“We are seeing a profound shift in industrial technology. The next-generation factory is not just connected; it processes intelligence right where the data lives. Edge computing combined with IoT is turning every industrial space into a real-time software-driven environment.” — Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft
Engineering the next industrial revolution — architecting intelligent industries.

Master the future of smart manufacturing and connected devices with the six-month, full-time Advanced Embedded Systems, Industrial IoT, AI and Edge Computing bootcamp. Designed and led by industry experts, this intensive deep-tech program equips you with cutting-edge skills in hardware programming, real-time data processing and machine learning at the edge.
You'll master bare-metal and RTOS programming (C/C++ on ARM Cortex-M, STM32, ESP32), industrial IoT architectures (MQTT, CoAP, OPC-UA), TinyML and lightweight ML frameworks on edge hardware, and end-to-end system integration for predictive maintenance and real-time decision-making.
Eight capabilities across firmware, real-time systems, IoT and edge AI — from silicon to cloud.
ARM Cortex, peripherals, drivers and debugging on real hardware — bare-metal and beyond.
FreeRTOS and Zephyr — tasks, scheduling, synchronisation and deterministic behaviour in constrained environments.
MQTT, CoAP, Modbus and BLE — the wire-level story of production IoT solutions.
Signal conditioning, ADC/DAC, sensor fusion and actuator control for reliable field data.
Model compression, quantisation and inference on constrained devices — Coral, Jetson, MCU-class.
AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub and industrial platforms — provisioning, telemetry and OTA at scale.
Secure boot, key storage, encrypted OTA and OT-aware defence for connected devices.
A firmware project, an edge-AI demo and an IoT dashboard — three concrete pieces to show.
Program certified by Visvesvaraya Technological University — India's premier technical university.
Assessment aligned to NASSCOM Sector Skills Council job roles for cyber-security professionals.
Awarded on successful completion of coursework, capstone and industry-mentor assessment.
Additional certifications from partner OEMs (Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto) via elective tracks.
VSI's Industry-by-industry experiential learning pedagogy, led by industry practitioners and CXO mentors, bridges academic theory and workplace practice — replacing static lectures with a curated curriculum comprising 90% hands-on, sector-specific problem-solving, assignments, real-time projects with participating industry partners and assured placement.
Programs are tailored to unique market demands, ensuring learners gain direct exposure to real tools & technologies, application environments and industry professional skills — becoming truly industry-ready professionals.
Any recognised technical degree at bachelor's or master's level.
CSE, ISE, IT, ECE, EEE, EIE and allied streams.
Final-year and recent graduates from these two cohorts.
Consistent 60% aggregate through 10th, 12th and graduation.
Required for 2027 candidates at the time of application.
Embedded systems architects, IoT and edge-AI practitioners who mentor the Embedded Systems, IoT & Edge Computing cohort — 1:1 and cohort sessions across the six months.
