M.Tech in VLSI Design and Embedded Systems domain are considered to be the core areas of Electronics and Communication Engineering. The increasing growth rates in the Smartphone market, Consumer market, Automotives, Accelerator based server market and IoT could serve as an important source of opportunities and revenue for the IC-Design industry. Current growth in IC-Design (Semiconductors) can be attributed to the advancement in 4G/5G communication, Internet of Things (IoT), AI & ML and lower technology nodes like FINFETs. The advent of these technologies has opened numerous opportunities for the IC-Design industry. Due to 4G/5G technology, IoT’s expansion, AI & ML, FINFET based chip designs and Ultra Low Power design needs; IC-Design industry would require more people and high quality manpower to churn out new designs with optimized PPA (lesser Power, higher Performance and lesser Area). The aim of this programme is to develop professional engineers who are well versed with the fundamentals of VLSI and Embedded Systems who contribute to the growth of themselves, leading to the growth of the institution and hence the growth of the country.
Delivery of the curriculum is through a problem based and project-based approach. The students are provided with a 360-degree holistic education with an equal weightage being given to co-curricular and extra-curricular activities along with the necessary skill development required for engineering industry.
Highlights of the programme include,
• Curriculum has been designed as per industry requirements and vetted through involvement of industry experts and academic experts.
• The students will have mandatory internships and also mandatory industry-based student internships to understand the requirements of industry.
• Industry oriented curriculum towards providing opportunities to solve real time problems faced by industries.
• Application based teaching learning through case studies and frequent field visits.
