Arthi, I can answer as much as I know. That's not my background but I have used the services of people who use these software for PCB design. Until as late as 4 months back, Orcad and PSpice were used extensively in India for PCB design. Top academic institutions in India also use these software for their projects. As for courses, I think IIT Mumbai must offer part time courses through their electronics dept. If you don't mind traveling to Bangalore, CEDT at IISc (www.cedt.iisc.ernet.in) regularly offers short term courses in electronics design, through the continuing education cell. Of course, there are plenty of private institutions too that offer these courses. The most famous in Bangalore seems to be the Indian Institute of Hardware Technology (IIHT, they call themselves) near Sankey Tank in Bangalore. But I can't vouch for the quality of private institutions.

A related question: Are there any good PCB manufacturers in India exporting to other countries?

Arthi: Without knowing your educational/technical background it will be difficult for people to advise. In the US PCB design is taught in two year colleges or vocational schools attended by people who are looking for a job as a technician. You can get course material and a design kit from some institutes. Some people do it as a hobby for their own needs. Try searching for
'printed circuit board design course'. If you are degree holder this may not be for you unless you are planning to start your own company and want hands-on experience.
