SMART Lab

Skilled Manpower Advanced Research and Training (SMART) facility or Virtual Prototyping Lab is set up at NIELIT Calicut as part of Chip to Start-up (C2S) programme of MeitY for the proliferation of advanced VLSI and Embedded system design training, research, and electronics systems development across the country.

To learn electronics hardware and embedded system design concepts, and to acquire design skills, it is inevitable to practise laboratory experiments. Skilled Manpower Advanced Research and Training (SMART) facility for conducting skilled training programmes through remote hardware facility in the state-of-the-art areas of Embedded System, VLSI, & Electronic Product Design.

* Courses of beginner, intermediate and advanced levels complexity shall be started in a phased manner.
