B.E. Electronics Engineering
(VLSI Design and Technology)

Curriculum
  • The VLSI Design and Technology program offers a comprehensive and innovative curriculum that blends core technical subjects, hands-on learning, and holistic development.
  • In the second year, students build a strong foundation with subjects like Maths for AV Communication, Analog Electronics, Physics of Semiconductor Devices, Analysis and Design of Digital Circuits, Network Theory, Control Systems, and Computer Organisation and Architecture. Practical learning is emphasised through courses such as the Digital Circuit Laboratory, Physics of Semiconductor laboratory, Analog Electronics laboratory, Verilog HDL Laboratory, and MATLAB-based Network theory laboratory.
  • In the third year, students study key courses like Technical Management, Embedded Systems, Signals and Systems, Scripting Language for VLSI (Python), and Digital VLSI Design. They can choose professional electives such as RTL to GDS design flow, MEMS, Low Power VLSI, VLSI Fabrication, and SoC Design. Practical exposure is provided through labs including Python scripting for VLSI, VLSI Digital Design, ARM-based Embedded Systems, and MATLAB-based Signals and Systems lab. The curriculum integrates technical depth with hands-on experience in cutting-edge VLSI technologies.
  • In the fourth year of the VLSI-specialised ECE program at MVJCE, students study System Verilog, Analog VLSI Design, and VLSI Physical Design as core courses. Electives include Advances in VLSI Design, Memory Devices, Nanoelectronic Devices, and Design for Testability. Lab sessions focus on System Verilog and Analog VLSI design. In the final semester, students enhance their skills through NPTEL/SWAYAM online courses and undertake a research internship for industry or academic exposure.
  • In the fifth semester, students begin their hands-on exploration with a Mini Project, which encourages practical problem-solving and innovative application of core concepts learned so far. In the sixth and seventh semesters, this journey continues with Project Phase–1 and Project Phase–2, allowing students to delve deeper into real-world engineering challenges, design solutions, and prepare comprehensive technical documentation under faculty guidance. This structured progression helps students build research aptitude, teamwork, and presentation skills crucial for industry and academia alike.

  • Students also engage in interdisciplinary and innovative activities through specialised courses like Ability Enhancement Courses, such as Idea Box, UAV Development, Robotics and Industrial Automation, IoT, Astronomy, Software Development, LabVIEW, CNC Programming, and FSIPD – Ideas to Product., Tomorrow’s Engineers, Tinkering Lab.
  • To nurture holistic development, the curriculum incorporates Social Connect and Responsibility, Universal Human Values, Biology for Engineers, Environmental Studies, Research Methodology and IPR, indian Knowledge System and co-curricular activities like NSS, Physical Education (Sports and Athletics), Yoga, and NCC. This diverse and dynamic program ensures students are well-equipped for academic, professional, and personal excellence.
  • To enhance employability skills and impart deep knowledge in emerging areas that are usually not covered in the Undergraduate Degree credit framework, AICTE has come up with the concept of a ‘Minor Degree’ in emerging areas.
  • A minor Degree will carry 18 to 20 credits in addition to the credits essential for obtaining the Undergraduate Degree in the Major Discipline (i.e. 160 credits for regular students and 120 credits for lateral entry students).
  • The Bachelor of Engineering /Bachelor of Technology (B.E./B. Tech.) with a Minor program focuses on the fundamental principles of multiple Engineering disciplines, criticaland analytical thinking, and the ability to develop a distinctive approach to interdisciplinary problems.
  • The key objective of a Minor Degree is to expand students’ knowledge in emerging interdisciplinary areas, enhancing their employability and academic versatility. It provides a mechanism to fulfil industry demands, foster entrepreneurship, and support higher studies in specialised fields.
