Finally the first semester ended on a happy note with the summer placement

summer internship process is some thing which would be remembered for alon time to come

its a life time experience

the support and hardwork put by seniors made the bonding much stronger between both the batches

its only few more hours of time that the TISS 2011-13 batch is going to be completely placed

then the party begins:drinking::drinking::drinking::clap:

The last one month and precisely the last 15 days are the most hectic days in TISS so far

writing 8 back to back exams and attending summer PPTS even during exams (one PPT was an hour before the exam)
and filling N number of forms which runs into pages and easily take 3-4 hours to fill (i am damn slow in filling forms )..
the ecstacy of getting a shortlisting from dream companies only to realise u have been dumped in other dream company of urs.....freshers fretting over the choice of few companies on giving shortlists to only work ex folks ..and work ex guys cursing themselves of lost opportunities due to their work ex.....guys sharing camaraderie and abusing those companies who are heavily biased towards fairer sex and whose shortlists are full of them...

adrenaline running high ..also the mounting pressures..the batch of 2011-13 is ready to face the crucial days of management study..THE SUMMERS



and we would rock it for sure

Hey Puys,i don't see any TISS-final placement stats for 2011 season!!When the final stats will be out??

this thread is meant to for "Life at Tiss" and not general queries for that there is separate thread.

Tiss as a policy does not officially publish placement details for different courses but be assured it is as good as it gets.

Hey Puys,i don't see any TISS-final placement stats for 2011 season!!When the final stats will be out??

Today, on occasion of Teachers' day, we have prepared Greeting cards for all the faculty at TISS and have kept inside their rooms by today morning. We have worked yesterday from 7pm to 12:30am and it was totally fun. These occasions are the best ones to mingle with students from other courses. Complete activity is organized by TISS Students union. Kudos to them for planning these kind of activities.

On the other note, packed schedules have started in HRM&LR; course Tough times are ahead...

Oy hemu...Upload a couple of pics here na...( especially the one in which i am painting so intently..let the world know how good painter i am )

and all the assignment submissions are lined up ..on top of that i have a project dead line in my field work org ...and the N number of PPTs lined up (wont reveal more than this on placement stuff).just add to our woes

this month sure gonna be a HELL and hope we survive it ....

Complete activity is organized by TISS Students union. Kudos to them for planning these kind of activities.

On the other note, packed schedules have started in HRM&LR; course Tough times are ahead...

NIPM(National Institute of Personnel Management), in association with TISS, has organized a 2-day conference on "HR- The champion for innovation to happen" on 26th and 27th of August, in the college premises(Convention center). It is a great experience to listen to Heads - HR of different organizations.

After attending this conference, we came to know about the Networking and immediately few are planning to become members of NIPM and NHRD chapters. Have to wait and see, how far that materializes ;)

Coming to academic schedule, we have a pile of assignments that need to be submitted in the next few weeks.

Today entire class had BiSQT's ..but they are very hard to be digested

BSQT: Business Statistics and Quantitative techniques

we had an exam with 20 % weightage and just a day earlier the faculty announced it would be a open book exam...:wow:

he infact gave a reason that being would be managers we should not be wasting time mugging formulae and spend it wisely

in today's paper , he infact solved the sums and asked us to infere from the results:splat:

20 Marks gone down the drain...

expecting a max of 2-3 marks..this after making BSQT top1 priority over the past one week

The correlation between preparation for the exam and outcome in the exam is Zero

learnings: Never agree for a open book exam

To make Life @ TISS more memorable, 2011-13 HR batch have started few initiatives for HR students, which include - Movie group(Screen movies based either Business Mgmt or HR Mgmt and have a discussion on the same), Article group(Read latest trends and their effect in management and followed by discussion on same), Case Study group(I think no explanation is required here), Study Group(Fellow classmates conduct classes for others to explain the concepts better and clear doubts) and News&Updates; group(Prepare a compendium of weekly updates in news world).

The initiative took a kick start on last Friday with Study group conducting a class on BSQT and followed by screening "City of Gold" movie on Saturday night. The movie showcases the lives of Mill Workers and provided us with insights on Labor Relations and how a small decision at top management causes a ripple effect in Labor's lives.

Hoping that these initiatives will go a long way to Knowledge sharing and build the bonding among the classmates.

hey guyz m interested to get my management studies done in HR....done with my BE last yr (2010 batch)....
do u think TISS is ri8 option...if yes when is the admission test conducted and what is the syllabus...???

