VLSI: With the hardware market booming with the rise demand in chip driven products in consumer electronics, medical electronics, communication, aero-space, computers etc. More and more chip designing companies have set up their units in India eying on the Indian talents; besides many of the Indian Major IT companies have forayed in ASIC design in a big way.
With the design & manufacturing market (both domestic & international) expanding rapidly, there is an enhanced demand of trained professionals who will boost the technical work force in this domain.
Our course on VLSI revolves mainly on ASIC, and the course layout is under final stage of completion. The admissions for the same will be done through an All India Entrance Test.
