Aaah, it's been almost a year for me at TISS now, and it's been a good one!
I didin't even know about TISS when I half-decided to do an MBA...and most B-school aspirants don't. TISS is a niche insti, - only HR, more like a univ. with HR being just another course, M.A. degree - But more or less everyone who gets into the HRM & LR program comes looking for an MBA degree.
The industry treats us like standard B-schoolers for placements and work; even I thought we were a B-school in a Social science insti's disguise.
But my summer internship at Wipro & stay at IIM B more or less proved me wrong. why? :
1. We are a LOT more chilled out than any B-school of our stature - while people at IIMs, XL, FMS, etc. slog it out, most of us while away time walking on marine drive or partying in Bandra.
2. We DO NOT have Relative Grading - our curriculum focuses more on reflection and learning, rather than cut throat competition, some profs do GRILL n STRETCH us - but compared to the crazy rat race at other B-school's we are way better off.
3. We ARE NOT an Engineer's Haven (most B-schools have over 90% of the batch as enggs) - only a minority %age of our batch is made up of enggs. - we have a diverse background with tons people gradding in from DU, JNU in physics, chem, Japanese, Chinese, Bcom, BA, Psycho.......
4. We are FEMALE FRIENDLY - not just the 60 string HR batch,but pretty much all courses at TISS have a 60:40 ratio, in favor of the ladies. Unlike the 10:90 at most other B-schools.
5. We are not GLOBING MBA's - the HR course being just one course at TISS, not even it's flagship course, we get to study in a University like environment, along with student's from a wide array of backgrounds and fields of study.
And now, the best part:
In spite of our dissimilarity to other B-school's, we get paid as much :D. We had an avg. of 13.4l, for arnd 48 students, ranging between abt 10l to 22l. The best IIMs have say 16, for 400 wid sm ppl bagging a few crores and others abt 8-9l; if u take out the outliers - the median salary comes out to be pretty much the same.
And did I mention that we pay less than 2l as fees?!
Hey do u have docs in ur HR course & how do they fare?
