Hey Guys,
First thread here.
Interest: Computer Architecture, VLSI
I have shortlisted the universities below.
Please suggest me if the tagged ones are proper or not.
Profile:
Class 10: 96.48%
Class 12: 94%
CGPA: 9.39 /10 (Topper 9.54) [3rd rank in the Department out of 120 odd students]
R.V. College Of Engineering
TOEFL: Not Yet Given
GRE: Quant: 168, Verbal: 152 AWA: 3.5 Expected worst case
Internships:
Worked as a Data Scientist for 3 months in Ericsson
Projects:
1. One basic project in Image processing as an assignment from HP [Before internship was started, which got eventually cancelled because of HP business reasons]
2. Basic ALU design from RTL -> GDS [During third year]
3. Design and analysis of Lens excited by Patch antenna [Mini Project]
4. Design and Analysis of Spheroidal lens excited by Patch antenna Major project. [Partially sponsored by NABARD]
Papers/Conferences:
1. Presented a paper based on the same project number 4 in ICMARS International RF conference.
2. One more paper in VLSI in some medium/low rep journal. [Journal Impact Factor is not that great, had done it in a hurry, so missed to see Impact Factors and other details]
Work Experience
1. Worked as a Design Verification Engineer in one of the top US based MNCs for 3 years. Taped out 3 SoCs successfully.
2. Currently working as Memory Architecture verification Engineer in another UK based MNC. [From past 9 months]
Extra-curricular/Others.
1. Was awarded Infineon scholarship for being Top-2 in the second year of Engineering.
2. Won the second best project award in final year of the college
3. Been presented with 3-4 awards for best performance in carrying out few tasks in 1st MNC.
4. Was a member of Vidya-Poshak an NGO for poor and needy students
LORs
1. Professor under whose guidance I had carried out first project.
2. Professor with whom I had carried out the small image processing project.
3. Will get one from my previous manager in 1st MNC
4. I can get 1-2 more from another Professor or two [If really needed]
Ambitious:
UT Austin: MS in ECE
University of Illinois Urbana: MS in ECE
Moderate:
TAMU: MS in ECE
UW Madison, MS in ECE
Georgia Tech
Purdue
UC San Diego
Safe
University of Minnesota, Twin cities: MS in ECE
Virginia Tech,MS in ECE
NCSU
University of Maryland College Park
I specially want to know where do I stand in getting into UT Austin and TAMU College Station. I have a bit of funding problem, may not be able to arrange funds for some of the Top expensive universities.
Thanks in advance.
