TISS IS NOT A B- SCHOOL
- We have a batch of 22 students followed by a batch of 41 juniors. We are a small, tightly knit group; a family that works together on everything. A couple of students and I, who were lucky enough to be in Hyderabad during the second semester, were actively engaged in the Admission Process.
- We didn't have an Admissions Committee, whoever was available, took up the job. Why is this an advantage you might wonder? I am learning economics everyday. It has helped me to allocate my time and energy to decide whether I should focus on studies, on student admissions, focus on college marketing or on some competition.
- We have the same curriculum as that of Master of Arts in Human Resource Management & Labor Studies which is offered in Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. This gives us equal exposure to the various fields of studies ranging from Women Studies, Development Studies, Public Policy Governance, Rural Development Governance, etc.
One very common thing about both the campuses is that there are lush green trees in the campus in the heart of two very busy cities, Mumbai and Hyderabad. There are TISS alumni who are constantly assisting us in developing our new campus and there is the more than obvious - a) the Foundation Courses in Society, Politics and b) several internships. Yes, we do. We have a block internship at the end of every semester and a Summer Internship. Though the future of such a budding course cannot be predicted, the next batch seems extremely promising with not only better numbers in all aspects but also in the kind of spirit that they have brought to the college.
Now, if anybody has ever worked in a startup, they will be able to better relate to the kind of environment I am talking about. Yes, it is challenging and yes it takes a brave heart to get into a new campus, but when I decided to be a part of the TISS family, I was pretty much aware of what I could expect from this institute.
All in all I am extremely content so far. I have worked in the IT industry, Banking and Retail Industry, Manufacturing Industry and my faculty mentors have beautifully carved the HR experience for each student here. My projects have had a huge variety from Employee Engagement, Employee On-boarding, Great Places to Work Survey, Strategy, Employee Bench Management and Labour Laws Compliance and Statutes. I will let the reader decide for whether this kind of experience is worth a shot. And when it comes to placements, I am very sure that this is not an Institute which needs great students to survive. This is an institute that can transform its students into professionals of mettle.
Hence, 'N' is a rational number.
