IIIT Delhi Floats B Tech Program In Electronics, VLSI Engineering

The Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Delhi has launched its first course in EE+X format BTech program - Electronics and VLSI Engineering (EVE) Electronics Engineering. The EE in EE+X stands for Electronics Engineering, and the 'X' stands for some other field of knowledge or technology that compliments electronics engineering. This is in addition to the existing Electronics and Communication Engineering program. The curriculum for the EVE program is prepared after deliberation with the industry and academicians. It will prepare a student to undertake careers in industry, pursue advanced studies for research careers, or undertake entrepreneurial activities involving innovation and problem-solving. The EVE curriculum maintains the right balance between the fixed set of VLSI-specific core courses and the flexibility of selecting elective courses based on one's interest and need. Students joining the EVE program will have to do just two extra mandatory courses than an ECE student and elective courses will be offered along five career paths in the VLSI industry and academia.
