Description
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bhubaneswar, in collaboration with MOSart Labs, has introduced a professional diploma programme in semiconductor technology and chip design for engineering graduates.
The course aims to upskill engineering graduates, making them industry-ready in a variety of very-large-scale integration (VLSI) specializations such as semiconductor technology, analog design, digital design, design verification, physical design, layout design, validation, test, and measurements, according to an institute statement released on November 6.
Very-large-scale integration is the process of building an integrated circuit from millions or billions of MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) transistors on a single chip.
On November 5, IIT Bhubaneswar and MOSart Labs, a commercial organisation that provides a platform for professional skill training, signed an MoU.
"IIT Bhubaneswar is committed to advancing high-impact education through strategic partnerships that bridge academic excellence with industry expertise," said Shreepad Karmalkar, Director of IIT Bhubaneswar.
He stated that the collaboration with MOSart Labs to develop this professional diploma program in semiconductor technology and chip design represents this aim.
"Through such initiatives, we aim to empower our students with industry-aligned skills, enabling them to contribute meaningfully with India's growing semiconductor ecosystem and beyond," he said.
The program's eminent faculty includes semiconductor industry professionals, IIT alumni, and IIT Bhubaneswar academics, according to program organizer Vijay Shankar Pasupureddi.
The course is primarily intended for students who have earned their engineering degrees in electronics and communication, electrical and computer science, as well as those who work in the industry, he explained.
The diploma programme was divided into three comprehensive units. It starts with the launchpad module, which gives students a comprehensive overview of the IC lifecycle and the VLSI industry landscape, as well as introductory VLSI lessons.
Following this module, students will undergo an entrance exam to qualify for the subsequent phases. Successful candidates will advance to the foundation module, a semester-long curriculum that includes five modules that teach the fundamentals of various aspects of chip design and technology.
The third is the specialisation module, which is a semester-long program in which students will take three courses and complete a small project in their selected field of specialisation.
According to the statement, this module allows students to focus on becoming industry-ready by working autonomously in their chosen sector.
"With the government and the industry working closely to build the semiconductor ecosystem in the country, it is bound to create several opportunities for VLSI engineers and hence we believe this is the right time to introduce this programme to help students across the country upskill themselves to be industry ready," said Krishna Kanth Avalur from MOSart Labs.
