialists do not. Depth in one part of SolidWorks — the part your first job leans on hardest — is what moves you towards cad engineer work.
- Year 5+
Own the decisions
Architecture, standards, hiring and mentoring. The technical skill is assumed by now; what you are paid for is judgement, and judgement only comes from having shipped things that mattered.
AI is now part of the job
Teams expect SolidWorks work to be done alongside AI tooling. It raises the floor on output and raises the bar on what counts as a junior — which is exactly why the fundamentals in this course are taught the hard way.
The scope keeps widening
What used to be one narrow role now touches data, deployment and the product decision behind it. Every extra layer of SolidWorks you understand is another kind of room you get invited into.
Demand outside the metros
Remote and hybrid hiring means Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Chandigarh candidates now compete for the same roles as Bengaluru ones. Location has stopped being the ceiling it used to be.
Proof beats paper
Hiring has moved to portfolios, take-home tasks and live problem solving. A certificate opens a shortlist; work that runs is what gets you through the round after it.

| 1-on-1 classes | One-to-one teaching available on every course — the pace is yours, and your work is looked at by name | One group class moving at one pace, whoever that pace happens to suit |
| Project work | 5 real projects plus a capstone you deploy and defend | Guided exercises copied from the board |
| Curriculum | Reviewed every batch against what working teams ship | Updated when the printed syllabus is reprinted |
| How a module ends | A lab task that has to run before you move on | Notes to revise before an exam |
| Doubt support | Trainer sits with your code; open lab hours between classes | Ask at the end of class if there is time left |
| What you leave with | Completion certificate, project certificate, internship letter — all verifiable | One printed certificate |
| After the course | Portfolio review, mock interviews, referrals, continued doubt support | The course ends and so does the contact |
Written about the market, not about any particular institute in it. Visit two or three, sit through a demo class at each, and ask all eight of these questions — that is the only version of this table worth trusting.

Rohit Sharma
SolidWorks / B.Tech Mechanical, GNE Ludhiana
I joined techcadd right after my 6th semester to get a head start before placements. The way they taught assemblies and sheet metal design was very practical — not just theory. I used my capstone project in almost every interview I gave in Ludhiana. Ended up getting a design engineer offer before I even finished my degree.
Simranjeet Kaur
SolidWorks / Diploma, Mechanical Engineering
Coming from a diploma background, I was worried I wouldn’t keep up with degree students in the batch. But the trainers explained everything step by step, and the small batch size meant I could ask doubts without hesitation. My sheet metal module skills directly helped me get a job in a fabrication unit near Gill Road.
Gurpreet Singh
SolidWorks / Working professional, CNC operator
I was working in a machine shop for 3 years but wanted to move into design. Joined the weekend batch at techcadd. Honestly the CSWA-focused training gave me the confidence to actually clear the certification, and I recently moved into a CAM programming role.
Anmol Verma
SolidWorks / B.E. Mechanical, Chandigarh
Travelled from Chandigarh a few times a week for this course because I heard techcadd has one of the better SolidWorks setups in the region. The surfacing module especially was taught really well — better than what I saw in some Chandigarh institutes.
Harleen Kaur
SolidWorks / 12th pass (PCM)
I joined right after 12th just to explore mechanical design before choosing my engineering stream. Didn’t expect to enjoy it this much honestly. The instructors were patient with beginners like me who had zero CAD background.
Deepak Bansal
SolidWorks / Diploma, Tool & Die
Ludhiana has a lot of small institutes claiming to teach SolidWorks, but most just show you the software. techcadd actually made us work on real assemblies and manufacturing drawings. That difference showed up clearly when I went for interviews in local machine tool companies.
Ramanpreet Singh
SolidWorks / B.Tech Mechanical, PTU
Good structured course. Simulation module was a bit fast for me personally, but the trainers gave extra time when I asked. Placement support helped me get interview calls with two design firms in Ludhiana.
Navjot Kaur
SolidWorks / Graduate, career switcher
I came from a non-technical background and wanted to switch into CAD design. Was honestly nervous joining, but the fundamentals module built my confidence from zero. Now working as a junior design associate.
Karanveer Singh

I was working in a machine shop for 3 years but wanted to move into design. Joined the weekend batch at techcadd. Honestly the CSWA-focused training gave me the confidence to actually clear the certification, and I recently moved into a CAM programming role.
Anmol Verma
SolidWorks / B.E. Mechanical, Chandigarh
Travelled from Chandigarh a few times a week for this course because I heard techcadd has one of the better SolidWorks setups in the region. The surfacing module especially was taught really well — better than what I saw in some Chandigarh institutes.
Harleen Kaur
SolidWorks / 12th pass (PCM)
I joined right after 12th just to explore mechanical design before choosing my engineering stream. Didn’t expect to enjoy it this much honestly. The instructors were patient with beginners like me who had zero CAD background.
Deepak Bansal
SolidWorks / Diploma, Tool & Die
Ludhiana has a lot of small institutes claiming to teach SolidWorks, but most just show you the software. techcadd actually made us work on real assemblies and manufacturing drawings. That difference showed up clearly when I went for interviews in local machine tool companies.
Ramanpreet Singh
SolidWorks / B.Tech Mechanical, PTU
Good structured course. Simulation module was a bit fast for me personally, but the trainers gave extra time when I asked. Placement support helped me get interview calls with two design firms in Ludhiana.
Navjot Kaur
SolidWorks / Graduate, career switcher
I came from a non-technical background and wanted to switch into CAD design. Was honestly nervous joining, but the fundamentals module built my confidence from zero. Now working as a junior design associate.
Karanveer Singh
SolidWorks / Diploma, Automobile Engineering
The instructors have actual industry experience, you can tell from how they explain design constraints — not just software steps. Learned things about manufacturing tolerances I never got in my diploma classes.
Ishaan Mehta
SolidWorks / B.Tech Mechanical
Best decision before campus placements. My portfolio from the capstone project became the main talking point in every interview. Got placed in a Ludhiana-based auto components company right after the course.
Prabhjot Kaur
SolidWorks / Working professional
Balancing job and classes was hard but the batch timing flexibility at techcadd made it manageable. Learned sheet metal and assembly design which I use daily in my current design role now.
