Hi All...

I have gone through most of the posts on this thread and it has helped me a lot to imagine a picture of life at TISS
But most of this thread's part is focused on HR life at TISS
As Im interested to know about life for Social Entrepreneurship people at TISS, request you to please ask your SE friends to join this thread and enlighten us.

Thanks!

Hii I am in the final year of my engineering and have passion for HR and targeting TISS next year. I want to know the job profiles after placements that people get at TISS. Thanx in advance.

@Anchun

@gdm4u87

I don't see any update from dev study or social e'ship students in this thread.So both these courses and opportunities after completion of course is still mysterious to me.can you please share contact details of students from these courses?

Thanks.

Hi,

It's been trying times! They were(and are) the best of times and the worst of times!!

Report after report is coming about as to we non-engineers seem to be an unwanted lot in B schools!!

Any tips on the cut off? Did very well in the test. Got 87 percentile at XAT, IRMA- 86 , CAT was never my cup of tea or coffee( I don't drink either- am a milk sop).

Just praying to see the hallowed portals of TISS!!!!!!!!!!!

My first post (so to speak :P)
Most recently, on the 28th of December, 2012, we had an interaction session with Dr Santrupt Misra, who is currently the CEO of Carbon Black industries of Aditya Birla Group and is currently the Group Director of HR in ABG. He is also one of our revered alumni from the batch of 1984. He had also served as a professor in the institute, prior to joining Unilever.

Life had been super hectic off late. before coming to any conclusions on the work load of fourth semester, let me clarify...

As a semester full of excitement and learning comes to an end, it gives me an opportunity to look back and share my own experiences about life at TISS.

@gdm4u87 Hey Gaurav, really inquisitive to know how the pre-conference session with Dan Buchner went yesterday.Is it possible to share some takeaways from the conference? Would be really helpful. Thanks.

Attaching an image showing a few details related to the Interrobang event

Recently, the Asia-Pacific HR head of CitiBank came for a guest lecture. Gave us an idea about how it is to be working in different geographies and people from different cultures. Interesting insights I must say.

Next month, that is, on September 28th and 29th, we are organizing Global Innovation Forum here at TISS. Here are some of the details:

Yesterday, we had a round table conference discussing the issue of violence and its repercussions at the Manesar plant of Maruti...Esteemed speakers addressed both the batches--the juniors and the seniors...Very good learning experience

Posting after a long long time here...The new version of PG had put me off initially

@[279717:Hemanth_Karna]: not to forget the unlimited strategies we devised during the campaigning process.

Students Union elections are successfully completed at the college. I was part of the experience again this time. Came to know about the power centers in the college. Finally, the results are announced and I have been elected as Treasurer. I am very happy for this. Waiting to get into the Union from this January. Now that became true.

An auspicious day in the life of any dedicated PGite
Got the "TISS Mumbai" tag today
We are getting into the groove as the days pass by...Assignments and projects have started flowing in :shocked:
And something else too has started-->The Foundation Courses
We have 45 sessions, each of 2 hours for the foundation courses
Also, Meghmudra is round the corner and the processes for selection of various committees have started
That's about it for now
Will update later

have to see how fun it would be to take a guy mentee for the traditional Mentor -mentee dinner and also have to see what the guy mentees buy to guy mentors

For the record, i got a guy mentee

This is what even the guys who have got a guy as a mentor have been thinking ;)

May be instead of a restaurant for dinner, you can think of some other kind of place for something else...You know what I am pointing to

Also this batch "Mentor Mentee" allocations stay unique in the history of TISS.

This is the first time Guy mentors were allocated guy mentees( thanks to the gender ratio of junis:splat:)

Today is another one of those memorable days which will be remembered by the batches of 2011-13 and 2012-14 for a long time to come. The so called ICE has been broken and mentors have been allocated to the Junior batch. This time, we did use little technology (if at all you call MS Power point a technology). It was lot of fun for the senior batch.

Waiting to hear comments from the junior batch, yet :)

I was about to post our reactions to the mentor--men-tee allocation Hemanth

Really appreciate the innovative way in which your batch did it :clap:
It was fun for our batch too
Will try to do something on similar lines for our juniors

Starting 19th June, we have had a series of guest lectures as part of our CHRO talk series...

