M Tech In VLSI Design Course

The department of Electronics and Communication Engineering is offering the Master's degree in VLSI Design from session 2008-09, with an intake of 18 students. The duration of the M.Tech program is of two years of four semesters with first and second semesters are entirely coursework oriented whereas third and fourth semester involves seminar and Dissertation work. Most of the student of Electronics Engineering are exposed to Integrated Circuits at a very basic level, involving SSI circuits like logic gates or MSI circuit like Multiplexer, parity encoder etc. But there is a lot bigger world out there involving miniaturization at levels so great, that a micrometer and a microsecond are literally considered huge! This is the world of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration). The aim of the course is trying to introduce the possibilities and the work involved in this field.
