"Microelectronics and VLSI industry is driving the digital revolution by providing the required resources. It employs a large number of trained engineers.

The eligibility for the programme includes a minimum of two year experience in the VLSI or an allied industry. Applicants must have a CGPA of 6 and above and a BTech in Electronics and Instrumentation or Electrical Engineering or Electronics and Communication Engineering, or MSc in Physics or Electronics.

Candidates will be selected for the programme based on an online interview.

Prof Sudeb Dasgupta, head of the Electronics and Communication Engineering department said the new programme will upskill industry professionals, help them grow in their careers, and promote industry-academia collaboration.

“The rigour and the depth of the courses covered will be the same as a regular campus MTech programme" Prof Dasgupta added.

The fee for the course is RS 6 lakh along with an admission fee of RS 50,000.

The programme will have the provision of flexible credits, which will help industry professionals to achieve a good balance between work and education. The programme also seeks to prepare the candidates for the technical leadership role, the institute said.

The lectures will be delivered by the faculty members of IIT Roorkee.
