Selection Process (VLSI Design-VLSID/Embedded System Design-ESD), Applied AI
The selection and admission process for VEDA IIT programs involves three or four rounds, depending on the number of applications received.
- Round 1: Preliminary Test – A one-hour screening test is conducted at the VEDA IIT campus in Hyderabad or at centers mentioned in the application form
- Round 2: Main Test – Candidates who qualify in Round 1 will take a written test of two-hours duration at the VEDA IIT campus in Hyderabad or at centers mentioned in the application form.
- Round 3: Technical & Personal Interview – Shortlisted candidates from the main test will undergo technical and personal interviews at the VEDA IIT campus in Hyderabad.
- Round 4: Optional based on sponsoring company requirements.
