RISC-V Semiconductor Design and Skill Development Program
Dear students,
Have you ever wondered where the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, IBM, and edX first began their semiconductor journey? What if I told you they all share something in common — they started at the same university?
Yes, it’s true. These tech giants began their careers at the Indian Institute of Technology–Madras (IIT–Madras), a place where talent meets opportunity, and innovation is nurtured from day one. It’s almost like this university holds a hidden “treasure” — the kind that shapes leaders in the tech world.
And now, you have the chance to follow in their footsteps. We’re offering a fully sponsored, one-month training program at IIT–Madras, covering everything you need to jumpstart a career in semiconductor design — from flight tickets and accommodation to meals.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
-
Computer Architecture & RISC-V Fundamentals
-
RISC-V ISA, Privileged Architecture & Extensions
-
Assembly-Level Programming & Debugging
-
