ACM India PhD Clinic

ACM India PhD Clinic

ACM India’s PhD Clinic was launched in Sept 2020, facilitates CS PhD students from all over the country to obtain inputs and advice from diverse expert mentors located in premier academic institutions and industry. The PhD Clinic has been very successful in helping students, with some representative feedback from students:

"The way she answered the questions was so good! She shared personal experiences as well and that made me connect to her."
"He guided me in such a nice way about how to find a research topic, what areas can be there and how I should align my research in a proper manner."
