After getting into the B.Tech program in Electrical Engineering, you have innumerable career paths you can follow! IC design is just one of them. A beginner might find the required learning to be daunting at first, but an experienced chip designer would tell you it all boils down to KCLs, KVLs and some frequency analysis. Once you build intuition in the following topics, you might find yourself agreeing with them:
Engineering Mathematics
Circuit analysis in both time and laplace domain
Signal processing
Boolean math
And a few more...
The following flowchart of courses offered in our department might help you plan your study and practice of these skills:
