VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integration) Design is a major domain of Electronics and Communication Engineering that involves the process of designing an integrated chip (IC) by integrating millions of MOS (metal oxide semiconductors) onto a single chip. The growth of internet has led to the tremendous growth of Smartphones, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, embedded systems which has enhanced the importance of VLSI design in the current industry workforce. In addition the recent developments seen in artificial intelligence and machine learning has ensured that the growth of electronic gadgets shall continue over the years. Any electronic gadget requires the usage of integrated chips (IC) whose design is now very much in demand. This programme of Post Graduate Diploma in VLSI Design-Digital design and Architectures and Post Graduate Diploma in VLSI Design – Analog and Mixed Signal Circuit Design is aimed at providing the required skills with practical exposure to the engineers and working professionals that is needed in the digital design of VLSI systems so that they become better prepared and skilled to perform in the ever-changing technological world.
