This 18-month diploma by IIT Bombay will cover topics such as semiconductors, digital and analog design, mixed signals, wireless communications, and system design.

IIT Bombay has launched its innovative e-Postgraduate Diploma (ePGD) in Integrated Circuits (IC) Design. This online programme aims to provide professionals and students with advanced knowledge in semiconductor technology. Created by the Department of Electrical Engineering faculty, this 18-month diploma will cover topics such as semiconductors, digital and analog design, mixed signals, wireless communications, and system design.

“India is fast-tracking its rise as a semiconductor hub, with over $18 billion invested in five semiconductor projects and a government goal to boost electronics production to $500 billion by 2030. IC design is becoming an essential skill for the workforce as the country builds a full-stack chip ecosystem through strategic policies, global partnerships, and a focus on self-reliance,” the institute said.

Engineering graduates and professionals are eligible to join the online diploma course. Graduates will earn a formal diploma from IIT Bombay after completing 36 credits.

Prof. Shireesh Kedare, Director of IIT Bombay said, “We want to make learning more accessible to a wider pool of learners, including working professionals. With such initiatives, we are moving closer to delivering specialized training in circuit design, strengthening their technical knowledge. This will enable professionals to advance their careers in semiconductor technology and explore emerging opportunities in high-performance computing and wireless communications. India’s semiconductor potential has been a major focus in recent years, and we are optimistic about becoming global leaders in the domain. IIT Bombay firmly believes the program will contribute to our mission of creating a large pool of experts who, after absorbing the fundamental concepts conveyed through this program will be able to contribute to advanced technology development for the benefit of the nation.”

Kashyap Dalal, Cofounder and Chief Operating Officer of Simplilearn, said, “We are extremely thrilled to join forces with IIT Bombay. Earning an e-Postgraduate Diploma in Integrated Circuits Design from IIT Bombay is not just an academic milestone but a mark of excellence, signifying world-class education and industry-relevant expertise. It offers high-quality resources, including top-tier study materials, to ensure an enriching learning experience. Together, we aim to shape learners who will make futuristic contributions to integrated circuit design.”
