The Government of India is stepping up efforts to build a robust, self-reliant semiconductor ecosystem through India Semiconductor Mission 2.0 (ISM 2.0) , announced in the Union Budget 2026–27. The initiative aims to strengthen domestic capabilities in semiconductor equipment, materials, chip design and manufacturing while reducing dependence on external supply chains. The expansion of India's semiconductor ecosystem creates promising avenues for students, faculty and researchers in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering and related disciplines. Emerging areas of interest include: VLSI and semiconductor chip design Semiconductor devices and fabrication Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Artificial intelligence and hardware systems Semiconductor materials and packaging Research collaboration and skill development Students can strengthen their preparation through relevant coursework, laboratory projects, internships and research ac...

The Learning and Information Resource Centre (LIRC), SFIT NDLI Club, successfully conducted an Open Book Test on VLSI Design for 59 Third-Year ECS students on 4 August 2026 . The activity encouraged students to move beyond memorization by applying concepts, analyzing information, and utilizing library resources effectively. Through this initiative, students: Strengthened conceptual understanding Improved information retrieval skills Developed analytical thinking Utilized scholarly learning resources during assessment Experienced outcome-based learning practices Open Book Tests continue to promote critical thinking and independent learning, reinforcing the role of the library as an active partner in engineering education.
