Sat Mar 22 15:28:19 UTC 2025: ## JSS STU Students Secure Impressive Placements Amidst Market Slowdown

**Mysuru, March 22, 2025** – Despite a broader market slowdown, students from the JSS Science and Technology University (JSS STU) in Mysuru have achieved strong placement results this year. Two students secured the highest annual salary package of ₹45 lakh, while the minimum package offered was ₹8 lakh. This represents a significant improvement over last year’s placement rate, with 80% of students securing jobs compared to 70% in the previous year.

JSS STU Vice-Chancellor A.N. Santosh Kumar attributed the success to the university’s proactive approach to incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into its curriculum. He emphasized that AI, while rapidly evolving, is not replacing jobs but creating new opportunities. To that end, the university has established a state-of-the-art AI lab and will launch a new Bachelor of Engineering (BE) program in computer science and engineering specializing in AI and Machine Learning next year.

Professor Kumar noted a shift in hiring practices, with companies increasingly favoring long-term internships (11 months in this case) before offering permanent positions. Approximately 200 JSS STU students are currently engaged in such internships. Furthermore, a significant 90% of placements this year were with product-based companies, where JSS STU graduates have demonstrated strong performance. The university’s focus on providing industry-relevant skills and adapting to changing market demands has been instrumental in achieving these positive results, despite the challenging economic climate.