Posting after a long hiatus ..
Its a great feeling to see people like Anchun n Hemanth keeping this thread alive n rocking with their first year experiences...Sort of takes me back to when I was in first year...Megh Mudra, Manthan, FC rigour ( or the lack of it) blah blah ....
Come 2nd year n after your summer internship, things have changed.. Was under the impression that 2nd year is "total vella" though I must say a few elective subjects are doing a good job of keeping us on our toes atleast for half of the week ...
Meghmudra, freshers, trek it has been a good time (you though i did miss out on the senior-junior interaction especially the mentor mentee session ). As it was, meghmudra lived upto its expectations with it pouring cats & dogs n my beloved cellphone falling a prey to them ( How could I let that happen a 2nd time !!! :splat:)
The freshers n trek have already been talked about so wont reiterate the same...
Expecting our block field work organizations in a few days ...

So thats it for now ..Will keep posting

Continuition from previous post:

Finally submitted the assignment at 5:30 Am ..(YUP...had done night out for assignment which hardly takes 2 hrs to complete)

And then went for playing Badminton and later GYM (only to loose all matches at badminton and sleep in GYM)

Came back at 8 and thought of sleeping for just 30 min ..(Had class of BE for which i submitted assignment ..at 9) and woke up at 1 pm:splat:



Few other interesting tidbits:
we had a hero of regional movie (the movie played for 100 days ) in our batch;)(name ..u would find out once u are here)

we got our classes cancelled for this saturday (ofcourse..need to attend extra classes later) and most of the classmates flied to their home towns...

Except for few souls like urs truly..who gave send off to all after getting a promise that every one would return with sweets

And the other souls who are left here are planning for a movie tomorow "Aarakshan" and may be a trek on either sunday or monday

Monsoons are the best times for trek in Mumbai.....u have to be here to see it

Quick updates:

we got an interesting assignment for our BE assignment (dead line is 12 Am..yup another 24 min) its about watching the movie "CORPORATE" and answering some questions connecting it to some techniques....

done with the first part(yup....watching the movie * shameless*)

second part karne ka kuch mann nahi horahahe......i think i would not be able to make it with in deadline...

got a book issued from library today
it got a great lineage ...first issued in 1980:shocked:
and the last issue was way back in 1993....and after 17 years i am the first explorer tro venture into untouched corners of our library and get hold of it

who knows what secrets unravel from it

Finally...one of the end semester exams is over. All of us are relieved as if we have finished our course :D. Good thing in Masters courses, including TISS, is faculty has the full freedom on how and when to conduct exams and how should be the split of class participation.

The exam we have finished is about one of the foundation courses, India's development and Indian constitution. We have come to know many details and the experience is enriching ;). The most interesting part is, most of us don't know the subject name correctly :splat:. In the exam paper, we have to fill the name of the subject, we went blank. But thanks to the question paper, it is mentioned there.

We came to know how to prepare for exams in future and we thought of starting preparation for next exam with full fire, immediately after coming to room. After that, we slept and woke up the same we used to and the routine begins again... All the fire has been cooled down in a day

hahahah...very true ..

All the promises we made of starting regularly were gone in thin air immediately after the exam

and the reason for not knowing the name is that the exam we had is on india,democracy....... and we call it in short FC3 (foundation course 3,there are 3 in total)

the night before the exam is the most pressurised night i spent in a long time

and not to forget the exam part too

this FC3 is divided again into two parts 3.1 and 3.2

for the second part , there is a condn that each answer should atleast be 500 words length ..5 questions so total of 5000 words in 2 hrs....quite a feat for lazy me......

This friday(5th August), college is organizing a live concert by Pandit Shree Hari Prasad Chaurasia. We are fortunate enough to get this opportunity and it is free for all the students.

P.S.: The concert of the event is attached to make you jealous

My field work at Deutsche going great..it helps a lot when u find a lot of ur seniors out there

the fun in travelling in mumbai locals during peak hours is some thing to be experienced first hand.....

going back for work

The much awaited Megh Mudra is finally over yesterday. It had not rained in the last week but yesterday it rained heavily and that too during the event. People were dancing like they had gone crazy/mad whatever and its a moment worth memorable for life time. I too danced for a little while and stopped once my energy is drained. Seniors will make sure that you get drenched in water

Points to be noted:

1. Don't carry your wallet and mobile.
   
2. Don't wear new clothes.

u dint dance at all!!!!!!

hey.i would like to kno if arts students have an edge over the selection criteria at tiss? what is the ur current batch size?

edge- NO!!!
we have students from varied background : cabin crew, ngo, engineers, psychology, sociology, journalism, english hons and what not!!
ur graduation will matter only to the extend how much u know about it, tiss obviously is looking for good students :)
current batch is of 60 students

Back with updates :p

The hectic period is started at the campus. People good at multi tasking will have all the fun from now onwards ;). We have reached such a position that we are excited when there are no classes on a Sunday :(.

