Career Options

The Indian semiconductor industry, valued at $23.2 billion and projected to reach $80.3 billion by 2028, is growing at an impressive CAGR of 17.10%. This rapid expansion, driven by the increasing demand for semiconductors, opens a wide array of career opportunities for MTech graduates in VLSI Design. With India's robust education system and a population of over 1.4 billion, the country has the potential to become a major talent hub in the global semiconductor market, addressing the critical shortage of skilled professionals in the industry.

The government’s $10 billion investment through the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), including incentives for manufacturing and support for fabless startups through the Design Linked Incentive (DLI) scheme, further boosts the sector. Graduates in VLSI Design are well-positioned to work in roles such as IC design engineers, system architects, and R&D specialists.

Opportunities span both private and public sectors, with leading semiconductor firms, startups, and government-backed initiatives offering roles in research, chip design, and product development for domestic and international markets. This surge in investment and support ensures a thriving landscape for VLSI Design postgraduates to build successful careers in India's burgeoning semiconductor industry.

Graduates from this programme can pursue careers in various sectors such as:

  • Application Consultants
  • Field Application Engineers
  • Design Engineers
  • Software Development
  • Semiconductor Engineer
  • VLSI Engineer
  • Logic Library Expert
  • Associate Application Engineer
