  • Option to meet in person to clarify doubts
  • Most of the time, reasoning for any institute to charge higher fee (excess of 1 lakh) is tool cost is high. It is not true.
  • VLSIGuru believes in creating an educational model that is affordable and sustainable in the long run. We have been running successfully since we started training in 2012 with 3500+ students trained so far. We take pride in the fact that, it is VLSIGuru which made other institutes also to offer courses in 30K to 50K range, otherwise it used to be much higher.
  • Institute owns the office facility, hence we avoid rental expense. Keeping it aside, we also find it difficult to comprehend why course fee should be in excess of 1 Lakh
  • Good understanding of VLSI Technology basics (CMOS, FinFET, etc)
  • Digital design concepts

Each session of the course is recorded; missed session videos will be shared.

  • Yes, you will have the option to view the recorded videos of the course for the sessions missed.
  • You will have the option to repeat the course any time in the next 1 year.

It's about taking a circuit design and determining its physical layout on a chip. This includes arranging components and their connections efficiently.

Important ideas are dividing the circuit (partitioning), placing components, connecting them (routing), and ensuring correct timing and power.

It's the process of converting a logical circuit description into a physical one that can be manufactured. Key aspects are placement and interconnection.

This course introduces the VLSI design flow and the role of physical design. It covers basic concepts like layout, placement, and routing.

In India, freshers in VLSI can typically expect an initial annual salary ranging from ₹3 lakhs to ₹8 lakhs or potentially more, depending on various factors.
