The Future of the Semiconductor/VLSI Industry: Opportunities and Growth Sectors

The semiconductor and Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) industry plays a critical role in driving technological advancements across nearly every sector. With each passing year, the demand for faster, more efficient, and smaller semiconductor chips continues to grow, largely due to the exponential rise in connected devices, smart technology, and computing power requirements. The future of this industry is not just promising but essential for shaping the modern world.

Choosing the Right Path to Build Real Skills

That's the only thing that will land you a job in VLSI. I’ve faced many struggles in choosing the right institute for training. Initially, I went for a cheap and "best" option in Bangalore, hoping for placements, but nothing happened. I started attending interviews on my own, but during one, they asked me to debug an issue in a tool session, and I couldn’t—because my training didn’t cover debugging. They taught me some theory and how to run scripts, but nothing practical. This built up a lot of frustration, and I eventually returned to my hometown because I couldn’t afford to stay in Bangalore anymore.
