SIT Bhubaneswar B.Tech Electronics Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Yes, the B.Tech Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design and Technology) program is a newly introduced program at Silicon University, starting from the 2025-26 batch. As per the 2025-26 admission brochure, the program was awaiting AICTE approval at that time. Students should verify the current AICTE approval status directly with Silicon University before applying for the 2026-27 batch. The 2026-27 brochure lists the program as an active offering with 60 seats.

Ans. The B.Tech VLSI Design and Technology program is exclusively focused on chip design, semiconductor physics, Verilog HDL, CAD tools, device simulation, and semiconductor fabrication. Unlike ECE (which covers communication, signal processing, and electronics broadly) or EIE (which focuses on instrumentation and automation), VLSI is a deep-dive into the semiconductor and chip design domain. Graduates are specifically targeted for roles in semiconductor companies like Intel, Micron, Synopsys, and DRDO/ISRO, rather than general electronics or IT roles.

Ans. Graduates can work as Circuit Design Engineers, Digital Verification Engineers, Physical Design Engineers, Process Design Kit Engineers, Custom Layout Design Engineers, Process Engineers, and EDA Tool Engineers. Top recruiters include Intel, Micron, STMicroelectronics, Synopsys, Texas Instruments, Marquee Semiconductor, and government organizations like DRDO and ISRO. With India's semiconductor industry growing rapidly under the India Semiconductor Mission, VLSI graduates are in high demand.

Ans. The fee is Rs. 1,20,000 per semester for all B.Tech programs at Silicon University, including VLSI Design and Technology. Over 8 semesters (4 years), the total tuition fee is Rs. 9,60,000. A one-time non-refundable admission fee of Rs. 20,000 is payable at the time of joining, making the total program cost Rs. 9,80,000 (excluding hostel). A 5% rebate is available if fees are paid annually at the beginning of the academic session.

Ans. Yes, Silicon University offers merit-based scholarships for B.Tech students based on JEE Main CRL rank. Students with a JEE Main CRL rank below 25,000 and minimum 70% in Class 10 and 12 can get Rs. 75,000 per semester scholarship. Students with rank between 25,001-50,000 get Rs. 50,000 per semester, and those with rank between 50,001-75,000 get Rs. 25,000 per semester. Continuation requires maintaining CGPA of 8.5 or above with 80% attendance and no disciplinary cases.

Ans. The program covers industry-standard EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools and methodologies used in VLSI design. Core technical areas include Verilog HDL for digital design, CMOS circuit design, semiconductor device physics, analog and digital circuit design, CAD tools for chip layout, device simulation, semiconductor fabrication processes, and packaging. Advanced topics include AI-driven chip design, low-power computing, and system architecture. The program emphasizes hands-on practice through projects, internships, and research aligned with emerging industry trends.
