For the first time, ITC India had offered a “conference-sponsored Research Mentorship Program” to assist students in finding industrial liaisons and gain valuable insights on high-impact research ideas in the area of VLSI testing, Diagnosis and Reliability.  Last year, more than 25 applications were received for this program.
