You don't just learn VLSI DESIGN AND FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION. You ship it.
Three major projects, each mirroring how production teams actually work — from guided foundations to a portfolio-ready capstone.
Guided Foundation Project
→Requirement Analysis
→Guided Implementation
→Mentor Review
→Iteration
Apply the fundamentals in a structured, mentor-reviewed project
Take the core concepts from the first half of the curriculum and apply them to a realistic scenario, with guidance and feedback from your mentor at every step.
Applied Practice Project
→Scenario Design
→Independent Build
→Testing & Validation
→Peer Review
Build a more independent project mirroring real production scenarios
Work through a project that combines multiple concepts from the curriculum, closer to how work is actually structured on the job — less hand-holding, more ownership.
Capstone Project
→Planning
→End-to-End Build
→Review & Refinement
→Presentation
Take a project from requirements to a polished, portfolio-ready deliverable
Your final project — plan, build, test and present a complete solution using everything covered in the curriculum, reviewed by mentors before you graduate.
All 3 projects go directly into your portfolio & resume — reviewed by mentors before you graduate.
