It has been a very nice and enriching experience for me to be associated with TERI SAS as a student of distance learning Program on Renewable Energy. Renewable energy resources are the need of the hour. Courses provided by TERI SAS are very meticulously designed and give a fairly good insight of the entire renewable energy spectrum - from evolution of technologies to policies and programs.
Course material in terms of study guides, power point presentations, technical references as well as webinars are well organized and are academically very informative and enriching. Attending / going through the webinar sessions seems as good as attending a class in person. Students get all academic support needed for completion of the course – thanks to the learned professors and very helpful support team. Relevant information, for an energy enthusiast as well as for an aspirant looking for a career in the field of renewable energy, is very nicely consolidated. Time management in conducting the exams for distance learning courses as well as peaceful academic ambiance of the “Green Energy Campus” at TERI SAS is highly commendable.

The course introduced me to the fundamentals of Renewable Energy and the varied available technologies. It gave an insight into the Indian energy Sector and how economic policies are impacting the adoption of cleaner energy.
I am a software professional and had very little exposure to this Industry. The course gave me the opportunity to meet many people who have either worked extensively in this field or are enthusiastic about reducing carbon footprint. Interacting with them has improved my understanding of the sector and increased my interest.
It gives me an immense pleasure to recommend the TERI’s PGDPRE Program to the youth & working Professionals in India, mainly because of its outstanding & thorough syllabus and contents. I am delightful to complete the Post Graduate Diploma in Renewable Energy Program during the batch of July 2017 to Sept 2018.

While working on various Renewable Energy Projects, I got an opportunity of enrolment for PGDPRE Program at TERI School of Advance Studies during July 2017; and then the excited journey started with the Faculties as well as many industry colleagues for the sharing of knowledge & experience as per the requirements of Syllabus; and I would like to reiterate that TERI’s methodical Syllabus on all the Renewable Energy Technologies has refreshed & induced me towards various innovative aspirations in this segment.
TERI offers a plethora of masters and post graduation courses specializing in environmental science, sustainable and renewable energy which drew my attention for enrolling with them. TERI is also affiliated with UNEP and UNDP India for many projects.
With experienced faculty and specialization in this particular domain I opted for TERI University and as joining a full-time course was not possible for me I chose Distance course in advance post graduation Diploma- Renewable Energy. The study material provided and webinars conducted by subject matter experts are resourceful. Study portal on website is user-friendly, faculties and administration are always available for any assistance. Being an entrepreneur and working with biodegradable and renewable resources, this course has helped me gain knowledge about other renewable energy resources available, how we can implement them and live a green life."
