The doors to knowledge can be opened by a guru and the quest for a right guru is even more difficult than the quest for knowledge itselves. Finding a true guru in this age may be difficult but not impossible. In these pages we list out a few institutes which provide training in the field of VLSI. We are not sure whether a true guru resides in these Institutes but a humble beggining in your quest for knowledge can start here. An advice before you start do as Vivekananda did, do not Invest your time and resources in an institute before testing it out throughly.
Some of the best Institutes offering a course in VLSI Design and allied fields are
IISc Bangalore
IIT
Bombay has a PG course in microelectronics the basic qualification
are a valid gate score in required discipline.
IIT
Chennai The department of Electrical engineering conducts a course
in Microprocessors,Digital Systems and Analogue Systems ,VLSI Design
IIT Kanpur
IIT Delhi (VLSI
Design Tools and Technology) conducts an interdisciplinary M. Tech
program the participating departments are Dept. of Computer Science and
Engg, Dept. of Electrical Engg, Centre for Applied Research in Electronics
IIT Kharagpur
Dept of Electronics & Electrical Communication EngineeringConducts
a post graduate course in VLSI
IIT
Guwahati Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering
This departments lists work in VLSI, Digital Design, Mixed Signal processing
etc. as its major focus areas
The Department of Electronics (DoE), Government of India, has launched a major nation-wide programme to raise the institutional capability for the development of
special manpower in the area of VLSI design and related software. The idea here is to develop manpower and teaching abilities at various institutes in the country using
the expertise available in places like the IITs and IISc. To this extent, seven resource centres (Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur and Madras IITs, IISc and CEERI
Pilani) were identified by the DoE which could be entrusted with the responsibility to develop special programmes, manpower, course work, etc. to be used by other
participating institutes. Twelve participating institutes are identified for this purpose.
Resource Centres are expected to provide technical and monitoring support
to the participating institutes such as planning for setting up laboratories
and other
infrastructural facilities.
The main objectives of this project are to create course work for the
M.Tech./M.E./B.Tech./B.E. level at various participating institutes, train
their faculty and help
them in establishing formal and informal links with industry in the
area of VLSI design.
The Institutes covered under this project are
1.(North) Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET), Patiala.
2.(North) Roorkee University, Roorkee.
3.(North) BHU-Institute of Technology (BHU-IT), Varanasi.
4.(East) Bengal Engineering College (BEC), Howrah.
5.(East) Jadhavpur University, Jadhavpur.
6.(East) REC, Rourkela.
7.(South) REC, Warangal.
8.(South) PSG College of Engineering, Coimbatore.
9.(South) KREC, Suratkal.
10.(West) VRCE, Nagpur.
11.(West) GSITS, Indore.
12.(West) Malaviya REC, Jaipur.
Other than these quite a few universitites conduct courses in VLSI and related fields at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. viz
1. Department of Electronic
Science, University of Pune. (PG Course).
2. BITS Pilani Offers M.E. in Microelectronics (in collaboration with
CEERI(Central Electronic Engineering Research Institute), Pilani) the faculty
are mostly form CEERI;
3. The Electronics and Communication Engineering Department Regional
Engineering College, Tiruchirappalli Conducts an Mtech course in VLSI
Design
4. Manipal centre for Information Science offers a MS VLSI CAD in tie
up with Synopsys Inc(details).
5. M-Tech Course in microelectronics is conducted at Panjab University,Chandigarh
in collaboration with Semiconductor Complex Ltd,Mohali and CSIO Chd. (Details)
