The placement for IIT Roorkee’s VLSI is pretty positive as compared to IITG VLSI.
Yes, students from the Electrical, Electronics, and Instrumentation branch are eligible for VLSI at IIT Mandi. The first batch for VLSI began in 2016, and most of the students got placed in top semi-conductor industries, while others are research scholars in their respective areas. The paced students are at ST Microelectronics, Cadence, Synopsys, Intel, NXP, and so on. IIT Mandi is best for their placement support to the students and you can opt for IIT Mandi.
