I don't know why I havn't done an FPGA programming in my Btech?

I haven't got any hand on experience in FPGA programming in my Electronics and communication course in Thrissur Engineering College. But there is a subject for HDL and VLSI subjects. I am sure that I have studied HDL language in 5th semester or 7th and got just pass mark 40 out of 100. :-).  I do like that language because its gives clear idea on how the AND or OR or NAND  gates are used to build a small digital system.

But its very sad that haven't got any hand on in FPGA programming in my Btech.
