Course Overview
The Fundamentals of Electronic Materials and Devices certification course is designed for graduates as well as postgraduates. The course is completely an online course that is available throughout the year without having to pay any amount by the students. Candidates who want to enrol in this course get to know about semiconductors, its applications, variations, and other topics related to the subject. The course requires no admission fees to be given at the time of admission. The duration in which the Fundamentals of Electronic Materials and Devices certification syllabus can be completed in 8 weeks but students are allowed to take more time to have an in-depth understanding of the subject.
The Fundamentals of Electronic Materials and Devices programme provides certification at the end of the course to those students who choose to pay for the exam fees and then appear for an offline exam. The programme does not demand any payment for the study material as it comes included in the whole programme. The sessions of the programme are conducted in an interactive manner through case studies and discussion etc. The Fundamentals of Electronic Materials and Devices certification allows the students to learn from the course on flexible timings depending upon their schedules as it provides self-paced training.
