Course Overview

TechCadd's AutoCAD in Amritsar is aimed at students who have just finished 12th — whatever they have or have not done before. The early modules cover Getting Started with AutoCAD, Core 2D Drafting Tools and Layers & Layer Management, so nothing later assumes knowledge you were never given. From there you take on Dimensioning & Annotation and Blocks & Block Editing. The second half is where it turns practical: you work in AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, DWG TrueView, eDrawings, PDF plotting and MS Excel the way a team actually does, against briefs that carry a real deadline. Each module ends in something you have built and a trainer has reviewed, so you finish with a portfolio, a CV built around it and interview practice for CAD Draughtsman, Junior Draughtsman and Site Documentation Assistant roles.

What the AutoCAD programme actually covers

What the AutoCAD programme actually covers

A drawing is a legal document on a site, so the course is as strict about layer discipline and title blocks as it is about the geometry itself.

The autocad programme runs across 3 months at TechCadd Amritsar and is built for students who have just finished school — no degree, no prior experience and no coding background assumed. Two hours a day, five days a week, in batches small enough that your work is looked at individually.

You can take it as a standalone career course, run it alongside a degree in the evening or weekend batch, or use it to fill a drop year with something a recruiter will actually read. Whichever route you take, the finish line is the same: a certificate, 3 reviewed projects and a portfolio you can talk through in an interview.

  • 12th pass, PCM preferred, and no entrance test
  • Every concept is built before it is examined
  • Mentors are working practitioners, not career trainers
  • Lab access and doubt sessions outside batch hours

Module by module curriculum
10 modules, each ending in something reviewable that goes into your portfolio.
Module 01 of 10Design & Drafting

Getting Started with AutoCAD

Getting Started with AutoCAD is where the AutoCAD track gets its footing. You work the concepts in the lab first, then carry them straight into the running project rather than leaving them as isolated exercises.

Skills you build

  • Interface and workspace setup
  • The command line
  • Cartesian coordinate navigation

Tools in this module

AutoCADAutoCAD LTDWG TrueVieweDrawings
You finish with

A reviewed piece of work demonstrating interface and workspace setup and the command line.

Eligibility

Four kinds of people join this batch. You are probably one of them.

Who this course is for

There is no entrance test and no prerequisite degree. What the programme does assume is that you will show up for the full 3 months and do the project work.

01No experience needed

Straight out of 12th

The programme assumes nothing beyond a 12th pass and comfort with a computer. You start at the actual beginning of autocad, and by month three you are working on a brief rather than an exercise.

02Evening & weekend

Studying alongside a degree

Two hours a day fits either side of a college timetable. You graduate with a autocad portfolio already built instead of starting one after your final semester.

03Fills the year

Taking a drop or gap year

An empty year reads badly on a CV. A certificate, 3 reviewed projects and an internship letter turn it into something you can explain in an interview.

04Applies immediately

Joining a family business

Bring the business you already know and layer autocad onto it. Students in this group usually apply the first two modules inside their own shop or unit before the course has ended.

Where it leads

Future scope

Where autocad is headed from here

Where autocad is headed from here

A certificate answers what you can do today. This is the honest answer to what autocad looks like three to five years out, and why the fundamentals this course spends real time on are what carry you there.

  • Demand is structural, not seasonalInfrastructure and real-estate spending across Punjab and the rest of India keeps funding new sites, and every one of them needs drawings before it needs concrete.
  • The skill ladder keeps climbingCAD Draughtsman is the entry rung, not the ceiling. Once that portfolio is in place, junior draughtsman is the realistic next step — a promotion earned on the job, not a second course you have to go back and pay for.
  • Tooling changes; fundamentals compoundAutoCAD and the rest of the stack will look different in five years — they always do. What does not expire is the fundamentals this course is built around, which is why the syllabus is reviewed each intake instead of frozen once and reused.
  • Remote and hybrid widen the marketA autocad portfolio built in Amritsar competes for the same remote and hybrid roles as anywhere else. Companies hiring for this work are increasingly indifferent to which city the offer letter is posted to.
What you walk away with

The 3 months programme is built around the part that is genuinely in your hands — and you leave holding all of it.

A reviewed portfolio, an industry-recognised certificate and a fundamentals-first foundation you can keep building on. Markets move, as they always have; that foundation is exactly what lets you move with them as drafting and design work around you keeps shifting.

Why choose AutoCAD

Why students choose techcadd

Why students choose techcadd

Two decades of training in Amritsar, in a format that has not changed since: small batches, real projects, mentors who still work in the field.

  • 01

    Practitioner-led teaching

    Your mentor works in autocad for a living. The examples in class come from that work, and so do the shortcuts.

  • 02

    Small, fixed batches

    Batch sizes are capped so a raised hand gets answered in the session it was raised in, not weeks later.

  • 03

    Reviewed, not marked

    Every submission comes back annotated, line by line. The notes are the point — they are what you carry into the interview.

  • 04

    Current tooling

    We teach AutoCAD, AutoCAD LT, DWG TrueView and refresh the list each intake, because a stale stack is worse than no stack.

  • 05

    Flexible batches

    Morning, evening and weekend tracks, classroom or live online, with recordings either way for revision.

  • 06

    Support that continues

    Resume and portfolio review, mock interviews and hiring-drive access — and it does not stop the day the course ends.

I joined the AutoCAD batch with almost no background, and what made the difference was that getting started with autocad was taught by building rather than by slides. By the third week I was debugging my own code instead of copying someone else's.
Gurpreet SinghCAD Draughtsman, Bengaluru
The project reviews are the real value. My mechanical part drawing was picked apart line by line, and those notes are exactly what I ended up talking through in the interview that got me a junior draughtsman offer.
Karanveer BrarJunior Draughtsman, Mohali
Weekend batches meant I kept my job through the whole 3 months. Anything I missed got re-explained without fuss, and lab access outside batch hours was never a problem.
Jasleen GrewalSite Documentation Assistant, Hyderabad
eDrawings and the rest of the stack were set up on day one, so no week went into environment issues. Batches are small enough that a doubt gets answered the same day instead of piling up.
Harman SidhuDesign Office Trainee, Jalandhar
I had tried learning autocad on my own twice and stalled both times. A fixed batch in Amritsar, a mentor who checks your work and a deadline on every module is the only reason I finished.
Neha BansalFreelance Drafter, Amritsar
Placement support was not just a line on the brochure — resume and portfolio review, two mock interviews with people who do the job, and a referral into one of the hiring drives.
Tanvir DhillonCAD Draughtsman, Noida
The syllabus is current. We worked in DWG TrueView rather than the older tooling most autocad syllabi around here still teach, and that came up directly in my first interview.
Ritika ChopraJunior Draughtsman, Amritsar
The balance of theory to lab time is about right: enough to understand why something works, then straight into building. I left with 3 projects I can demo, not just a certificate.
Mohit KhannaSite Documentation Assistant, Batala
