Hi all , kindly help in evaluating my profile .
I am currently working for a service based VLSI company (French MNC ) in Bangalore.I am in a domain called DFT , where we modify the design of the chip to make it more testable and I have experience in various EDA tools . I will have 2.8 yrs of experience by Fall 2017 and have worked for many clients like Qualcomm , Intel etc. I'm planning to specialise in VLSI.
As you can see , my graduation record is not great , I had 16 backlogs . Due to some personal reasons I started accumulating arrears from 4th sem onwards and continued till 6th . I cleared all in one shot in 7th.
Considering my profile , do you think I should mention some reason in SOP for my low grad.score ? I have come up with a list , please please help in shortlisting the universities like which ones to reject and add some universities too.
