Frequently Asked Questions About IISE Study Centres
Detailed answers regarding centre levels, authorisation fees, eligibility, and academic delivery requirements.
An IISE Authorised Study Centre is a formally approved technical education and vocational training partner collaborating with the Indian Institute of Solar Energy. Authorised centres deliver designated clean-energy curricula, practical skill courses, and approved certification pathways in solar PV, electric vehicles, and renewable technologies in their locality.
Applications are open to colleges, universities, ITIs, polytechnics, existing private training centres, education entrepreneurs, solar EPC companies, renewable energy professionals, and registered skill development organisations across India.
IISE has created three structured study centre categories aligned with local population and market context: Level 1 — Metro Study Centre, Level 2 — Town Study Centre, and Level 3 — Rural Study Centre.
The confirmed one-time IISE authorisation/partnership fee for a Metro Study Centre is ₹1,00,000. This tier is intended for centres established in major metropolitan cities serving engineering graduates, professionals, and corporate clients.
The confirmed one-time IISE authorisation/partnership fee for a Town Study Centre is ₹75,000. This tier is designed for district headquarters, Tier-2/3 cities, and urban centres serving regional learners and technicians.
The confirmed one-time IISE authorisation/partnership fee for a Rural Study Centre is ₹50,000. This accessible tier is created to expand technical clean-energy learning and rural vocational livelihoods in underserved communities.
No. The amounts represent strictly the one-time IISE authorisation/partnership fee for the respective category. They are not the total cost of establishing or operating a study centre. Real estate, equipment, staffing, and operations are separate.
Applicants should budget for classroom premises (rent or own), presentation display systems, computers/internet access, demonstration equipment or lab setups corresponding to the programmes offered, instructor remuneration, local student outreach, and administrative utilities.
No. While existing schools, colleges, and polytechnics are welcomed, education entrepreneurs and businesses who are currently setting up or planning new facilities are also eligible to apply.
Yes. Solar EPC companies and individual entrepreneurs with renewable energy or engineering backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply, as practical field familiarity enhances training quality.
Depending on the approved scope of authorisation, centres may deliver curricula in Solar PV Technology, Solar Installation & Maintenance, Electric Vehicle Design & Powertrains, Battery Energy Storage Systems, and technical workshops. Permissions are specified in the formal partnership agreement.
Prior technical experience is beneficial but not mandatory, provided the applicant has education management capability and engages qualified technical instructors capable of delivering the coursework.
Basic requirements include a clean classroom, internet connectivity, computer/presentation facilities, and practical training arrangements suitable for the specific courses being offered. Exact requirements depend on the centre category and course portfolio.
Yes. Approved study centre partners explore access to structured curricula, course outlines, teaching guides, and faculty orientation according to the specific agreed partnership model.
No. Submitting an application or paying an authorisation fee does not automatically confer authorised status. Formal evaluation, written approval, and the execution of the formal agreement are strictly required before using IISE branding or representing the centre as authorised.
Territory rights and geographic protection are not automatic. Where territory considerations apply, they must be expressly evaluated, agreed upon, and documented in the written agreement rather than assumed.
Timelines depend on application completeness, background evaluation, location verification, and mutual discussions. IISE evaluates each application diligently on a case-by-case basis.
IISE's partnerships desk reviews your information, checks location feasibility, and contacts you via telephone or email to schedule an exploratory discussion regarding programmes, commercial terms, and operational requirements.
While the three fee tiers (Metro ₹1,00,000, Town ₹75,000, Rural ₹50,000) are structured specifically for India, international organisations may submit an enquiry to discuss cross-border curriculum licensing and vocational training frameworks.
Select Metro if you are in a major tier-1 metropolitan city; Town if in a district headquarters, tier-2 or tier-3 city; or Rural if serving a rural block or village community. You may also choose "Need guidance" in the form and IISE will advise based on your proposed location.
