Registration for IIT Hyderabad’s VLSI Chip Design course will close on September 30. The 45-hour course will run from October 8 to November 29, covering analogue chip design, digital IC design, practical projects, and assessments.
The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Hyderabad, through its Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) and in collaboration with TCS iON, has announced an online certification programme in "VLSI Chip Design." The programme aims to bridge the skill gap in the Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) sector of the electronics and semiconductor industries.
The VLSI Chip Design certification programme will run for 45 hours and will begin on October 8, 2025. The registration for the programme is ongoing, and the last date to enrol is September 30, 2025. As per the institute, the programme will be conducted online in English, with live and hands-on sessions.
“The programme is meticulously designed to provide in-depth knowledge of Analogue Chip Design and Digital IC Design. The program is led by esteemed IITH faculty members: Ashudeb Dutta (EE), CH Gajendranath Chaudhury (EE), Abhishek Kumar (EE), Rajesh Kedia (CSE), and Kapil Jainwal (EE),” the institute said.
The programme will also include a practical component called the IITH Bootcamp for hands-on learning in core areas of analogue chip design and digital IC design. As per the institute, participants will work with licensed EDA tools such as Cadence and LTSpice.
The bootcamp will cover skills in designing, simulating, and verifying digital circuits, analogue design practices including current mirrors, OP-Amps, and voltage references, and end-to-end VLSI chip design. “Bootcamp at IIT Hyderabad is optional for hands-on practice. This will not impact the scores and final certificate,” the institute said.
The programme will continue till November 29, 2025. Throughout the programme, participants will complete quizzes designed to assess their understanding and progress. Certificates will be awarded to learners based on their overall performance in these assessments.
The director of IIT Hyderabad, BS Murty, said, "At IIT Hyderabad, we are committed to bridging the gap between academic learning and industry demands. The launch of this VLSI Chip Design certification program, in collaboration with TCS iON, is a step towards empowering professionals with the skills required to thrive in the fast-evolving semiconductor and electronics sectors."
