The Professional Skill Development Club is a unique set up in H.R. College by its students. It provides a platform to its members where the club grants them various opportunities to learn and polish their skills. The club, along with working on upskilling its members in their individual lives, will also equip them with professional skills needed in a "World full of Suits." We believe these skills will be beneficial for our members throughout their lives and careers, and something that conventional academic syllabus does not include.
The club consists of a total of 120 members including the SYJCs and FYJCs. We believe in being consistent and having regular meetings, sessions, activities, and workshops for our members to achieve maximum efficiency and learning.

The group was divided into two teams where each team had to solve a set of riddles and come to a final solution after which that particular team was declared the winner, but in the midst of all this, each team had certain tasks to do and together as a team they had to cheer and develop a team shout as well.