So far, we have had 10 guest lectures...Almost all the guest lecturers were at the ranks of Director and Vice-President

It's one of those things at TISS that make you feel great...Normally, these people might not address meetings where the audience is below managerial level...And we, who are taking our baby-steps in the world of HR, are being addressed by them...Their insights and their perspectives add to one's repertoire of knowledge big time...It's a privilege to say the least :)

I am told that a few more are in the pipeline
BLISSed at TISS

Phew!!! It's been a long week and to add to it we have sessions from 9 AM to 7 PM tomorrow
But the silver lining is we have a holiday this sunday
Don't be surprised...Having a holiday is something to cherish at TISS

We were allotted our respective field-work organizations today...Even after a long session today, we were excited about it and were cheering as names of students and his/her organization were announced

I got Glenmark Pharma It's in Andheri-East...Have to travel during rush hours
Mera to ho gaya

Really excited about this...Field-work is something that is unique to TISS...Have heard a lot about it from seniors and the faculty...Going to experience it first-hand now...As one of our guest lecturers put it :

You get to be Krishna (the thinker) at TISS and you get to be Arjuna (the doer) in field-work...It's the combination of both that completes you

It's slightly off-topic but I feel it's relevant to post this here

I have started a thread for dedicated discussions between students and alumni of HR programs :)

Here's the link :

http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/career-discussions/83341-students-alumni-hr-courses-discussions.html#post3575487

I request all the students/alumni to contribute

It's just now that I realized that it's been a week at this awesome place

Yesterday, I reached the campus at 7-30 AM and went back home at 11-00 PM

Seniors treated us with a dinner meal yesterday

And today, I came at 10-00 AM and went back at 3-00 PM and then

We have elected our CR and TISS is gearing up for the welcome party by TISS Camparts
It was raining heavily during the first 1-2 days but now, it's been a while that we have been inundated

So guess we will have to wait for some more time for "MeghMudra"

That's about it for now...I never seem to feel that I have slept enough

Also, the DH food is quite good (particularly the breakfast)

over a period of time , this statement changes to " Only breakfast is good"


keep up the good work and keep writing .

Congratulations Hemanth Sir

Yes, we all are EXTREMELY EXCITED to be here...It's much more than what I had ever thought of...No words to describe the feeling :)

We had a 3-day orientation which concluded with a talent show...Awesome performance by seniors

Today was our first day in our respective schools...We were divided in groups of 20 and then we were off to industry visit...The respect and the admiration for TISS was very visible there...Never felt so much honoured in my life :)

The diversity at this place is AWESOME...We have people from probably all possible sorts of backgrounds, regions, cultures, states and what not...And we all are TISSians here...Superb feeling

And yes, it has started raining in Mumbai and the campus looks pristine in rains

Also, the DH food is quite good (particularly the breakfast)

Life at campus is back. Yes, the new academic year is started with full of colors all around the campus. Junior bunch seems quite excited about joining.

Coming to my course specific details, people are worried about the composition of the junior batch. It's heavily focused on male-engg-it work ex people. Me, being one of them, not liking that domination. Have to see what in store for us.

My batch mates are coming back from their Summer internships and everyone has lot of stories to tell and share. The legend of the course at TISS is experienced to a greater extent at the companies. The way they respect you, the way they give time in their busy schedules etc will just blow your mind away. The respect for the college and course increases by leaps and bounds. Its that part of time, everyone feels like true HR professional.

To just sum it up, we are SENIORS now

1. When will tiss send us info on what time to reach tiss on 15th June 2012?
2. What will be out first week/month etc like?
3. What is the dress code for first day and dress code in general?
4. Will we get any email/letter welcoming students to TISS?

1) The session will commence from 9 AM...Reach accordingly...They won't send any e-mail/letter
2) Would be like the next 2 years-->lots of learning and lots of fun
3) Not very sure but I guess there is no dress code at TISS...Still, seniors might be in the best position to answer this

4) I don't think so

Had lunch in the dining hall and loved it (well, at least for now


Game on

Good to see life in this thread once again . Expecting more posts once the sessions begin:p


Hope u would enjoy the DH food for more than few days

we always have a competition to decide what is the vegetable that they cooked for lunch , and most of the times we come out with as many answers as the no. of people;)

Breakfast obviously is the best part , but it depends on how much time u can squeeze out of the blissful sleep for breakfast

Well, well, well...Finally, the time has come :w00t:
I feel really privileged to be able to post on this thread

Though I have spent just a few days of my life at TISS, I have got a feel of what the next 2 years would be like...My status says it all in a single sentence :-)

I attended my GDPI at the new campus and went for document verification at the old campus...Must say, it's not very difficult to forget that you are in Mumbai once you are inside TISS campus...It's so pristine

Met a super senior there and had an awesome interaction with him...Discussed about how the life would be for the next two years and what all is in store for us :lookround:

Went for doc verification early so also managed to seal a good deal for accommodation :p

Had lunch in the dining hall and loved it (well, at least for now

The session starts 15th june...3 days orientation and the regular classes commence from 18th june...Till then, :drinking:

Game on
