Hi Puys.

@saqi_143

I sent my app. on the 22nd of Oct. And yes, I'm yet to receive a response from the guys at TISS.

I'm from Assam, so hopefully I'll get the benefit of the time extension... man, am I scared...!

At TISS you would get a complete picture of the HR aspects.....inclusive of labor laws (consider them a part of HR in manufacturing/ industrial units)

Job profile is what u choose to be.....as in which function of HR u choose
else not much of a difference

As I have said already pls do not regards labor laws seperate from the HR functions...they are an integral part...

Looking at the placemnets of past batches...it is evident you can make ur choices for software companies

No idea regarding ur second query

Nidhi

Nidhi looks already like a TISSian..!!!

Anyways, she's absolutely right on the 1st point, TISS is different from XLRI, both of us complement each other, and hence you shall observe guys from both schools working together in most of the corporates today....

Our placements shall close today, and we would soon reveal our stats, but I assure you that all sectors have gone happy with what they have got from TISS (summers).

As for foreign fees, plz refer to the information brochure, there is a separate form to be filled and fees are different.

Are you an NRI or a foreign national ?

Cheers
