Selection: ACM India will select the students based on the data provided. Selected students will be informed via email.
Registration: Only the selected students will be required to pay non-refundable school fees, no more than INR 3000 + 18% GST, which includes lodging and boarding at the school venue. A non-shareable payment link will be provided only to the selected students. Please note that once selected for a school, you cannot change to another school. Also, note that if selected, you should pay and register to be fair to those who could not get in. So, choose responsibly.
Please note that you need not be an ACM member to attend any of these schools, but our usual recommendation is to become one and experience all other benefits of ACM student membership! ACM student member attendees of the schools will get a Rs. 500/- discount on the registration fees. Some schools intend to give preference to ACM student members.
General Information about all Schools:
The schools will be in an in-person format, i.e., physical presence is required, for selected students who have paid the fees and registered. Registered students arrange for their travel to and from the school venue. No travel support is available. Each day comprises lectures as well as tutorial sessions with hands-on problem-solving experience. The industry partnership can expose you to the career options in the area covered by the school; some schools may organise sessions dedicated to this.
Top performing students in these schools may earn opportunities for an internship in the industry and will be invited to an all-expense-paid participation in the ACM India Annual Event 2027.
Please circulate this message within your academic institution and among your fellow students.

ACM India Schools Committee
