In addition, the second MoU was inked between Assam Skill University (ASU) and HCL-TSS to assist applicants in joining the HCL-TSS skilling and employment programmes; thereby providing mutual support for counseling and conducting eligibility assessments of qualified candidates on the university campus or any other campus offered by ASU.
As per an official, this is expected to help students from rural and remote areas to attain employment opportunities.
