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 Manshardts 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:
  1. Value-based professional education for social work and other human service professions;
  2. Social research and dissemination of socially relevant knowledge;
  3. Social intervention through training and field action projects;
  4. Contribution to social and welfare policy and programme formulation at state, national and international levels; and
  5. 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.

Hi can u please give us some idea of the pattern of the test and essay questions asked.

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.
  1. School of Health Systems Studies: It offers Master's programmes in Health Administration and Hospital Administration, as well as a Diploma in Hospital Administration.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. School of Social Sciences :It conducts MA programmes in Development Studies and Education (Elementary).
  5. 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
i checked TISS website..but nothing given abt d admission procedure for d 2008 batch..like d application form ..its last date..wen s d exam..reply if u guys have ny idea..
thanks

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.

Capitalism : Economic system in which means of production is privately owned and operated for profit.
Socialism: System where distribution of wealth is controlled by community. The community owns the means of production.
Communism: Seeks socialist state and wants to establish equality in distribution of wealth etc.
Marxism: Marx said that the transition from capitalistic to socialistic society will take time and there will be a transition time where there will be revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat.
From wikipedia :
According to Marxism, capitalism is a system based on the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie (the "capitalists", who own and control the means of production). This exploitation takes place as follows: the workers, who own no means of production of their own, must seek jobs in order to live. They get hired by a capitalist and work for him, producing some sort of goods or services. These goods or services then become the property of the capitalist, who sells them and gets a certain amount of money in exchange. One part of the wealth produced is used to pay the workers' wages, while the other part (surplus value) is split between the capitalist's private takings (profit), and the money used to pay rent, buy supplies and renew the forces of production. Thus the capitalist can earn money (profit) from the work of his employees without actually doing any work, or in excess of his own work. Marxists argue that new wealth is created through work; therefore, if someone gains wealth that he did not work for, then someone else works and does not receive the full wealth created by his work. In other words, that "someone else" is exploited. Thus, Marxists argue that capitalists make a profit by exploiting workers.
Leninism :
Lenin argued that the proletariat can only achieve a successful revolutionary consciousness through the efforts of a Communist Party comprised of full-time professional revolutionaries. Lenin further believed that such a party could only achieve its aims through a form of disciplined organization known as democratic centralism, wherein Communist Party officials are elected democratically, but once they are elected, all party members must abide by their decisions.
Leninism holds that capitalism can only be overthrown by revolutionary means; that is, any attempts to reform capitalism from within, such as Fabianism (advocates attaining socialism via reforms rather than violence) and non-revolutionary forms of democratic socialism, are doomed to fail.
The goal of a Leninist party is to orchestrate the overthrow of the existing government by force and seize power on behalf of the proletariat, and then implement a dictatorship of the proletariat. The party must then use the powers of government to educate the proletariat, so as to remove the various modes of false consciousness the bourgeois have instilled in them in order to make them more docile and easier to exploit economically, such as religion and nationalism.
The dictatorship of the proletariat is theoretically to be governed by a decentralized system of proletarian direct democracy, in which workers hold political power through local councils known as soviets
Communist govts in India: Kerala, West Bengal...??
Communist/Left Govts in the world: Brazil, Venezuela, Bolivia, Peoples republic of China, Chile, Russia. Anything more?

i think its better fror us to have some good discussions here rather than the routine how was last year etc. u can find them in the 2007-09 thread. Juast go through them and you ll have a fair idea of the entire process.

To start with , we can post a few articles on HR that appear in the newspapers.
then we can discuss about it. Chaos/Talky sandeep and others can probably tell us about the latest happenings in HR and the different subjects / books / functions of HR.
