Overview

The B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) with a specialization in VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integration) is a four-year undergraduate program designed to provide students with a strong foundation in core electronics and communication engineering concepts, along with in-depth expertise in VLSI design, fabrication, and semiconductortechnology. The curriculum is carefully structured to bridge fundamental theory with hands-on practical experience, ensuring students are well-prepared for the rapidly evolving electronics and semiconductor industry.

The program covers essential topics such as analog and digital electronics, signals and systems, communication systems, microprocessors and microcontrollers, embedded systems, and control systems, while offering specialized courses in VLSI design, CMOS technology,digital IC design, ASIC and FPGA design, system-on-chip (SoC), low-power VLSI, and semiconductor device modeling. Students gain practical exposure through well-equipped
laboratories, industry-standard EDA tools, simulation platforms, mini-projects, and capstone design projects.

To enhance industry readiness, the program emphasizes design-oriented learning, problem- solving skills, and innovation. Students are encouraged to participate in internships, industry- sponsored projects, workshops, and certification programs aligned with current industry practices. The curriculum also integrates emerging trends such as nanotechnology, AI- assisted chip design, Internet of Things (IoT) hardware, and hardware security.

Graduates of this program are equipped with the technical competence and professional skills required to pursue careers in semiconductor manufacturing, VLSI design, embedded systems, telecommunications, and electronics product development. The program also provides a strong foundation for higher studies and research in VLSI, microelectronics, and related domains. With a focus on academic excellence, industry relevance, and ethical engineering practices, the B.Tech ECE (VLSI) program aims to develop skilled engineers capable of contributing to technological advancement and innovation at a global level.

International Endowed Chair Professor

Prof Rakesh Kumar

Prof Rakesh Kumar is the Founder and President of the Breast Cancer in Young Women Foundation (USA), dedicated to vaddressing the distinct issues affecting young women with breast cancer. He also serves as the International Endowed Chair Professor at the Cancer Research Institute of the Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences. Additionally, he holds adjunct professorships at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School and Virginia Commonwealth University.

Dr Kumar earned his Ph.D. from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in 1984 and began his research career at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in January 1986. From 1988 to 2017, he held various academic and leadership positions —including faculty member, tenured professor, distinguished professor, endowed chair, department chair, and research leader—at esteemed institutions such as Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. From 2017 to 2022, he served as the National Chair for Cancer Research for the Government of India and as a distinguished professor, continuing his innovative work in breast cancer research.

With nearly 40 years of research and professional experience, Dr. Kumar has made conceptual contributions to the field of cancer research (h-index 108, citations >50,000). He has authored over 325 peer-reviewed publications, edited or co-edited nine books, and delivered 290 invited lectures worldwide. His work has been featured on the covers of 18 major cancer journals and has been highlighted in institutional research reports of the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

A passionate educator and mentor, Dr. Kumar has guided 67 trainees throughout his career. He serves on the editorial boards of multiple leading cancer journals and has served on the editorial boards of 21 top cancer journals. His global reputation is further demonstrated by his participation in about 100 peer-review panels for cancer research funding in the US and internationally over the past 28 years.

Dr. Kumar's innovative research has earned him numerous prestigious honors, including the Hinkle Society Faculty Award at Penn State University (1994), the Dalla/Fort Worth Living Legend Faculty Achievement Award in Basic Sciences (2004), the Ranbaxy Research Award (2006), and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Association of Indian Scientists in Cancer Research (2013), among others. Dr. Kumar's pioneering research continues to have a profound influence on the fields of oncology and breast cancer, opening up new opportunities for biomedical scientists and trainees worldwide.
