Hyderabad: Eleven Young India Skills University students enrolled in the Data Science Management course have secured placements at Microsoft with an annual package of Rs 7 lakh per annum, a release from the Chief Minister’s office stated.
This achievement reflects the growing strength of industry-oriented education, practical training, and future-ready skill development being promoted at the university, the release added.
The Young India Skills University (YISU) was established on August 1, 2024, through an Act of the Telangana Legislative Assembly, with a vision to transform higher education through skill-based and industry-aligned learning.
