VLSI, along with embedded software development and hardware/board design, is at the heart of the chip design industry. With the global semiconductor industry projected to become a trillion-dollar industry by 2030, there is a need to design and produce highly efficient and specialised chips.
The PG Level Advanced Certification course in VLSI Chip Design enables professionals to build VLSI chip designing capabilities that can power new-age technologies like AI, IoT, VR, Mobility, Cloud, and Analytics.
The Department of Electronic Systems Engineering, IISc, with its pioneering and ongoing research and training in VLSI chip design, is best positioned to offer this programme. The programme is ideal for VLSI industry professionals who want to leverage expertise of modern tools and technologies.
The 9-month course is delivered in a unique experiential learning process of interactive online sessions by IISc, starting from essential theoretical foundations to learning how to apply them in the real world effectively. This is accompanied by laboratory exercises using VLSI tools and boards, mentor support, case studies, and campus visits to ensure fast-track learning.
