This is an interdisciplinary graduate program that helps shaping the future leaders of VLSI industry. The program emphasizes on the interface between VLSI Design and Computer Engineering and focuses on the application of VLSI Design to Computer Systems Design and Development and also on the algorithmic approach to computer engineering as extended to the area of VLSI design. With recent and rapid upsurge in the area of hardware software codesign for the development of embedded systems, the course is designed to cater to the needs in producing engineers trained in both hardware and software areas bridging the gap between the two communities.

 

 

1. To develop engineers trained in both hardware and software ready to develop embedded systems including hardware-software codesign

 

2. To disseminate VLSI design in an approach of encompassing within its folds both the high level algorithmic details and low level circuit details

 

 

The student gets the advantage of being trained in software/hardware interfacing aspects along with complete knowledge of VLSI Circuits and Layouts preparing them for Industries and Academia.

* Compulsory elective for both streams

 

 

 

 

A student should take the basic courses in both the stream areas and at least one advanced course in 2 stream areas to qualify for the Masters.

 

 

 

If a student wants to specialize in VLSI Stream, then 6 electives should be taken as follows:

 

1. Three electives from VLSI Stream

2. One elective from CE stream

3. One elective can be taken from either of the VLSI or CE stream

4. One elective should be Computer Architecture course

 

A student has to do a 16 credit hour project under a faculty member in III & IV semesters. Students are expected to be here in Summer.

 

A student should complete the requirements with a minimum CGPA of 6.5 to receive the M.Tech. degree.

 

Full-time students: Minimum of 4 semesters and maximum of 6 semesters.

Part-time students: Minimum of 4 semesters and maximum of 8 semesters.

 

 

The student has to pay full-time post-graduate fees for the first 4 semesters of study. The fees will be pro-rated to the number of credits registered for thereafter according to the institute's policies.
