Talent

Student Profile

We create India’s best talent for semiconductor fabrication technology and nanoscience. We award Masters and PhD degrees. We also have highly qualified staff members with deep hands-on experience. Semiconductor is an interdisciplinary technology, so our students and staff come from all streams of science and engineering, like electronics, power engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, physics, and chemistry.

The profiles of Mengg, MTech and PhD students can be found here

Skills

Our students and staff will have hands-on experience in thin-film deposition, lithography, wet and dry etching, electrical measurements, microscopy, and process integration. Depending on background and interests, students may also have expertise in structure-property correlations, VLSI design, equipment design, and circuits. All our academic programs have significant lab and project components to develop hands-on skills.

Target Industry

Our target employers are industries in any area of semiconductor technology, like foundries, equipment manufacturers, material or sub-assembly suppliers, services, or design. Typical sectors include advanced logic, memory, sensors, displays, photonics, lasers, electronic systems, OEM, IoT, and solar cells. We are also relevant to new sectors like the Bio-nano interface for diagnostics and drug delivery. Please contact us if the Digital India Mission or the India Semiconductor Mission excites you.

Engagement

Do contact us with your workforce needs. We support all types of engagements, from short-term internships to full-time employment. If you wish to advertise your positions, please send an email with relevant details to industry.cense@iisc.ac.in

Full-time placement: We maintain a list of students seeking jobs. The list can be shared.
Internships: Students can join short-term summer internships, up to a year-long industry internships, or something in between. Students can execute part of their thesis project in industry.

MTech Fellowship

About the fellowship
The Centre for Nano Science and Engineering is launching the “MTech Fellowship Program” with the objective of attracting talent from traditional areas of engineering and science to the emerging electronics and semiconductor manufacturing industry, and supporting them to undertake research in the fields of Advanced Materials, Semiconductor Fabrication & Packaging, Semiconductor Wafer Fabrication Equipment (WFE), etc. This program will help students to efficiently bridge the gap between the foundation they have acquired in their undergraduate courses in mechanical, electrical, materials and chemical engineering or physical and chemical sciences and the job requirements of companies in this area. The benefits to Industry include access to this talent pool, an opportunity to shape the MTech curriculum and to collaborate with faculty members at CeNSE.

As part of the CeNSE MTech fellowship programme, there will be various engagements planned between the students and industry sponsors to enhance knowledge exchange and foster stronger collaboration. The fellowship will encourage students to think of challenges faced by the industry, research solutions, and open up internship opportunities for students to join the sponsoring companies. The students will get an opportunity to interact, learn, work, and get mentored by industry leaders from across the globe.
Entitlements of the Fellowship
• Enhanced fellowship of INR 24,800 per month for 12 months
• Attending conferences shall be supported
• Engagement with sponsors including opportunities for internships, placement & career guidance.

Eligibility
• All 2nd Year MTech students of Centre for Nano Science & Engineering (CeNSE)

How to Apply
• Call for applications for 2024 fellowships will be sent via email to all the second-year MTech students of CeNSE in July-2024 and the selection will be completed before 1st week of August.

Selection Process
• Applications are reviewed & selection for the fellowship is made by CeNSE faculty committee based on the information provided in the application form as well as inputs from the Industry Sponsor.
