Punjab PSEB Matric NSQF Automotive (EV Service Assistant) study plan

Punjab PSEB Matric NSQF Automotive (EV Service Assistant) · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Battery Technology and Battery Management Systems & Introduction to the Automotive Sector and EV Ecosystem

  • Map the EV ecosystem value chain (OEM, dealer, charging operator, service centre) and state where an EV service assistant fits, in a one-page diagram

  • Label the parts of a lithium-ion cell and distinguish Li-ion NMC from LFP on energy density, cycle life and thermal behaviour

  • Define the terms SOC, SOH, DOD, C-rate and internal resistance, and compute a C-rate from a given current and capacity

  • Describe how a BMS balances cells and protects a pack against overcharge, over-discharge and over-temperature

  • Explain in plain language why battery thermal management matters for safety and range

Your checkpoint

A labelled battery pack block diagram (cells, modules, BMS, contactors, service disconnect, cooling) with a 150-word annotation explaining each block's function

Week 2

Battery Technology and Battery Management Systems & Electrical and Electronics Fundamentals for EVs

  • Compare series and parallel cell arrangements and calculate pack voltage and capacity for a given arrangement

  • Identify the function of fuses, contactors, pre-charge resistors, service disconnect and insulation monitoring inside a pack

  • Apply Ohm's law and power law to simple EV circuits and solve ten numerical problems

  • Distinguish AC and DC, and explain the role of rectifiers and inverters in an EV

  • Sketch a simple series circuit with a fuse, switch and load and explain what happens when the fuse opens

Your checkpoint

A worked problem set of ten circuit and pack-calculation numericals with answers and one-line reasoning for each

Week 3

Electric Motor, Controller and Drivetrain & Electrical and Electronics Fundamentals for EVs

  • Compare PMSM, induction and BLDC motors on efficiency, cost, magnet use and typical EV application

  • Explain the role of the motor controller and inverter in converting DC pack voltage to three-phase AC

  • Describe regenerative braking and trace the energy path from motor to pack

  • Explain the function of the reduction gear, differential and final drive in an EV drivetrain

  • Identify the sensors (resolver, hall, temperature) that feed the controller and state what each measures

Your checkpoint

A drivetrain energy-flow chart from battery to wheels covering drive, regen and coast modes, with a 100-word caption per mode

Week 4

EV Maintenance, Diagnosis and Troubleshooting & High-Voltage Safety, PPE and Emergency Response

  • Demonstrate the correct sequence for isolating a high-voltage system: power down, verify de-energisation, lockout and tag

  • Select and inspect Class 0 insulating gloves, mat, face shield and insulated tools for a given task

  • Interpret insulation resistance, isolation fault and cell imbalance readings and decide the next action

  • Describe first-aid and emergency response steps for electric shock and for a damaged or venting battery

  • List the personal and workshop-level precautions for working near an energised pack

Your checkpoint

A written high-voltage isolation and emergency response procedure with a step-by-step checklist and a PPE selection table, scored against a self-made rubric

Week 5

EV Maintenance, Diagnosis and Troubleshooting & High-Voltage Safety, PPE and Emergency Response

  • Diagnose three common EV faults (no-start, reduced power, charging failure) using a structured symptom-to-cause approach

  • Use a multimeter and insulation tester safely to check continuity, voltage and insulation on a de-energised circuit

  • Explain how to read DTCs and freeze-frame data and describe what a scan tool reveals about the BMS and controller

  • Describe safe handling, transport and storage of a removed battery pack

  • Distinguish faults an assistant may fix from those that must be escalated to a qualified technician

Your checkpoint

Three completed fault-diagnosis case write-ups, each with symptom, checks performed, readings, conclusion and escalation decision

Week 6

EV Charging Infrastructure and Charging Procedures

  • Distinguish AC Level 1, AC Level 2 and DC fast charging on connector type, power level and typical use

  • Identify the pins of a standard EV charging connector and state the purpose of the control pilot and proximity pilot signals

  • Describe the correct sequence for connecting and disconnecting a charger, including checks before and after

  • Explain earthing, RCD protection and cable inspection requirements at a charging point

  • List the safety checks and customer handover points for a charging session

Your checkpoint

A charging-session checklist covering pre-checks, connection, monitoring, disconnection and customer handover, plus a comparison table of the three charging levels

Week 7

Workshop Practice, Tools, Documentation and Customer Interaction & Employability Skills, Entrepreneurship and Environmental Awareness

  • Select the correct hand tool and torque method for five given EV service tasks and justify each choice

  • Complete a job card and service record with the fields a workshop requires, including HV isolation confirmation

  • Explain a repair to a customer in plain language without jargon and handle a range-anxiety concern

  • Draft a short business idea for an EV service or charging support venture with a cost and revenue outline
