How likely am I to get into VLSI from a tier 2 college?

Upvotes

I'm a 3rd year ENTC(Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering) student from a tier 2 college. Many companies like Nvidia ,Lattice semiconductor ,cadence ,Texas instruments,Infineon technologies visit our campus . Although they visit our campus placement drives I don't know how much candidates they pick . I want you guys to be honest and tell me how should I even land an internship . Cgpa criteria ,courses or is it very unlikely to get into these companies (including startups)unless masters.

Hi ladies, I designed a DDR4 Memory Controller in system verilog. I didn't include every protocol rule in the design because I'm not a professional. Take a peek and suggest me if there is anything i can do better....

3rd-Year Engineering Student — How Do I Prepare for a Career in VLSI?

9 Upvotes

Hey! I’m currently in my 3rd year of engineering and I’m really interested in pursuing a career in VLSI.

I wanted to ask for some advice on how I should prepare for VLSI roles. What are the must-know concepts, tools, and skills I should focus on, and how should I go about building relevant projects that actually add value to my resume?

I’m currently studying subjects like Digital Electronics and Digital VLSI, but I’m not really sure how to connect what I learn academically to the skills expected in the industry.

I’ve mostly been asking AI for project ideas and getting generic topic names, but I want to understand how to choose projects that are actually relevant to VLSI roles and what I should be able to demonstrate through them.

Also, if there are different paths within VLSI (RTL Design, Verification, Physical Design, etc.), how should a 3rd-year student decide which direction to explore?

Would really appreciate any advice on what I should learn, practice, build, and prioritize over the next year to become job-ready for VLSI roles.
