OR

Bachelor of Science (Honours), 4-year duration, with a major in CS / IT / Electronics / Physics;

The aggregate marks in the qualifying degree should be minimum 60% or an equivalent cumulative grade point average (CGPA). Candidates appearing for the final semester/ final year may also apply.

Admissions Procedure

Admissions to the MTech in Semiconductor and VLSI Design can be taken via three alternate routes:

Category-A: For graduates from (a) a CFTI (Centrally Funded Technical Institution) under the Ministry of Education of the Govt. of India, viz., IITs, NITs, IISc, IIITs, and IISERs, and others) OR (b) Central University, OR (c) Ahmedabad University. The GATE score is not required. Admission will be on the basis of an Interview.

OR

Category-B: For graduates with a valid GATE score in any one of the GATE subjects of Computer Science and Information Technology / Electronics and Communication / Electrical / Instrumentation / Physics. Admission will be on the basis of an Interview.

OR

Category-C: For graduates from institutions/universities other than CFTIs (of Category A above) who do not have a valid GATE score, admission will be on the basis of a Written Test followed by an Interview. The written test will be conducted on campus by the School of Engineering and Applied Science. The written test will be of 2 hour duration, consisting of multiple choice and short questions.
