M.Tech programmes have been designed to transform the students into competent professionals. The institute employs a very effective and interactive teaching-learning process using most recent teaching aids including multimedia. The curriculum has been developed considering the present and future needs of industry and higher education. Teachers prepare detailed presentations, lab manuals and course files to ensure the effectiveness of teaching-learning process. A salient feature of the curriculum is an Internship semester, totally devoted to carrying out projects in the industry. Students of all post graduate programmes spend an entire semester in industry, other organizations, renowned institutions and universities, both in India and abroad, as part of their curriculum. They are encouraged to undertake projects in various areas of the industry to augment their theoretical learning. The emphasis during the Internship is on exposing the students to real life problems in their chosen field of work and their solutions, using a systematic and logical approach employing latest tools, techniques and technologies. The Institute is making a conscious effort to shift from the traditional classroom teaching learning process to a problem based, project-based and scenario based teaching learning process. Students are given projects or problem statements right in the beginning of the semester and they undertake these projects either in groups or individually, depending on the nature of the project, and are guided by the subject teacher. Large, inter-disciplinary projects are also given and encouraged. For M. Tech courses, emphasis is given on the practical know-how and application of the subject matter and special emphasis is given on problem solving and self-learning.

He is currently exploring the application of reinforcement learning techniques to develop scalable and efficient attacks and defenses for different domain problems in hardware security. Further, his research delves into developing efficient, secure, and practical computer-aided design (CAD) frameworks integrated with industry-standard tools for designing secure chips. He has extensive experience in protection techniques to secure the IC supply chain, such as logic locking, layout camouflaging, and split manufacturing. Furthermore, his research delves into exploring the usage of graph neural networks for developing efficient attacks, leveraging the 3D paradigm for enhancing hardware security, exploring the security properties of emerging and up-and-coming devices (e.g., spintronics, NCFETs, RFETs), and side-channel evaluation.
