TalentSprint, a global edtech company and market leader in transformative deep tech programmes, and the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have strengthened their two-year partnership with the launch of the PG Level Advanced Certification programme in Micro and Nanoelectronics. The semiconductor industry must prepare the next generation of semiconductor professionals for massive industry growth.
India is on track to become the world's second largest market in terms of scale and growing demand for semiconductor components across a variety of industries and applications. The semiconductor market will grow by 70% over the next ten years, driven by the automotive, data storage, and wireless industries. The semiconductor market is expected to be a trillion-dollar industry by 2030 (it is currently worth more than $500 billion).
This PG level Advanced Certification Programme on Micro and Nanoelectronics has been carefully designed to meet the growing demand for semiconductor/VLSI professionals or professionals with deeper semiconductor knowledge to interface with any electronics industry. MSDLab, Department of Electronics Systems Engineering (DESE) at IISc Bangalore, designed the well-researched curriculum.
It provides professionals with industry-oriented training curated by world-renowned Semiconductor and Nanoelectronics experts with extensive industrial research experience. DESE is also known for its M-Tech in Microelectronics and VLSI Design programme, which is the most popular among Indian engineering graduates and GATE toppers.
The programme instructors are a group of leading MSDLab researchers and experts led by Professor Mayank Shrivastava, who has 50 patents, 25 national and international awards, and 200 research publications to his name. This group also has extensive industry experience and works with over five leading semiconductor industries at any given time.
Speaking about the programme, Professor Mayank Shrivastava, Programme Director, Indian Institute of Science (IISc) said, “The field of Micro and Nanoelectronics is the enabler of next-generation semiconductor technologies which is the heart of today’s faster, sleeker, light weight and energy efficient systems. This is also the backbone of upcoming neuromorphic and quantum technologies"
"Keeping the immense potential of this ever-growing field in mind, this is the right time for professionals to gain a deep insight into designing, modeling, characterizing, and developing semiconductor technology and tap into the promising opportunities that this sector offers. Soon the semiconductor sector will be a trillion-dollar industry and one must not miss this opportunity”, he added.
Dr Santanu Paul, CEO and MD of TalentSprint, said, “IISc has established state-of-the-art laboratories for Nanoelectronics research. This field has immense potential to revolutionize the way electronic devices are made, leading to faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient devices. We are confident that this programme under the guidance and mentorship of renowned IISc faculty will create outliers for the semiconductor industry.”
The state-of-the-art curriculum, designed by an eminent IISc Faculty, will help participants gain industry-oriented insights and knowledge into every aspect of semiconductor technology, VLSI design basics and micro and nanoelectronics, to help them grow in this field. This programme will also help professionals and young engineers in the peripheral fields, design industry to interface better with the semiconductor professionals.
