The Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) has announced its preparations to train and mentor young talent for IndiaSkills 2025, the nation’s premier skill competition organized by the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE). The event serves as the national gateway for India’s participation in the WorldSkills Competition 2026 in Shanghai, where competitors from around the world showcase their expertise.
ESSCI will manage eight advanced skill categories at IndiaSkills 2025: Electronics, Electrical Installation, Refrigeration & Air Conditioning, Autonomous Mobile Robotics, Mechatronics, Intelligent Security Technology, Optoelectronic Technology, and Unmanned Aerial Systems. These areas represent emerging technologies critical for India’s competitiveness in the global electronics and technology sectors.
Saleem Ahmed, Officiating Head of ESSCI, emphasised the importance of the initiative, stating,
“IndiaSkills is more than a competition—it is a national movement to identify and nurture talent that can transform India’s technological future. ESSCI is committed to preparing our competitors with world-class training, industry mentorship, and international exposure so that India not only participates but excels at the WorldSkills stage.”
To ensure strong performance, ESSCI has lined up bootcamps, expert-led workshops, and industry-backed mentorship programmes. Participants will gain hands-on experience with advanced labs, global-standard tools, and soft skill development to excel under high-pressure competitive environments.
Registrations for IndiaSkills 2025 are open on the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH) portal and will close on 30 September 2025. Youth from all 36 states and union territories are eligible to apply across 63 skill categories.
Through these initiatives, ESSCI aims to produce medal winners for India while strengthening the pipeline of highly skilled professionals ready to contribute to the electronics and technology sectors both domestically and internationally.
