CMOS Digital VLSI Design

By Prof. Sudeb Dasgupta | IIT Roorkee

Learners enrolled: 4718

This course brings circuit and system level views on design on the same platform. The course starts with basic device understanding and then deals with complex digital circuits keeping in mind the current trend in technology. The course follows a design perspective, starts from basic specifications and ends with system level blocks. Eight Assignments are provided which will add/help in understanding the course in a better manner both at conceptual as well as hands-on level.

The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 6 assignments out of the total 8 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Roorkee.It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.
