M.Tech VLSI at NIT Goa Offline Course

Master of Technology in VLSI is a two-year full-time course offered at the National Institute of Technology Goa.

Semiconductor industry has been witnessing tremendous growth over the past few years with rising demand for electronic products. India has a well-developed semiconductor design industry with more than 120 design units. Various global semiconductor companies have established their design centres in the country with design revenues comparable with developed countries. India Semiconductor Association (ISA) estimated that semiconductor and electronics driven products will drive the US$ 400 billion to Indian electronics market by 2020. These advances demand for the skilled engineers. Productivity of the Workforce is the main challenge faced by the semiconductor industry. Companies still have to spend a huge amount of time/money in training fresh B.Tech graduates. The hiring trend for VLSI related jobs require a deeper level of expertise, preferably Masters and Ph. D in VLSI domain. Thus academic institutions like NIT GOA can play a key role in developing quality human resource through domain specific M.Tech and Ph. D programmes.

Important objectives of the VLSI programme are as follows:

• To provide hands-on design capabilities for Analog, Digital, and Mixed signal IC design in low power Nanometric Technology.
• To provide exposure in terms of Design, Model, Simulate and Implementation methodologies using EDA and TCAD Tools.
• To introduce with new emerging Technologies in VLSI/ULSI for ultra-low-power applications.

*2 seats are meant for the sponsored candidates.
