PLC SCADA Training Fees and PLC Course Fees in Bangalore (2026)
The short answer
The cheapest published PLC courses near Bangalore are government ones: NSTI Bengaluru charges a private candidate ₹1,000 a week for its five-day Siemens S7-1200/1500 PLC course. Online government courses cost ₹4,500 to ₹5,000. A five-day Rockwell Studio 5000 course costs ₹57,772 plus tax. Most private Bangalore institutes, EDWartens included, do not publish one fixed fee.
Every figure below was read on the institute's or vendor's own page on 5 October 2026 unless the row says otherwise. Fees change, so check the source before you plan around a number.
Published PLC and PLC SCADA course fees (2026)
Institute or body | Course | Duration | Published fee | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
NSTI Bengaluru (Government of India) | Siemens S7-1200/1500 PLC Programming and HMI, Integration with DCS | 5 days | ₹1,000 per week for private candidates | |
IDEMI Bengaluru (MSME Ministry) | PLC Programming, online | Short course | ₹5,000 including GST, as listed by Careers360; confirm with IDEMI | |
NIELIT Calicut | Industrial Automation with PLC and SCADA, online | 4 weeks, 35 hours | ₹4,500 including GST | |
NSTI Chennai | PLC Programming using Siemens S7-1200 with HMI and SCADA | 2 weeks | ₹1,000 per week plus ₹100 registration | |
NSIC Technical Services Centre, Chennai | Certified PLC Programmer (any two PLCs with HMI) | 1 month | ₹8,000 plus GST | |
CTTC Bhubaneswar (MSME Ministry) | PLC; SCADA | 1 month each | ₹8,000 each plus ₹1,000 registration | |
CTTC Bhubaneswar | Process Designer: Automation | 6 months, 600 hours | ₹36,000 | Same document |
ASAP Kerala (Government of Kerala) | Industrial Automation | 300 hours | ₹47,200 including GST | |
Rockwell Automation India (vendor, not Siemens) | Studio 5000 Logix Designer Level 1 | 5 days | ₹57,772 plus tax | |
Siemens SITRAIN India | Classroom TIA Portal courses | 3 to 5 days | Shown per batch only when a date is scheduled; one-year SITRAIN access e-learning subscription ₹21,500 |
The IDEMI figure comes from a third-party listing, not IDEMI's own page, which is why it says "confirm with IDEMI". The Rockwell course is Rockwell's own Allen-Bradley training; it says nothing about what a Siemens course costs.
PLC SCADA course fees at private institutes in Bangalore
Private institutes in Bangalore rarely publish a fixed fee, and quotes change with the batch, the number of brands, the hours on hardware and any placement terms. That is why this page does not print a "typical private fee" band: we could not source one honestly. Ask every institute for a written quote, including GST, and compare it against the published figures above.
What drives a PLC course fee
What you are paying for | Why it costs more | What to ask |
|---|---|---|
Duration and total hours | Trainer time and lab time | "How many hours in total, and how many on hardware?" |
Hours on physical hardware | Panels, PLCs and drives wear out and need trainers beside them | "How many students share one panel?" |
Number of PLC brands | Each brand needs its own software licences and hardware | "Which brands are taught in depth, and which are only shown?" |
Batch size | Smaller batches need more trainers | "How many students were in the last batch?" |
Certificate | Someone has to issue and verify it | "Can an employer check it online?" |
Placement terms | Staff who run interviews and employer contact | "Can I read the written terms before I pay?" |
The column that matters most is the second one. A course with more hours on physical panels is usually worth more than a course with more brands on the brochure.
Hidden costs to budget for
- GST. Training services carry 18% GST. A quote "plus GST" is 18% higher than the number on the brochure.
- Registration and assessment fees. CTTC adds ₹1,000 registration and assessment fees on longer courses; NSTI adds ₹100 registration.
- Accommodation and food if you move to Bangalore. Rents near Electronic City vary widely by sharing and facilities; EDWartens admissions can share a list of PGs near the centre.
- A laptop able to run TIA Portal or Studio 5000, if the course expects you to practise at home.
- Travel to the institute and, later, to interviews in industrial areas.
Why EDWartens does not publish one AEP fee
EDWartens does not publish one AEP fee; the fee is agreed with each candidate after counselling and can be paid in 3, 6, 9 or 12 instalments. The Automation Engineer Program runs 3 to 12 months depending on the phases a candidate completes, so one number would be wrong for most people. See how EDWartens decides the AEP fee, with what the fee includes and how instalments work.
The AEP carries a written job guarantee with conditions (all phases completed, at least 90% attendance, assessments passed, at least 10 arranged interviews attended, at least 5 applications a week, no more than 3 valid offers rejected); if a candidate who meets them is not placed within nine months of completing, the programme fee is refunded. Full terms are in the placement policy.
What the course is likely to pay back
Market data, not EDWartens placement figures. AmbitionBox, read 5 October 2026:
PLC programmer | Average | 0 to 1 year | Salaries reported |
|---|---|---|---|
₹4.8 lakh a year | ₹3.1 lakh a year | 198 | |
₹4.5 lakh a year | ₹2.6 to 2.9 lakh a year | about 2,500 |
Use these to judge whether a fee makes sense for you. A first job pays near the 0 to 1 year figure; the average includes engineers with several years on site. More detail is in PLC programmer salary in India.
Before you pay anyone
- Get the fee in writing, with GST shown.
- Ask for the total hours and the hours on physical hardware.
- Ask what comes back if you leave in the first weeks, and read that clause yourself.
- If placement terms are offered, read them before paying: what to check in a job guarantee with conditions.
- Ask to speak to two recent students.
