The program covers the complete life of a chip — semiconductor materials and physics, chip design (VLSI), fabrication, packaging and testing — with hands-on training in cleanroom labs and industry-standard design tools.
Yes. Through the India Semiconductor Mission, India is investing in chip fabs, packaging units and design companies, creating strong and growing demand for trained semiconductor engineers.
Students who enjoy physics, mathematics and electronics, and want to build the hardware that powers phones, computers, cars and AI, will find this program a great fit.
Students need a minimum of 50% in Class XII (ISC / CBSE / State Boards) with Mathematics and Physics, or equivalent A-Level or IB qualifications. See the eligibility section above for details.
Admission is through the uGDX Challenge followed by a personal interview. Complete the online application form to get started.
Core subjects include semiconductor physics and devices, materials science, VLSI design, fabrication processes, analog and mixed-signal circuits, packaging, testing, reliability and compound semiconductors.
Students learn how AI and data analytics are used to improve manufacturing yield, detect defects and speed up chip design, through a dedicated course and hands-on projects with Python.
Yes. The program includes three cleanroom lab courses, an electronics and device characterisation lab, and hands-on EDA tool training for chip design.
In Year 4, students choose one of three tracks: VLSI & Chip Design, Fabrication & Manufacturing, or Compound Semiconductors.
Yes. Students complete a summer internship in Year 3 and a research internship or lab rotation in Year 4, followed by a capstone project or research thesis.
Graduates can work as VLSI Design Engineers, Verification Engineers, Process Engineers, Yield Engineers, Packaging Engineers, Test Engineers and Power Electronics Engineers, or start their own hardware ventures.
Chips power almost every modern technology, from smartphones and EVs to AI and defence. As India builds its own semiconductor ecosystem, skilled engineers will be needed across design, manufacturing and packaging.
Yes. The ATLAS career services team supports students with internships, industry connections and placement opportunities across the semiconductor and electronics ecosystem.
The campus is located at Equinox Business Park, Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), Kurla West, Mumbai, with modern classrooms, labs and collaborative learning spaces.
It is a 4-year, full-time program spread across 8 semesters.
