M.Tech VLSI at IIT Mandi Offline Course

The minimum and maximum duration of these programs are two and three years respectively. Each year consists of two semesters, summer and winter terms. The structure and details of the curriculum for these programs are given separately.

After undergoing this program, the student will acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in Electrical Engineering with specialization of VLSI and chip designing. The curriculum in supported with the advance learning courses of VLSI specialization in device level understanding, design, fabrication and tools. During M. Tech thesis, the students will use VLSI design, testing and fabrication laboratories. For a better insight of the specialization, the core laboratories for VLSI design and fabrication have been designed with considering experimental understanding of the Specialization Core courses. The laboratory experiments will build the basic concepts and the advanced concepts for chip designing. The VLSI laboratories will be the part of VLSI centre of IIT Mandi. Moreover, these VLSI laboratories will be further useful for undergraduate students of IIT Mandi, in advance learning of B. Tech with VLSI as minor area. The UG students will also use the VLSI centre facility to execute their major technical project. It is envisaged that adjunct faculty from industry such as SCL (Mohali). STMicroelectronics, Texas instruments, Analog Devices, NXP, Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor Graphics etc. will be engaged to provide industrial experience to M. Tech students. The proposed M. Tech course is with the vision of center for design and fabrication of electron devices (C4DFED) at IIT Mandi. This is also a part of the special man-power development project from system to chip design (SMDP-C2SD) under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). The MeitY will be funding for the designed chip as a part of the M. Tech thesis under the India Chip Program. This initiative to fulfill the goal of development of country in the vision and mission of make in India.
