DTU M.Tech Vlsi Design & Embedded System: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The total academic fee for the 2-year M.Tech VLSI Design and Embedded System programme at DTU is INR 2,58,500 (Year 1: INR 1,28,000 and Year 2: INR 1,30,500). This includes tuition, welfare, facilities, EWS fund, examination, and medical charges. GATE-qualified students receive a monthly stipend of INR 12,400 from AICTE, significantly reducing the net cost. Non-GATE admitted students are also eligible for a stipend of INR 7,500 per month from DTU.

Ans. Candidates must appear in the GATE EC (Electronics and Communication Engineering) paper to qualify for M.Tech VLSI Design and Embedded System at DTU. The EC paper covers networks, electronic devices and circuits, analog and digital circuits, communications, control systems, and electromagnetics. Candidates from B.Tech in Electronics, ECE, EEE, or closely related disciplines are typically eligible. DTU may also accept the EE (Electrical Engineering) GATE paper for this specialisation, as specified in the annual M.Tech admission brochure.

Ans. The M.Tech VLSI Design and Embedded System programme at DTU covers VLSI circuit design, embedded system development, FPGA-based systems, digital signal processing, and semiconductor device design. Students learn design flows using hardware description languages, simulation tools, and low-power circuit design techniques. The curriculum also includes embedded operating systems, real-time systems, and hardware-software co-design, preparing graduates for roles in semiconductor companies, defence electronics, communication hardware, and IoT product development in the electronics and chip design industry.

Ans. Yes, DTU offers a non-GATE admission route through a DTU-level M.Tech Admission Test held in July each year. Non-GATE candidates must hold a B.E./B.Tech in Electronics, ECE, or a related discipline with at least 60% aggregate marks (55% for SC/ST/PwD). Sponsored candidates from recognised organisations may also apply with a No Objection Certificate from their employer. Non-GATE admitted students receive a monthly stipend of INR 7,500 from DTU throughout the 2-year programme duration.

Ans. The M.Tech academic session at DTU is expected to commence in August 2026, following the completion of all admission rounds and fee confirmation in July. GATE candidates went through admission rounds on 7-8 July 2026 and non-GATE candidates on 21 July 2026. Students must complete document verification at the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering and pay the Year 1 fee before the session starts. The exact commencement date will be published on the DTU official website at dtu.ac.in.
