Currently a team of about 400 members, the chapter works as hard as possible and put all our hearts and sweat to make sure that it functions properly and stands to people’s expectations.

ESSAY:RECRUITMENT DRIVE

Every year, the UPES ACM student chapter runs an intensive recruitment drive in the month of August, to bring in new talent. Guiding the new students in college and spread awareness about ACM and its importance is the prime motive behind this drive. In order to get the attention of people, classroom presentations were given and helpdesks were set up in the campus.

This includes information about history of ACM and UPES-ACM Student Chapter, the team, and the endless benefits that an ACM membership can offer.

Also, the promotional material provided by ACM HQ including flyers, posters and pens, helped in creating an impact among the students of the University.

Apart from the promotional drive, our previous work and the success of the past events speak for themselves. The talk of ACM being the best technical society in the campus, never stops taking rounds.

A majority of students have become members, and enjoyed the ACM advantage throughout the year. These advantages include concession in event registration fees, opportunity to seek mentorship under seniors, a chance to network with like-minded people, etc.

The number of people who enrolled into UPES ACM & UPES ACM-W Student Chapters is 348, and the diversity they have offered to the chapter is what makes us unique. It was not just the students from undergraduate programs, but even the students pursuing their postgraduate degree showed interest in our organization. This number of new registrations rising exponentially every year, the chapter has set a new benchmark in the University.

With more than 500 active members presently, the team is stronger than ever.

For recruitment as office bearers and the Core Committee of the chapter, the students are judged through a series of screening rounds. Applications are rolled out for all students of not only Computer Science but also all Engineering branches and the applicants have to submit their Curriculum Vitae within a week.

A rigorous group discussion followed by a Personal Interview round is held before the best of the lot are handpicked by the Chapter’s Faculty Coordinator himself. Such rigorous procedure ensures that only the students who promise dedication and quality get through.

It is the quality of this team that promises a successful year ahead.
