Hi

This is a final reminder — registrations for the last 3 cohorts of the NASSCOM–VSD Digital VLSI SoC Design and Physical Design Program will close in 12 hours.

These aren’t just any cohorts. They mark a critical transition point in how VLSI engineers are being trained for real-world project readiness.

Each cohort is fully lab-driven and follows a timeline-based execution model. Students aren’t just consuming videos — they’re debugging DRCs, closing timing paths, generating LEF files, placing custom standard cells, running LVS, and dealing with real limitations found in the Sky130 PDK. It's the exact flow followed in industry-level tapeouts.

So, why are these final 3 cohorts so important?

Because we’re aligning them directly with recruiter feedback, internship pipelines, and project-based evaluation. Recruiters are actively using performance from these cohorts to identify candidates for backend roles and R&D internships. More importantly, these 3 batches will be tracked closely for transition into more advanced RISC-V and SoC tapeout projects, with early access to tools, breakout tracks in mixed-signal, and contributor-level visibility in open-source platforms.

If you're someone who wants to learn what backend engineers actually do, build real portfolios, and earn a certificate that reflects actual performance, this is your last chance to be part of that wave — while learning with engineers from across India and beyond.
