October 2026 Applications are open for the October 2026 VLSI design cohort Apply Now

1-Week Digital Design

You’ll be able to: Explain the semiconductor industry and the full ASIC & custom-IC flow; tell digital and analog design paths apart; read a chip spec.

Eligibility

Who Can Apply?

Any currently enrolled university student — 1st year to final year
No prior VLSI experience required
Degree in, or current enrolment in:
Electrical & Electronic (EEE)
Electronics & Communication (ECE)
Electronics & Telecommunication (ETE)
Computer Science & Engineering (CSE)
Other related disciplines
Assumed knowledge:
Basic digital logic — gates and flip-flops
Refreshed on day one, so a rusty memory is fine

Eligibility is advisory, not a gate. Enrolment is open — if you meet the knowledge bar for a course, you are welcome in it whatever year you are in.

Screening Process

Step 1: Mini-Exam
