Q. I am a final year student but I did not get nominated by my university. Am I eligible to apply? A. Yes! We highly encourage everyone interested in the program to apply.

Q. I am from another department which is closely related to Computer Science. Can the head of my department nominate me? A. No, only the HOD of the Computer Science department can nominate people, but they are free to nominate people from any department.

Q. What if my institute does not have a Computer Science department? A. If your institute does not have a Computer Science (CS) department, then you can be nominated by the director of your institute. Please ensure that they include a statement in the PDF file attesting that your institute does not have a CS department.
