Why choose VLSI Dojo
A next-generation training space built for VLSI learners who want to break the barrier between college learning and real chip-engineering.
The Problem With VLSI Education
Most students spend years learning theory but never touch real chip design workflows. Skills like verification, design flow understanding and clean code writing practices are rarely taught with industry depth.
The academic → industry gap is wider than ever.
VLSI Dojo Changes Everything
We teach VLSI the way engineers actually work in companies — through hands-on RTL design, debugging, simulations, EDA toolflows, and real silicon-grade projects.
A dojo where you train like a real engineer.
A Path From Learning → Offers
You build strong projects, master debugging, create a unique portfolio, and develop clarity of thought — standing out among thousands of candidates.
Skill → Portfolio → Interview → Offer.
