ACM Membership

ACM membership is drawn from all sectors of the computing sciences and their applications, from the design and construction of computers to the development of appropriate programming theory and languages and the utilization of computers in scientific investigation, industrial control, management data processing, and the humanities.

Originally, membership in ACM was open to all interested in the purposes of the Association. In 1966, ACM adopted grades of membership, which currently include " Professional Member" and "Student Member." Eligibility for these grades is defined as follows:

Professional Members are those who subscribe to the purposes of the Association and satisfy one of the following qualifications: 1. Bachelor's Degree; 2. Equivalent level of education; or 3. Two years full-time employment in the IT field.
Student Members are those who subscribe to the purposes of the Association.

ACM members benefit from a wide variety of resources, including more than 50 publications; nearly 150 Special Interest Group conferences; free online books and courses for professional development; a searchable Digital Library; local chapter activities; and a growing online community of electronic forums.

New members from India can join ACM by paying their dues in Indian rupees.
