@vkgb Okay, so you have had some interaction with seniors then. So what else they had to say about the course?

My primary concern is how am I going to prove to the panel my intent to do a course in Media while I come from an engineering background.

hi..i got a call for MCS and Dev Studies, missed HR. I'm on the fence about what to do. I always wanted to go for dev studies, but I'm not sure about how the placement scenario is like. Im currently working in IT and already have an MBA in Marketing from IISWBM Kolkata(09-11). I've always nurtured the idea of working for some multilateral dev organisation like the UN, UNICEF, WHO, World Bank, ADB, IDB etc, but i'm not sure whether these organisations do recruit from TISS...also, i understand the interviews are mostly academic in nature, and MCS attracts students with a strong background in Media (I checked out the current batch, they seem to be very geared towards media from the very beginning of their careers, so Im not sure whether I can carve a niche). For DS, the onus is on economics, and me being from an engg background, am not very conversant in that (though studied a couple of papers on Eco during MBA). Could anyone shed a light on the career prospects of these courses? That would help a lot.
