FAQ
Common Questions
Can we get AICTE / NPIU documentation for the purchase?
Yes — VLSI EXPERT provides full purchase documentation, GST invoice, product specifications and institutional MoU documents that meet AICTE and NPIU lab upgrade requirements.
Do we need existing VLSI labs or infrastructure?
No special infrastructure needed. Students need a laptop with USB port. All software (Talamo SDK) is pre-configured and runs on Windows and Linux. Setup time per workstation is under 30 minutes.
How long is the FDP (faculty training)?
2 days on-campus. Faculty complete the same hands-on labs as students would, with additional pedagogical guidance on how to run the lab independently going forward.
What happens after the first year?
Annual support is renewable. It includes curriculum updates, software version upgrades and one refresher session. Institutions can also expand their EVK count as their program grows.
Can this be combined with a broader VLSI EXPERT MoU?
Yes — many institutions combine the neuromorphic lab bundle with a broader VLSI EXPERT collaboration covering Physical Design and Verification training as well. Reach out to discuss bundled institutional packages.