Foundation course classes are simply awesome for different reasons, which you will understand after coming here. I don't remember how many times I have told this in my previous posts, but once again "TISS has its own culture which is very rare to find in Indian colleges/schools"

Placements work has started and we have sent out CVs for our summers. As per the rumors, from Aug starting we will have our PPT(Pre Placement Talk) for Summers.

Field work concept is really good and lot of learning is happening at the Organizations. But only problem is you have to read and write a lot about the work you are doing on a weekly basis.

A quick update on election results:

Rameez (rameez raza) won the class level "literary rep" election

Manoj(not that active on PG, but one guy who want to do a lot to aspirants a lot once the notification is out ) elected as "cultural representative"

and Moi elected as School secratery for the School of management and labour studies (SE,GL.HRM)

and hemanth is a sure shot candidate for the post of CR..which comes under the purview of School secratary

We went for a trek to a place near Lonavala and in simple words, the trip was awesome. . You have to be here to feel the buzz in the campus

P.S.: Election process here at TISS rocks. All the responsible posts have elections according to constitution. It is like simulation of Normal elections to select representatives. I have nominated myself for Class Rep post and I'm lovin it



Regards,
Hemanth

Awsome would be a word too small for the trip
Imagine drenching in the rain , getting into water falls ,scaling a big mountain(realised only after getting down)...reaching the peaks and be part of clouds

as hemanth rightly said experiences for a life time...

hemanth is sure shot win for CR as no one even nominated for the post
guy had done so much in the last one month as temp CR , that now his post would sure be permanent

I too standing for the post of school secratary for the "school of management and labour studies"(comprising SE,GL and HR)

electioon is on friday and should see how it goes......Got a couple of assuerances from the people that they will vote for me:w00t:

and yup...here the election process is very formal right from submitting the nomination,canvassing and restrictions on canvassing,24 hr dead line before election date for canvassing etc

will update after the election results

We went for a trek to a place near Lonavala and in simple words, the trip was awesome. Lot of masthi and fun on that day. We drenched in the rain, trekked the hills in mud filled roads, enjoyed the reverse waterfall and so much to say but short of words.

In one word : Memories for life time. The HRM culture rocks here. Now eagerly looking forward to Freshers party. There are many activities which need to be completed before that party as a part of tradition. I am not leaking those secrets now ;). You have to be here to feel the buzz in the campus

PEOPLE CAME TO A RAIN DANCE WITH UMBRELLAS ?!?!?!?!

Gosh, TISSians can do better than that !!! Good Luck with your Field Work Guys

Aditi...thanks for ur interest in TISS...but please do not post comments here..

sorry to post here in your thread,
If any of you guys can PM me your email id it will be of great help for me.
I am doin a research project for which I need some info and some perspective from HR people.

thanks in advance

Research in first sem itself ......all the best dude...sent u a PM check it out

we too are having a Mini research for "Social research and case analysis" subject with a weightage of 40 marks....will take some tips from u on research..so do well

Quick updates on happenings at campus:

placecom elections are happening right now......had couple of known faces from PG on the fray...will update once the process concludes (moi not contesting)

Tomoro's morning class got cancelled , so need to go to college only from 2'o clock...many plans ..might go for delly belly...should see how things work out

had got the deadline for submitting BE assignment till tomoro 10:30 Pm ..but lazy me..postponed it to tomoro(hope my group mates dont see this)

Had an awsome day at FW.....met 4 of the seniors there ...very much willing to help ....my head spinned with all the technical jargon they said.....and i thought once into HR , need not do much work on systems ,but those guys are glued to system all the time...and working beyond 7 PM(Not a good sign for days ahead)

would be getting a proper access card (need to swipe the card thrice even to go to loo), desk and most probably laptop by next week at field work
also would be allocated to project on "resourcing"...

there is a trek planned this saturday along with the seniors ...(seniors promised to take care of getting the 3 sessions cancelled ...have to see how it goes)

that's it for now

From the past 2 days there is too much discussion on weather forecast and chances of rain...

and on 2nd july ...the day started on a sunny note and there is anxiety every where ...for that it is that day the famed Meghmudra is to happen

the basket ball is ready and at 6:30 the event started ..the students(mostly seniors) made sure every one drenches by pouring water with buckets and pipe....but they were not reqd to put efforts for long...soon after first song , it rained like hell...and then the real party started which lasted with people from all courses dancing together like hell for the next four hrs....so the tradition continues and history repeats

thanks to meghmudra i danced for the first time in life on stage (ofcousre hardly for 20 sec...but that itself too much for me and on top of that danced for 4 hrs .....and what a fun it is ..


except for a few souls like hemanth...most of the people made sure that they keep their wallets and mobiles safe before venturing

and the most humorous part is some people (mostly from fairer sex;)) came to rain dance with umbrellas:w00t:

Friends,

I have the habbit of pulling Anchun's legs on a daily basis. This time I have done it on this forum, that's it .


