School of Engineering and Management (KSSEM). The event marked a significant milestone for the institution by establishing a dedicated IEEE technical chapter focused on Electronic Design Automation (EDA)\, VLSI Design\, Semiconductor Technologies\, Embedded Systems\, and emerging electronic innovations.\n\nThe ceremony was graced by Mr. Sajal Mittal\, Chair of IEEE CEDA Bangalore Chapter 2026 and Associate Director at Samsung Semiconductors\, as the Chief Guest. Special Guests included Mr . Aloke Das\, Founder Chair of IEEE CEDA Bangalore Chapter\; Mr. Girish Ar amanekoppa Subbarao\, Vice Chair of IEEE CEDA Bangalore Chapter and Embedd ed Systems Consultant at SemiconAdept\; Dr. Venugopal N\, Professor at PES University\; and Mr. Tanuj Agarwal\, Senior RTL Design Engineer at Samsun g Semiconductors. Their addresses provided students with valuable insights into semiconductor technologies\, VLSI design\, Electronic Design Automat ion\, industry trends\, and career opportunities.\n\nThe program commenced with a welcome by Mr. Mahesh N\, Chair of the IEEE KSSEM Student Branch\, followed by the welcome address from Dr. Renuka V. Tali\, IEEE KSSEM Stud ent Branch Counsellor. The traditional lamp-lighting ceremony marked the f ormal inauguration of the event.\n\nDuring his keynote address\, Mr. Sajal Mittal emphasized the growing importance of semiconductor technologies an d encouraged students to actively participate in IEEE activities and conti nuously develop industry-relevant skills. Mr. Aloke Das highlighted the ro le of open-source EDA tools in VLSI learning and emphasized IEEE CEDA's in itiatives to bridge the gap between academia and industry. Prof. Suresh Ra maswamy Reddy\, Principal of KSSEM\, and Dr. K. Senthil Babu\, Head of the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering\, congratulated t he organizers and encouraged students to utilize IEEE as a platform for te chnical growth\, leadership\, and research.\n\nA major highlight of the ev ent was the official unveiling of the IEEE CEDA Student Chapter logo\, sym bolizing the formal launch of the chapter. The Executive Committee members of the IEEE CEDA Student Chapter 2026 also received their appointment let ters from the Chief Guest. Distinguished guests were felicitated with hand made hampers prepared by IEEE student members\, and students received IEEE CEDA badges as a token of encouragement.\n\nThe inauguration successfully created awareness about Electronic Design Automation\, semiconductor tech nologies\, and IEEE professional activities. It inspired students to pursu e innovation\, research\, and technical excellence while strengthening col laboration between academia\, industry\, and the global IEEE community.\n\ nArchitecture Seminar Hall\, K.
