NIT Rourkela proudly contributed to India's growing semiconductor ecosystem as its two integrated circuit (IC) designs were featured at the prestigious #SemiconIndia2025 event. The ICs were included in the commemorative memento of India's first fully indigenous 32-bit microprocessor, #Vikram32, presented by Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

The Present Encryption Core IC (C2S0017) is a lightweight block cipher designed for resource-constrained environments such as IoT, RFID, e-payments, healthcare, and sensor networks. It was developed by Dr. Ruby Mishra, Mr. Bharat Patidar, Prof. Manish Okade, Prof. K. K. Mahapatra, and Prof. Ayas Kanta Swain.

The VGA Amplifier Sensor Circuit IC (C2S0018), aimed at biomedical and IoT applications, integrates a capacitive interface with accelerator connectivity, OTA components, and energy harvesting mechanisms. It was designed by Ms. Ipsita Dadh, Ms. Samiksha Das, Mr. PM, Prof. Sauagat Kumar Kar, and Prof. Sudip Kundu.

Both ICs were developed under NIT Rourkela's participation in the Chip-to-Startup (C2S) Programme sanctioned by MeitY in 2023, with Prof. K. K. Mahapatra as Principal Investigator and Prof. A. K. Swain as Co-Principal Investigator.
