Ganesh S★★★★★

I’ve attended most of the classes from Week 1 to Week 8, and I really liked how the course is structured. Each week focuses on a specific topic and helps build the fundamentals step by step before moving into more advanced areas like Analog Design, Digital Design and other VLSI domains from Week 9 onwards. What I particularly liked is that the course doesn’t stop with just theory. Once we move into the advanced topics specific to each domain, we also get the opportunity to work on industry level projects. This gives us valuable hands on experience and a better understanding of how these concepts are applied in real world scenarios. Overall, I think it’s a great initiative, and I’m happy to be a part of it. Looking forward to the upcoming topics and projects.
