M.Tech in VLSI and Embedded Systems

Hi All,

I've a typical question regarding the choice of appropiate subjects @ M.tech/M.E level. I've done bachelor's degree in Electrical & Electronics engg. & have been working in IT field for the past two years. I thought of doing Part-time M.Tech from IIIT Hyderabad, India (http://www.iiit.net/academics/programmes/pgssp) as it is near my place & one of the good institute in my city/country. But, this being an IT ( Indian Institute of Information Technology) institute, they don't offer regular/conventional courses in Electrical Engineering. The most appropiate course seems to M.Tech in VLSI & Embedded Systems (http://www.iiit.net/admissions/course-offerings-2009-10).

So just wondering how difficult it would be for an Electrical engineer to do it?

In my graduation I had studied Basics of Microprocessors ( 8-bit & 16bit), Analog & Digitial Electronics, Linear Integrated Circuits( Op.amp apps., 555 timers etc), Digital Signal Processors etc. Ofcourse, treatment of all these was at elementary level!

Can you guys help me figure out how difficult/challenging it would be to do Master's in Embedded Syatems & VLSI considering that I would be doing it on Part-time basis while doing job?

Your opinion is awaited!

Thanks,
