VLSI Design projects for B.Tech students — real examples

What students actually build

• Students undertake capstone projects and participate in hackathons including the Smart India Hackathon.
• VLSI capstone work typically produces a designed and verified digital block rather than only a paper study.

Labs and infrastructure

• The AICTE IDEA Lab provides GPU workstations that support EDA and simulation workloads, along with embedded hardware and 3D printing.
• Design and simulation practicals are run on institute-provided lab systems.

How VSET teaches VLSI Design

VLSI design is the engineering of integrated circuits containing very large numbers of transistors, spanning specification, RTL design, verification, synthesis and physical implementation. It is the core discipline behind modern chips. At VSET this maps to a dedicated B.Tech track — B.Tech Electronics (VLSI Design and Technology).

• VSET offers B.Tech Electronics (VLSI Design and Technology) as a dedicated four-year chip-design track, one of its seven GGSIPU-affiliated B.Tech programmes.
• The programme covers the electronics fundamentals — devices, digital electronics and circuit design — that VLSI depends on.
• Hardware description languages and design verification are central to the track rather than peripheral to it.
• The syllabus follows the GGSIPU B.Tech scheme with standardised credits and examinations.
• VIPS-TC, of which VSET is the engineering school, holds NAAC A++ accreditation at the institutional level.
