The Mechatronics program offers a 3.5-year course that focuses on developing school leavers’ talents to take up critical roles.
Skoda has showcased a unique 4-door convertible based on the Rapid, developed as part of the first-ever ‘Student Car Project’ in India. The Rapid convertible was created by students from the Group Academy’s Dual Vocational Training in Mechatronics program.
As part of their project, mechatronics students from the academy converted a standard hard-top sedan into a cabriolet. Students ensured to complete the project on time and with an immaculate finish. The Rapid convertible gets a retractable Skoda badge on the bonnet with LED lip lighting, an illuminated ‘Skoda’ inscription on the boot lid and other sporty bits.
Inside, the car gets a touchscreen infotainment system, scarlet red leather seats and a sporty exhaust. The students also had to integrate the seatbelts into the front seat as the car doesn’t have a B-pillar.
