General information on research programs in Analog/Mixed-Signal/RF design at IIT Madras
Admission to our MS/PhD programs are through interviews held twice a year-roughly in May and November. Application site will be open respectively in February/March and September/October. The interview will be preceded by a screening test. Take a look at http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/academics/graduate-admissions/ (See Syllabi) and prepare accordingly. You'll be asked questions related to analog circuits (e.g. of the kind seen in courses like Basic Electrical Circuits and Analog Circuits). Example questions are given here. You will also be asked questions related to basic engineering mathematics: i.e., basic calculus and plotting of functions. For MS admissions, except for external registration, you need to have a valid GATE score.
Information about our Integrated Circuits and Systems(ICS) group can be found at http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/ics/. Information for prospective students is at http://www.ee.iitm.ac.in/vlsi/forstudents/start
