Why Synopsys

The tools the industry uses. In the hands of every student.

When a student joins VLSI EXPERT, they don't train on open-source alternatives or academic-grade tools. They train on the exact EDA software running inside Synopsys, Intel, Qualcomm, and every major semiconductor company in the world. That's not a marketing claim — it's the direct result of being a Synopsys Workforce Development Partner.

From 2018, this access was limited and token-based — shared across batches, requested in advance. In 2022, we made a deliberate decision to invest heavily and give every student unlimited, individual, 24×7 access to the full Synopsys professional suite at no extra cost. We didn't calculate the cost. We calculated the impact.

"The gap between what colleges teach and what companies need — that's what we built VLSI EXPERT to close. Synopsys tools are not an add-on here. They are the foundation." — Puneet Mittal, Founder & CEO, VLSI EXPERT
