VLSI Technology is one of the most widely used technologies for microchip processors, integrated circuits (IC) and component designing. It was initially designed to support hundreds of thousands of transistor gates on a microchip.It may be defined as it is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip.These kind of technology serves you great knowledge with number of benefits in this ACTE training system.Start Learning with us ACTE VLSI Classroom and Online Training Course.

From a job-perspective, VLSI is the most future proof career for electronics and electrical engineers. Refer to the below article to understand the huge requirement of trained resources in the industry.There are lot of VLSI startup companies which are started just 5 to 10 years back and yielding very good. And it is expected that lot more startups will come in forth coming years
We are happy and proud to say that we have strong relationship with over 700+ small, mid-sized and MNCs. Many of these companies have openings for VLSI analyst. Moreover, we have a very active placement cell that provides 100% placement assistance to our students. The cell also contributes by training students in mock interviews and discussions even after the course completion.
VLSI is a great career option if you are from Electronics background and to be a part of this Industry requires strong command on basics as well as good hands on knowledge of latest skills.If you want to master digital electronics and Verilog , The VLSI DM course is the best choice. It starts with an overview of VLSI and explains VLSI technology, SoC design, Moores law and the difference between ASIC and FPGA. With this overview, it walks you through all the steps of complete VLSI Design flow and explains every step in detail. Then it covers the complete digital design, combinational, sequential and FSM designs. And finally it trains you extensively on Verilog HDL programming and makes you a hands-on RTL designer..
a class on logic design, spanning combinational and sequential logic
a class on analog electronic circuits; transistor-level circuit design
a programming class, to familiarize yourself with scripting and using UNIX
yes, you can, just by knowing digital design doesn’t make you a RTL engineer, you need to know coding as well especially Verilog, UVM concepts and much more
Our courseware is designed to give a hands-on approach to the students in VLSI. The course is made up of theoretical classes that teach the basics of each module followed by high-intensity practical sessions reflecting the current challenges and needs of the industry that will demand the students’ time and commitment.
Yes it is the perfect time.
- You must be acquainted with Analog Electronics (esp. MOSFETs, Opamps etc.) and Digital Electronics (Logic Gates, FlipFlops etc.) by now to start learning VLSI concepts.
- After completing the course you can have a choice to choose your career path. For example, if you like the subject then you can choose to build your career related to VLSI and if not there is still one more year with you to decide your career path.
- Given that you find it interesting, you will get your final year to study more about VLSI and do projects which will boost your resume.
To get a basic understanding of the entire flow it might take 4–5 months with some practical experience of running blocks through the flow and learning the basic tcl and make . (Again might vary from person to person ).
VLSI is one of the best options for electronics engineers who are looking for core job. VLSI offers diverse job profiles with excellent career growth and pay packages in India and abroad.
As this is highly specialized domain, it’s quite challenging for new college grads(especially for the ones from normal engineering colleges with no placement record in core areas). This is the reason many aspiring VLSI engineers either opt for Master’s degree in VLSI or any PG Diploma Course in VLSI so as to be VLSI industry ready.
VLSI Design In India: In Demand
Increased digitisation of products results in enhanced demand for electronics. Implementation of advanced technologies—such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) and so on—depends on the right design of the electronic systems, products and components
The Indian electronics system design space has gathered a lot of steam in the last few years. The semiconductor design market in India is expected to grow at around 25 per cent CAGR from US$ 9.9 billion in 2012 to US$ 60 billion in 2020. While the Indian electronics system design and manufacturing (ESDM) industry as a whole is import-dependent, to plug the huge demand gap and lags in manufacturing, design services are still its key strength and are majorly domestic. This area has potential that remains untapped.
Market at a glance
As opposed to the earlier trends where Indian design companies worked on bits and parts of the overall design, they are now being asked to provide end-to-end product development, right from concept design to development and prototype testing. This augurs well for companies that can provide complete product design services from start to finish.
Growing customer base and increasing penetration in the consumer segment have provided excellent scope for growth of Indian electronics design houses. Some recent government policies, such as Make in India and Digital India, have inspired confidence and are aiding this momentum.
Advanced product development focussing on miniaturisation, the IoT, automation, LED lighting, AI and defence applications is likely to be the biggest driver of growth of the electronics design market. In addition, there are a few emerging technologies still in their nascent stage, which could emerge as key areas of focus in the near future. These include the following:
- Next-generation wireless
- AI
- Silicon photonics
India has become the hub for electronics design with nearly 2000 chips being designed per year and around 500,000 engineers working in various aspects of electronic design, starting from chip design and verification to different stages of product design. Though still lagging behind chief competitors in the far east (that is, China and Taiwan), India has significant potential as it seeks to continually raise the bar, and increase the breadth and depth of its offerings.
Applications of VLSI Technology:
- DSP
- Communications
- Microwave and RF
- MEMS
- Cryptography
- Consumer Electronics
- Automobiles
- Robotics
- Health domain/Medical field.
Advantages of VLSI Technology
- Reduces the Size of Circuits.
- Reduces the effective cost of the devices.
- Increases the Operating speed of circuits
- Requires less power than Discrete components.
- Higher Reliability
- Occupies a relatively smaller area.
Is VLSI a good career?
VLSI field is highly technical and completely based on electronics engineering. Usually, only candidates with a background in electronics engineering can get into semiconductor industries because it requires a minimum of BE/BTech/BS in ECE/EEE as a necessary qualification. However, Computer Science/IT engineers can also try for some specific jobs, with good knowledge of digital fundamentals and software programming. It is a lucrative field that is automation-resistant.
