Hi Puys,
After much search and asking, I could not find an active thread for puys qualified for TISS (MHA)-either health/hospital , 2010.
Since I am one of them, this is a small initiative to get together n help each other, preparing for the grand Interview.
Hope this will help all aspirants.
Shoot your queries or share information. .Lets make this thread as interactive and helpful as any. :)
Thank you.

Also,

I've been in touch with a few seniors, they had to say this :

1. The most important thing in interview is to convince the panel, as to why you are so keen in doing the course.
2. Be honest; should you not know something, honestly admit that you do not know.
3. Do not get into arguments with the members of the panel.
4. Should have a little knowledge about the course that you are getting into.
5.Be abreast with current affairs.

folks, thats all...any more info, will post it here...
All the best :

Hi there,
Congrats for clearing the written part !
The DAF will be available on the website from the first of Feb/Monday . so dont worry about it.
Also you should know something about the subject you've applied for.
If you've applied for 2 subjects, then you should be able to justify why you've applied for 2 and convince the panel. Also, you should be able to convince which subject is your priority n why. So, think over and have clear thoughts.
the most important fact is you should convince that you actually want to do that particular course...that you really are interested in it...

all the best...should I know more about it, will post it right here !

hey,
congrats for clearing the written.
MHA : if its Health : then "Preventive & Social Medicine" by Park n Park.
this is one bible sorts of book for you. there are few important chapters that you need to cover.
If it is Hospital : then no specific book...just internet would suffice.
But definitely you need to know a bit about the subject you've applied for.
Also, be abreast with the latest current affairs.
regarding...MPH...need to find out...will let you know...
all the best:)

hey
i hv qualified for gd / pi for masters of hospital administration.
does anyone know how many hv they called for this course??
and i am a fresher.. do i stand a chance?? how should we prepare..??

well this is what i read on a last year thread on tiss-mha discussion..
i think this would be helpful in preparind for pi:
"well, i talked to 1st year Mha student. acc to him the only thing wich matters 4 selection is to show how keenly u r intrested to do this course. 1 shd b very well prepared 4 questions from acades.
also regardin the schemes started by govt (like National rural health mission)
social issues regardin Health
little knowlege abt WHO"

Hi there, congrats for clearing the written part.
Well how many have qualified still remains a question...but as far what seniors have said, one particular year 5-7 times the no. of seats and another year about 10 times the no. of seats were called for d interview.
read the previous posts, I've mentioned a book, which though is must for HE, but as seniors say, can be useful in HO also.

yes, surf the net and know little more about HO management. Also be aware of recent news updates n Govt health policies in general.
Though work ex. has an edge, seniors have mentioned that in their batch they have a fair no. of freshers also. So, don't worry about that !

should you have any useful info, please post it here !
All the best !

Dear All,

Congrats to all of you who have made to the TISS GD/PI.

I have also appeared and have been selected to attend PI for Hospital Administration,Health Administration & for Public Health.

I have absolutely no idea as to how to start preparing for them.
To Start with I would like to know whats the difference between Public Health & Health Administration.

Apart from convincing the interview panel abt the interest in the course,

Any specific advice and question on
1. Hospital Administration
2. Health Administration
3. Public Health

I will keep you guys posted with any info that i get ......

hey no issues sajanjiv,
I think there is a separate thread for MHA course details

hi swati
The pi is generally based on ur biographical sketch and Why Tiss essay.
For Health Administration u shud have knowledge abt the government schemes,their implementatio.My friend was asked 'what is the biggest problem area in ryral health sector' He said Child health and explained it with details,facts.figures n personal experience.
