Mentor user manual

Signing up as a mentor

You can choose to mentor one or more projects in a program. Essentially, there are a couple of steps involved in signing up as a mentor for a project:

Sign up for the program

Open the program homepage and click on the Apply to mentor button. Clicking on the button would mean that you wish to sign up as a mentor for the entire program (or in other words, you cannot submit a proposal and participate as a student when you have signed up as a mentor for the same program). Clicking on the Apply to mentor button does not sign you up as a mentor for a specific project - there are a few more steps involved!

Application approval

Your mentor application has to be approved by the SoC admins. Usually mentor applications are processed between the student and mentor deadlines, but you can apply at any point before the mentor deadline right from the start date of the program itself. Till your mentor application is approved, you can view a list of proposals by clicking on the View project proposals button on the program homepage.

Mentoring projects

Once your mentor application is approved, you can now view proposals by clicking on Select projects to mentor from the program homepage and selecting a proposal from the list. Once you open a proposal, you can click on the Mentor this project button to sign yourself up as a mentor.

Note

You may not be able to see the Mentor this project button if the mentor deadline is over. Please get in touch with the SoC admins in such cases.
