Course Details
- Level: Postgraduate (PG)
- Duration: 2 years
M.Tech (ECE) in VLSI and Embedded Systems is listed as a 2-year programme. Confirm the structure with the institute.
Eligibility
A B.Tech or B.E. degree in the relevant branch (or a related one) from a recognised institute with the marks set by the institute, and a valid GATE score where the institute requires it.
Admission
Admission is through GATE (with COAP for the IITs and IISc and CCMT for NITs and other institutes), or through institute and university tests and merit; sponsored and part-time routes exist at some institutes. Check each institute's notice.
Registration & Recognition
Engineers do not need a licence for most roles in India. Chartered Engineer status (Institution of Engineers, India) is optional, and government and PSU engineering posts follow their own recruitment rules (for example the Engineering Services Examination, and PSU recruitment through GATE). Check that the institute and programme have AICTE approval, and look at NBA accreditation of the branch.
