About
Preamble
The Ministry of Tribal Affairs, in association with the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering at the Indian Institute of Science, has launched a unique program to upskill students from the tribal community in semiconductor technology. Semiconductor manufacturing is in resurgence due to the ₹77,000 Cr India Semiconductor Mission (ISM). ISM aims to establish multiple semiconductor fabs and packaging facilities in the country, which will require a skilled workforce with hands-on experience in semiconductor technology. The SemiCon talent committee projected a need of 30,000 by 2027 and 65000 by 2032. Tribal Communities can benefit by participating in this industry with well-paying jobs, provided they have the relevant skills. In this program IISc will build a dedicated training fab, so students with resource constraints can get state-of-art training at no cost. Faculty from tribal communities are also eligible to attend the training so they can increase their horizons with new courses and research.
Program OBJECTIVE
This program will train 450 students and faculty from the tribal community in semiconductor manufacturing technology.
The program is generously funded by the Ministry for Tribal Affairs (MoTA), Government of India, for the benefit of the tribal community. Students who pass the course will improve their knowledge and employability in the upcoming semiconductor manufacturing industry.

Program Format
- Training will be conducted in stages – foundation course and Advanced course. The Foundational course is a 60 hours program with online lectures and assignments. The advanced program is 90 hours with offline lectures, assignments and hands-on training in Bengaluru. Both courses are NSQF-certified, at levels 6.0 & 6.5, for foundational (https://nqr.gov.in/qualifications/3809) and advanced courses (https://nqr.gov.in/qualifications/3808), respectively.
- Selection is meritocratic. The selection to the foundational course is through an online test. The online test is based on content from a video lecture(s). The selection to the advanced courses will be from the graduating pool of foundational courses based on assignment performance.
- Minimum qualifications for students are: Pursuing (or rising) 4th year of UG Engineering OR pursuing (or rising) first year of M.Sc in the relevant field
- Faculty must be employed in a PG institute of higher learning for science or engineering.
