Questions
Which syllabus does the VLSI Design course follow?
It follows the BTEUP (Board of Technical Education, Uttar Pradesh) diploma syllabus for VLSI Design (Electronics Engineering, Semester 6). If your own board's or institute's syllabus differs, the centre follows your own syllabus.
Will this help in the semester examination?
Yes. Teaching is unit-wise as per the BTEUP scheme, with previous-year question practice, MCQ tests and doubt sessions before the semester exam.
Which software is used for Verilog?
Free simulators such as Icarus Verilog / EDA Playground, and Xilinx Vivado or Intel Quartus for FPGA flow where available.
