Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology) Manipal Academy of Higher Education

Overview

This four-year BTech programme in Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology) offered at Manipal Academy of Higher Education is intended to train engineering graduates in microelectronics devices, VLSI circuits, and systems, which is essential for the electronics chip design and manufacturing industry. 

Key facts

In addition to giving students practical experience with top EDA (Electronic Design and Automation) tools, the course aims to provide students with a thorough understanding of semiconductor devices, VLSI circuit design and verification, FPGA design, and the fabrication process.

The modernized era of electronic systems has led to the sophisticated design of semiconductor chips with reduced size and efficient components. The production and fabrication of such semiconductor chips have been a bottleneck for India due to a lack of trained workforce. The Government of India established India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) to close this gap and facilitate India's ascent to prominence as a global electronics design and manufacturing center.
