I have prior work experience of 1 year in a non-VLSI company. Will this help me in getting a VLSI Job after this training?
No, It will not add much value to your application for a VLSI role. However, with our training, you will have a strong profile for a variety of VLSI jobs i.e. RTL Design Engineer, FPGA Design Engineer, Verification Engineer, Design and Verification Engineer, SOC Verification Engineer, DFT Engineer, AMS Engineer etc.
Will I go through technical and communication screening before facing the company interviews?
Yes. Every student goes through mock interviews and screening rounds before facing company interviews. This also helps us shortlist suitable candidates matching to client's requirement. For example, Some companies focus mainly on technical skills whereas others require engineers with excellent communication skills. It varies company from to company and profile to profile.
What is the reason few students get a lower package?
There are only two reasons behind a student getting a lower package or no job at all.
- Poor technical skills
- Poor communication skills
If someone does not have a strong grasp on theoretical and practical exposure of concepts or if he/she doesn't know how to explain it well, It is difficult for them to secure a job.
Where should I focus more - theory or labs?
You should focus on both. Without understanding the theoretical part of the concepts, you will not be able to apply them practically.The Advanced VLSI Design and Verification course has been designed and delivered to keep this in mind. Everyday, you will start with theory sessions to learn and grip the concepts first and spend the latter half of the day in practicing the labs.
Do you guarantee a job after training?
We do not offer job guarantees to anyone. We guarantee you the best training which covers the entire design and verification flow. Our course structure, labs, and project are well designed to help you navigate through the interview confidently.
