M.Tech. in Microelectronics and VLSI Design 

at Faculty of Science, Kurukshetra

No, CUET syllabus is not based on CBSE syllabus as claimed by Education Ministry in Rajya Sabha. The CUET exam is designed to assess the general understandig of the candidate in subjects he/she has opted for. CUET UG is on of the biggest UG entrance exam carnival conducted for admission in cebtral, state, private and deemed universities.

Candidates preparing for CUET UG exam must check the detailed CUET syllabus and CUET question paper to become familiar with the important topics and type of questions asked in the exam. 

MTech Microelectronics graduates in India receive average starting salaries ranging from INR 5 lakhs to INR 8 lakhs per year. Experience and expertise will earn you multi-fold increase in salary.

There are good job prospects in various sectors: Consumer electronics design, Communication tech (5G, IoT), Automotive electronics, Healthcare technology, Research & development, etc.

Microelectronics recruiters are as follows:

• Multinational corporations like Intel, Texas Instruments, and Nvidia.
• Public sector undertakings like Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL) and Semiconductor Complex Limited (SCL).
• Indian IT giants like Infosys, Wipro, and Tata Consultancy Services.

Better career options:

Application engineer-Technical support and specialisation with microelectronics for customers

Design engineer- Chip or integrated circuit designing
Product engineer- Develops and manages the complete life cycle of microelectronics products from development to delivery.

Process development engineer-Developing manufacturing processes to optimize the production of microchips.
Research scientist- Conducts research to develop new microelectronic technologies for further applications.

Between M.E. in VLSI and M.Tech in Microelectronics, you need to decide depending upon the goal and priority. Here is the comparison:

Based on placements scenario, ME in VLSI would most probably gain an advantage due to its continuous focus on the high demand VLSI sector. However, MTech in Microelectronics will offer much more career prospects but may also provide excellent placements especially in leading Institutes.

This is basically a matter of your interests and even specific career interests, since both paths require different sets of skills. A quick comparison for your viewing pleasure is shown in the table below:

Microelectronics could also be a very good career option for:

• If you like hardware and have experience in designing electronic circuits. 
• If you are interested in latest technologies such as nanoelectronics and quantum computing. 
• If you want to make good money in the semiconductor industry.
