I have done this course from aug 2k14.This course is good at cdac-noida.Those who are desperate to enter in to core VLSI industry then doing this course may help you.coming to placements, companies like wipro, freescale, arm, cadence visited the campus and other companies are going to come.
Opportunities are there but it ultimately depends on our part as how we are going to plan and utilize those 6 months time carefully. By the way im placed in wipro.
