VLSI Institutes in BENGALURU

 India's fabless Semiconductor industry is rapidly expanding with prominent Indian chips gaining global recognition. India is on the verge of manufacturing electronics components and chips, necessitating an influx of skilled engineers. currently, India faces a shortage of VLSI engineers.

The ultimate solution to address this employment gap is for engineering institutions to incorporate high quality VLSI education with hands-on projects into B.Tech and M.Tech programs. While IIT's and NITs excel, the overall VLSI education quality remains variable, with only a handful of private colleges offering comprehensive training. Consequently, students often turn to VLSI coaching institutes for practical experience. 

A recent LinkedIn salary study highlighted the Hardware Industry in India offering competitive salaries, and the demand for VLSI engineers is projected to surge in the upcoming years.
