IIT Jammu M.Tech in VLSI Design

IIT​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Jammu’s Executive M.Tech in VLSI Design is a post-graduate-level program made to give deep knowledge of chip design technologies and semiconductors to working professionals who want to study. The program has been designed to facilitate students to acquire solid theoretical knowledge as well as practical skills in VLSI design, verification, and intelligent systems, since the semiconductor ecosystem is progressively developing in India. The program, which has a regular M.Tech structure but is available in the executive mode, allows students to get a formal M.Tech degree from IIT Jammu without the need to take a break from their jobs. The course suits engineers and tech professionals who would like to either build a career in VLSI, semiconductors, or hardware and tech-centric roles or make a transition to these areas.

The course syllabus of the Executive M.Tech in VLSI Design covers CMOS digital and analog integrated circuit design, VLSI technology, solid-state devices, ASIC design flow, etc. In addition, students get to choose one or more electives such as low-power circuits, mixed-signal circuit design, automotive VLSI, systems, reliability of VLSI circuits, etc. The program is highly committed to experiential learning in labs through industry-standard EDA tools such as Synopsys, Cadence, and Vivado, along with capstone projects and dissertation under the guidance of the IIT Jammu faculty. These things ensure both the theoretical and practical aspects are addressed.

IIT Jammu, the place where the program is offered, is the new face of the engineering future of India. The delivery of the program is in a flexible hybrid style with live online weekend classes, self-paced components, expert-led masterclasses, and two immersive on-campus visits annually at IIT Jammu. Students get the chance of close mentorship with seasoned faculty, exposure to real-life industry problems, and the opportunity to participate in research-centric activities. After finishing the program, the students become technically highly competent in areas such as RTL design, verification, as well as ASIC and physical design, and semiconductor systems. They also become alumni of IIT Jammu and get access to a strong academic and professional network, which basically makes them able to grow sustainably in the VLSI and semiconductor sector that keeps on changing.
