The Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IITKGP) is the first institution of higher education in India to receive the Charles Babbage Grant from Synopsys. Through the grant, IITKGP receives licenses of Synopsys' comprehensive EDA software and intellectual property. The grant also enables IITKGP to purchase computer hardware for the Synopsys CAD Laboratory at IITKGP, which focuses exclusively on core EDA and CAD research. Additional funding provided by Synopsys is also planned to assist with the operational costs of the lab as Synopsys and IITKGP faculty collaborate on joint research goals and establish milestones to further expand VLSI education at the Institute. Synopsys also intends to provide support and training to the students working at the Synopsys CAD Laboratory to help them maximize their research efforts. The laboratory offers students the opportunity to use the latest EDA technologies, thus helping to develop the next generation of industry leaders.
