Electronics & Communication Engineering (VLSI Design)

MTech Electronics and Communication Engineering with specialization in VLSI Design program aims at preparing students to develop knowledge and skills  in VLSI design methodology with a system perspective in order to facilitate the use of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) tools for the analysis and design of special-purpose digital and analog circuits and systems.

The program provides capabilities to students to understand the requirements of EDA development, analog and mixed signal design, semiconductor chip design, IC design and verification, design and implementation of integrated circuits using standard tools that make them industry-ready.

The two-year postgraduate M.Tech Electronics and Communication Engineering program is offered at Sharda Group that covers the fundamental and engineering aspects of designing and developing several IC-based systems. VLSI technology has emerged out as a successful accumulation of two streams including material science and electrical engineering. The program will focus on developing hands-on skills of designing semiconductor devices and circuits, and architecting systems using embedded components like CPU, memory and other peripherals.

Program Structure : The curriculum for M.Tech Electronics and Communication engineering with specialization in VLSI Design is aimed at VLSI system design covering algorithms, system architectures, physical designs, simulation and synthesis and design techniques and mixed mode design methodologies. The program also offers strong knowledge in embedded systems design covering areas such as advanced embedded system design, real time embedded systems, advanced embedded microcontrollers and systems on chip.

Several core and elective courses are offered to the students.  Sharda Group have state-of-art laboratories and highly qualified faculty with expertise in these areas. During the program, students will also get an opportunity to participate in projects related to the designing of low power VLSI systems, optimization of digital circuits and other flexible electronics.
