Remarks :
This programme I am enrolled provides an wide array of subjects ranging from basic maths, statistics, hindi/Assamese (option is provided between the local language and hindi) and all disciplines that come under social science. Tata Institute of Social Science is one of the premiere social science institute in India with renowned faculty.
Course Curriculum Overview :
TISS has a great selection of syllabus which is updated frequently. The subjects are relevant to today's environment, although there is no subject of geography even though it comes under social sciences. The faculty is friendly and helpful but the administration overall is not up to the level.
Internships Opportunities :
During the second year of bachelors, there is a compulsory internship to be done by all students. I interned in Prantakatha, an NGO based in Kolkata. Taking of stipend was prohibited.
Placement Experience :
The institute provides on campus placements but only for post graduate students. As the institute is of social sciences a lot of NGOs come for jobs. Apart from NGOs, MNCs like wipro, hcl have also come.
College Events :
All funds are received from TISS mumbai campus, which is the main administrative branch. Hence, there is a lot of problem when it comes to organizing extra curricular activities as we have to wait for the approval and funding from Tiss mumbai.
Campus Life :
Our campus is still in the process of building, it is yet to be completed and might take another year or two to be a full fledged one. Hostel was outside the campus and has been recently shifted inside the campus.
Hostel Facilities :
The hostel has been recently shifted inside the campus and is fairly new and in good condition. It hs six floors with a terrace prohibited for students. A flat consisting of 4 rooms and two washrooms is provided to be shared among seven/eight girls. Since, boys are numerically less in the institute a flat might be given to share among 4/5 boys only. The dining room is common for both boys and girls is located in the ground floor. One Elevator for girls hostel and one for boys is provided.
