class="clearfix"> <p>The PhD Clinic, launched in September 2020 by the ACM India Council, facilitates CS PhD students from all over the country to obtain inputs and advice from expert mentors located in premier academic institutions and industry. Currently, about 25+ faculty from top-tier institutions and industry, including IISc, IITs, IIITs, CMI, IMSc, Microsoft Research and JNU have joined as mentors. Mentors spend a few hours each month talking to students and giving concrete and constructive suggestions on their work. Each clinic session is a one-on-one engagement, and a student gets to choose a mentor who works in his/her area from the available list of mentors.</p> <p>If interested in any topic in computing, <strong><a href="http://bit.ly/phdclinicslot" target="_blank">register here to participate in the clinic</a></strong>. <a href="https://bit.ly/phdclinicslides" target="_blank">Here is a deck of slides giving more details of the Clinic</a>.
