M.TECH IN VLSI DESIGN

The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering offers master’s degree in VLSI Design from session 2008-09. The duration of M.Tech program is of two years divided into four semesters with first and second semesters being entirely coursework-oriented whereas third and fourth semesters involve seminars and dissertation work.

Most of the students 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 much bigger world out there involving miniaturization at levels so great, that a micrometre and a microsecond are literally considered huge. This is the world of VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integration). The aim of the course is to try to introduce the possibilities and the works involved in this field.

VLSI design has been a subject of interest in recent years as evident from the surge of related activities in the Engineering and Research Community. At NIET, we have state-of-the-art laboratories to impart the best training to postgraduate students in VLSI technology. The students are encouraged to take part in research activities sponsored by various government organizations carried out at NIET.
