The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) was established in 1936, as the Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work.
Its establishment was the result of the decision of the Trustees of the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT) to accept Dr. Clifford Manshardt’s vision of a post-graduate school of social work of national stature that would engage in a continuous study of Indian social issues and problems and impart education in social work to meet the emerging need for trained human power. This subsequently influenced the direction of social work education and social research in India.
In 1944, the Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School o
f Social Work was renamed as the Tata Institute of Social Sciences. The year 1964 was an important landmark in the history of the Institute, when it was recognised as a Deemed University by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India.
Since its inception in 1936, the Tata Institute of Social Sciences has never limited itself to the mandate of a conventional university; rather, it has worked for the promotion of sustainable, equitable and participatory development, social welfare and social justice through:

• Value-based professional education for social work and other human service professions;
• Social research and dissemination of socially relevant knowledge;
• Social intervention through training and field action projects;
• Contribution to social and welfare policy and programme formulation at state, national and international levels; and
• Professional response to national calamities, through relief, rehabilitation and disaster management.

Over the years, the Institute has, among other thrusts, made a significant contribution to policy, planning, action strategies and human resource development, in several areas, ranging from sustainable rural and urban development to education, health, communal harmony, human rights and industrial relations.
Today, the TISS has earned recognition as an institution of repute from different Ministries of the Government of India, various State Governments, international agencies such as the United Nations, and the non-government sector, both national and international. This is due to the academic freedom leading to a positive work ethos and creativity in the Institute, strong linkages among education, research, field action and dissemination and the social commitment and responsiveness to varying social needs.

After a brief History of the institute let me throw some light on various courses and departments rather SCHOOLS at TISS.

TISS offers courses at Graduate level, Post-graduate level as well as the Doctorate level.

It has 5 Schools (each housing several Centres) and 4 Independent Centres.

• School of Health Systems Studies: It offers Master's programmes in Health Administration and Hospital Administration, as well as a Diploma in Hospital Administration.
• School of Management and Labour Studies: The school has 4 Centres in Human Resources Management, Social Entrepreneurship, Labour Studies and Social and Organisational Leadership Development. The School offers an MA in Human Resources Management and Labour Relations (earlier known as M.A. in Personnel Management and Industrial Relations), and a Diploma in Personnel Management.
• School of Rural Development: It offers a Bachelor's Degree Programme in Social Work, with a specialisation in Rural Development. It also conducts the Diploma programmes in Sustainable Development for the Andaman & Nicobar Islands and for Ladakh to promote development initiatives in these areas.
• School of Social Sciences :It conducts MA programmes in Development Studies and Education (Elementary).
• School of Social Work: This school offers one of the most coveted courses for Social Work in India or may be in the whole Asia-pacific region- i.e MA in Social Work. It also offers certificate programmes in Rehabilitation Counselling and Social Welfare Administration.

There are some independent Centers like -The Centre for Media and Cultural Studies- involved in media production and dissemination, as well as teaching and research, The Centre for Research Methodology which anchors the M.Phil. and Ph.D. programmes, in addition to undertaking a range of training and consultancy work, The Jamsetji Tata Centre for Disaster Management which offers a course in Disaster Management and Centre for Lifelong Learning which caters todiverse sections of learners who are generally left out of the ambit of higher education.

Hi Visusankar

There was no essay test during the last year admissions, instead it was a normal quant,verbal,general awareness test. TISS has a history of changing exam pattern every year, but we hope it will get stabilised now.

Hi all,

As Saqi said TISS exams are never predictive.

According to what i heard TISS used to have a Essay, Aptitude and Psychometric test as well some where in prior to 2003.

In 2005 they only had an essay test and GD as the first round of elimination
and the PI was on the very next day after the first round.(they used to call applicants in batches of 500/day for 10 days and then shortlist 30 to 40 candidates per day and interview them the very next day. )

In 2006 they introduced a full fledged Aptitude test and Essay as the first stage elimination and then followed by a GD/PI.

In 2007 they removed the essay test but the other things were pretty much the same.

well I agree with Saqi that they might stick to the same process, but then they always have some element of surprise.

Thanks and Regards
