The M.Tech online program in VLSI follows a structured evaluation system with mid-semester and end-semester exams assessing theoretical concepts. Continuous assessments, including lab work, assignments, projects, and quizzes, ensure ongoing evaluation aligned with course requirements.
| Exam Type | Focus Areas |
|---|---|
| Mid-Sem Exam | Basic VLSI concepts: Digital circuit design, semiconductor physics, logic design etc. |
| End-Sem Exam | Advanced topics: System-on-chip design, signal processing, analog VLSI circuits etc. |
| Continuous Assessments | Practical lab sessions, assignments, mini-projects, term paper, design-based tasks etc. |
This proposed examination structure ensures that students are thoroughly assessed on both their theoretical knowledge and their ability to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios.
| Exam Type | Focus Areas |
|---|---|
| Mid Semester Exam – 30% | (MCQs + Fill in the Blanks + Descriptive Questions) |
| End Semester Exam – 40% | (MCQs + Fill in the Blanks + Descriptive Questions) |
| Continuous Evaluation -30% | (To be decided by faculty course wise) |
