The Student Counselling and Guidance Office of Jessore University of Science and Technology (JUST), in collaboration with the JUST Research Society, has inaugurated a three-day training seminar titled “How to Start IELTS Preparation” under the university’s flagship skill development initiative, “Tumii Parbe”.

The inaugural session, held on Sunday at 2:00pm at Professor Md Sharif Hossain Gallery, was moderated by Assistant Student Counsellor Md Sabbir Hossain and formally opened by the Director of the Student Counselling and Guidance Office, Dr Md Rafiul Hasan. Professor Dr Md Abdul Majid, Vice-Chancellor of JUST, graced the occasion as the Chief Guest.

The first day of the seminar featured three interactive segments focused on the Writing module of the IELTS exam. Notably, over 1,400 students actively participated in the sessions, reflecting high enthusiasm for international higher education opportunities.
