Ans. The total fee for the 2-year ME Embedded System and VLSI Design programme at SPCOE, Dumberwadi is INR 1,46,000, covering the complete programme as per the 2026 fee schedule. This makes SPCOE one of the more affordable postgraduate options for electronics engineers under SPPU. Eligible students can apply for Maharashtra government scholarship schemes through the MahaDBT portal to reduce net expenditure.

Ans. Admission is based on a valid GATE 2025 or 2026 score in Electronics and Communication (EC) or Instrumentation Engineering (IN), or a valid MAH-PGCET score. Candidates register on the DTE Maharashtra ME CAP portal (pgcap2026.mahacet.org) and participate in centralised allotment rounds. No direct or management-quota admission is available at SPCOE.

Ans. The sanctioned intake for ME Embedded System and VLSI Design at SPCOE is 24 seats per academic year. All seats are allocated through the DTE Maharashtra ME Centralised Admission Process based on GATE or MAH-PGCET merit, with reservations as per Maharashtra government norms. The small batch encourages hands-on research and project-based learning.

Ans. The SPPU-affiliated curriculum covers VLSI design and layout, embedded C programming, FPGA design and implementation, digital signal processing, SoC architecture, low-power VLSI design, hardware-software co-design, real-time operating systems, and advanced microprocessor architecture. The programme culminates in a research dissertation. Practical labs on FPGA boards and simulation tools such as Cadence or Mentor are integral components.

Ans. Graduates can pursue careers in semiconductor companies, embedded systems product firms, automotive electronics, IoT hardware companies, defence electronics, and government organisations such as ISRO and DRDO. Roles include VLSI design engineer, embedded software developer, FPGA engineer, and SoC architect. The degree also qualifies graduates for PhD programmes in electronics and VLSI at universities across India.

Ans. Yes. ME students at SPCOE can apply for the Maharashtra EBC Scholarship (for open category students with family income below INR 8 lakh), the Post-Matric Scholarship (for SC/ST/NT/OBC/SBC students), and the Free Ship Card for SC/ST students.
