About M.Tech VLSI Design
A knowledge based and practice oriented M.Tech Programme in VLSI Design for graduate engineers.
To address the growing demand for high quality trained manpower in the area of VLSI Design ,the VLSI & Embedded System Division of C-DAC Mohali is conducting a two-year full-time AICTE approved ,affiliated to Punjab Technical University ,Jalandhar.
The programme has been initiated in 2004 with support from Department of Information Technology(DIT), Ministry of Communication and Information technology Govt of India. The well-designed programme is two years full time and comprises of four intense semesters with the right mix of theory and practicals to comprehensively develop the required skill set in students associated with the Design of VLSI and applications in Embedded systems. The programme incorporates regular assignments with high quality Industry standard dissertation work. The laboratory is well equipped with adequate number of Industry standard VLSI Design Tools from Mentor graphics supported with FPGA, DSP and Microcontroller development tools and kits. The laboratory operations are for 24 hours and 7 days a week to provide a stimulating and high-end learning experience.
The first two semesters of the Programme each comprise of five theory and two laboratory subjects enabling the students to develop problem solving and analytical skills. From the third semester along with two theory subjects, the students are required to start their one-year thesis work be it the design of a Megacell implementation on FPGA or design of an Embedded System etc. In the third semester itself the students are required to finalize their topic of dissertation along with the detailed Engineering Specifications. They are also required to conduct experimentation on the implementation issues and complete the Abstract Design. In the fourth semester they are required to complete the Detailed Design and Implementation by way of working prototype. They are required to submit the same along with the results in the form of a comprehensive Thesis Report. The thesis work is carried out in C-DAC under Industry standard design practices, tools and documented guidelines.
At every stage in the programme, the students are closely monitored and continuously motivated to practice hard work and inculcate leadership and teamwork qualities. The program is conducted and monitored by highly qualified and motivated team of committed professionals with sole aim to produce the highest quality Industry ready manpower equipped to take up challenging assignments in Research and Industry in the areas of VLSI Design and their applications in Embedded Systems.
The students of last batches have found placements with prominent groups/Industries and institutions i.e Nvidia Graphics, HCL Technologies,Cadence Design Systems, Virage Logic, Samtel, Backend Solutions, Mando Softtech, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Hamirpur,Thapper institute of Engg & Technology,,Rai Foundation & Chitkara Groups etc with the highest annual package of Rs 6.7 Lacs followed by Rs 5.3 Lacs and Rs 4.2 Lacs per annum.
The programme has very limited seats and admissions to the same are conducted once a year in the month of July. We take this opportunity to welcome our prospective students and also wish our pass out students a very bright future in VLSI.
