JNTUA M.Tech R25 Embedded Systems Course Structure and Syllabus

The M.Tech in Embedded Systems (R25 Regulation) under JNTUA (Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Anantapur) is a two-year postgraduate programme designed to build advanced skills in embedded hardware, software, real-time systems, IoT, and VLSI-based applications. The curriculum follows a semester-wise structure with a mix of core subjects, electives, laboratories, mini-projects, and research work.

📘 I Year – I Semester

The first semester focuses on foundational and core concepts such as Embedded System Design and FPGA Based System Design. Students also study professional electives like Wireless Sensor Networks, CMOS VLSI Design, Advanced Computer Architecture, Automotive Embedded Systems, and Machine Learning basics. Two major laboratories support hands-on learning: FPGA Lab and Embedded System Design Lab. Additionally, Research Methodology & IPR helps students understand academic research and patents.

📘 I Year – II Semester

This semester builds strong practical and system-level knowledge with subjects like Embedded Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS) and IoT System Design. Electives include advanced topics such as GPU Architectures, Hardware-Software Co-Design, VLSI Testing, Hardware Security, Machine Learning Accelerators, and Image Processing. Labs include RTOS Lab and IoT Lab, along with a Mini Project with Seminar to develop research-oriented skills.

📘 II Year

In the second year, students choose electives such as Edge Computing, Robotics, Embedded Biomedical Systems, and Machine Learning for Robotics, along with an Open Elective from other departments. The final stage is dominated by Dissertation Work (Major Project), where students implement real-world embedded system solutions under faculty guidance.

🎯 Outcome

Overall, the R25 Embedded Systems syllabus focuses on:

• Embedded hardware/software co-design
• IoT and real-time systems
• FPGA and VLSI integration
• AI/ML applications in embedded systems
• Research and industrial project development

This structure ensures students are industry-ready for roles in IoT development, firmware engineering, robotics, automotive electronics, and semiconductor industries.