Finally some updates from my side



Regards,
Hemanth

finally hemanth falling in line ::w00t:
For the uninitiated , Hemanth is my team mate for the last three years and unfortunately(for me) he followed me (naaa tagged along) to TISS and currently my room mate...

taking his suggestion, this time i prepared a script for posting the life at TISS in a more thrilling and blah blah way ...but he took the chance


fine any how 2 is always better than one ... :)

It is 1st july and all the students in the class are excited and waiting eagerly for the time to be 1:45 (thats when we are supposed to recieve our letters)
but as per the law of Indian standard times, the letters are not ready by that time and need to wait till 4:30 and top of that bear with the tortorous(atleast for me 'business statistics and quantitative analysis"
(BSQA) for 2 hrs

finally the time has come and there are shouts( BPCL,ABG,Seimens,NSE,Raymonds etc etc) , happiness,excitement, disappointments ...when the letters are handed over

and all this is not for some summer or final placements but for our 1st semester fieldwork allocations, which of course is done completely on a random basis ( FW is one concept which is unique to TISS and which distingushes itself from other elite B schools)......

i am allocated with Deutsche bank...so for the next 3 months my Mondays and tuesdays are allocated to it ......

;) A day of TISSIAN: (hmm..on second thoughts ...the day that is today..i know hemanth would groan at me ..but who cares)

waking up at 8:15 and starting from house at 8:45. when the first session is at 9..(yup...first years hardly get hostels so we stay in near by places to TISS)

reaching college at 8:51 and after a quick analysis and after remembering what prof said last week(that he would give a grace time of 10 mins to enter class) rushing to DH for breakfast only to find ur entire batch forming a long queue( all TISSIANS for that matter all MBA students are alike) and managing to reach class at nick of 9:10 ;)

after a long day of 3 sessions of 2 hrs each...finally free by 4 PM with assignment of business environment to be submitted by 10 PM fast approaching...rushing to cyber library to quickly finish the assignment so as to be back at the class by 6pm for seniors session on "field work"...but spending the entire 2 hrs browsing facebook, pagalguy .....

finally finishing the assignment with just 9 mins to spare at 9:51 pm... ...and posting proudly the update on FB.....

and happily posting on PG when having to read,analyse ,conclude a case of 21 pages (again of business environment) by 9 am in the morning ..........this is the day for me...

hemanth bhai thoda bahut sai bol raha hai ... suspense thrill style mein present karo details ;)

Hmm....this is what the problem is ..

Here (In India/company/college etc acc to context) people do give suggestions but rarely implement them

for all the gyaan given by Hemanth ..he rarely posts here....look at all other colleges ..and look at the TISS thread

we dont have any activity here and when some one (moi)wants to bring this thread to life ..people (read hemanth) complains...

any how this is not some movie so that i can some twists and all and neither i am good at it....

the suggestion by hemanth looks better...keep groaning and i will stop posting here or keep thanking and i will take as an encourangement...dont respond and i too will leave in some days (when the work overcomes me)....

so coming back to life at TISS:

we would be having "MEGHMUDHRA" this year on 2nd of july ...looking forward ..it seems it always rains on meghmudra..:w00t:

i feel like i am half management grad for that i am posting here aaram se when i have a dead line to submit assignment at 10 pm today and hell lot needs to be done and in b/w had a session with seniors on what to do in field work

and finally one dream come true that i can see TISS mumbai under my name

Hi future TISS aspirants,

Anchun is taking away all the excitement from you. It is better if you experience all this at first hand. So my suggestion is, Groan at Anchun's posts so that he will reduce the number of posts in this thread

There will be few things which should not to be disclosed ;)

Hemanth

or did i started giving reviews on eateries all around TISS???



chup chaap..concentrate on what u came to TISS for ..(which u and i very well know)

as is the custom in TISS..every junior is assigned a mentor from the senior batch for guidance ......

and my mentor is kavitha kamal

Hiya
As for placements, most firms offer lateral placements nowadays, but the challenge shall be to prove your worth...i.e your non-HR work exp should be packaged in a way that the firm approves of it as a value addon....
Cheers
Varun

sorry for asking a thing on quite a old post ... but I just joined with a purpose.

U said ur non-HR exp be packaged in a way ....can u elaborate it further. Lets have my personal example:

I am working as S/W tester in an IT organization so I hv an habit of cracking the system/functionality and deliver the things bugs free... so how this non-HR activity gonna help me further ...

I wanna out of IT as I dnt like a life void of interaction, help, working for cause, satisfaction.

Please do reply.

had our second interaction session yesterday

we do have a indoor badminton court here (wooden floor)...hope will be able to continue for a long time

tomoro evening we had our first formal commitee meeting (placecom)
