The Department of Training and Placement at JSS Science and Technology University (JSS STU) hosted the third edition of its 'Young Alumni Meet 3.0', alongside the inauguration of the 'Soft Skill Club', bringing together students, faculty, and recent graduates for an inspiring day of career guidance and learning.
