What you'll walk away with
This program leads to roles like ETCS Engineer, Signalling Design Engineer, and Testing & Commissioning Engineer on live railway projects. Signalling engineers in India earn ₹11-13 LPA at the mid-level and ₹15-20+ LPA once senior, with international ETCS roles paying $97K-$162K a year. Most engineers move from graduate signalling roles into ETCS specialist work, then into system or lead engineering positions. Typical employers include global OEMs like Alstom, Siemens, and Hitachi Rail, alongside national rail operators running ETCS deployments.

Stories
A Proud Milestone - I’m delighted to share that I have completed the Executive Post Graduate Programme in Rail Management (Cohort Batch-2) from IIM Kashipur. My sincere thanks to everyone who supported me throughout this 14-month journey. The programme reignited the same curiosity and passion I felt after completing my engineering. The on-campus bootcamp at IIM Kashipur was truly enriching, and earning IIM alumni status is a matter of immense pride. I look forward to staying connected with the alumni community and applying these learnings to contribute meaningfully to the rail industry. A milestone achieved, a journey that continues.
