VDAT 2022 Fellowship Program

VDAT 2022 invites students and faculty members working in the scope of VDAT for applying for the fellowship programme. Over the decades, VDAT has been offering generous fellowships to students and teachers of various Indian academic institutions. This trend would continue for VDAT 2022 as well. The fellowship provides complimentary registration to attend the conference.

Fellowships are made available to Indian students and faculty working in the areas of VLSI and related fields. The Fellow needs to attend the conference on all 3 days. A fellowship should not be viewed as an honour or recognition, but as an enabler to attend VDAT for students/faculty who do not get adequate support.

Fellowship entitles you to a lower registration fee as given in registration page (Category C Registration Fees). No other support will be available. The students/Faculty who apply for fellowship must be full time students/regular faculty at the time of the symposium. Identity card will be asked at the registration desk. Fellowships are open to all irrespective of them presenting a paper in VDAT or not. Acceptance of paper is not the eligibility for getting fellowship. However, if your paper is accepted, then the presenter/one author has to register by paying the full amount (Category A Registration Fees) whereas rest of the authors may apply for Fellowships and pay the registration fees as per Category B or C as applicable.
