Best college to spend a wonderful life . It has reputation because of its work.

Excellence in terms of education. A very prestigious institute of South East Asia

Had my interview there and that is very very hard to believe when you see so very cooperating staff standing everywhere and waiting to answer to your queries.

The campus is wonderful . I was here for jagriti yatra and loved their indoor stadium

Positive corporation from TISS-SVE team.
Best educational institute in India.
honoured to be a part of this institute !!!

A great place to study as well as work. The atmosphere in the campus is very calm. The old campus has a distinct feel to it.

One of the best campus in India. The campus change in a most positive way. The green campus is rare in Mumbai. TISS is a great place for Research degrees like M.Phil and PhD. Being a alumni of TISS I am fully satisfied with my course and great college life experience. This is the most beautiful place to explore u from within. I like the TISS tag line and I tell you it s a fact. Teachers, non-teaching staff, DH staff, hostel staff everything is wonderful. One of the most vibrating campus for social and political life with its own TISS Culture! Globally recognised for its immense quality of research. A TISS student become change maker not follower! Proud of being a TISSian!

My association with TISS goes way back to 1969. I joined TISS on 22nd December 1969 as a UGC JRF for my doctoral research. I was in the campus till July 1973, the year I finished my work. Finally submitted my thesis on 19th November 1973 and got my Ph.D degree finally on 5th May 1974. I have very fond memories of my days spent in TISS. The best part has been the enabling enviornment of the Institute which allows people to live their dreams. All this could not have been possible without the enabling leadership of late Prof. M. S. Gore and my research guide and mentor Prof. K. G. Desai. They have played a very important role in shaping my life. I am sure TISSians accross the genarations would agree with me.

Tiss complex is lush green beyond expectation in mumbai.

I live in BARC and these hostel shitkids make sounds at around 1am or 2am like retards don't even have manner like honestly why the hell they make so much sound at late night ? What are the hotel warden doing actually I don't know if it's hostel of guest house but the building looks grey and has big windows sounds comes from there

The best and the quietest and greenest University and College Campuses in Mumbai. The college is popular for Human Resource and Social Studies related courses. The college is most sort after college for students wanting to pursue PhDs. Besides full time Graduation and Post Graduation Courses they offer multiple Short term programs as well. Do check out their website

Excellent campus, serene atmosphere for knowledge seekers. TISS Campus and deemed University is in Deonar, Mumbai. It is a Deemed University and is Asia's oldest Institute for professional Social Sciences education, founded in 1936, by Sir Dorabji Tata Trust. Long live Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS). Good Luck.

This is an amazing place with full accessibility for Disabled and senior citizens beautiful garden with greenery and great service social sciences and social work education are amazing. Center for disability studies are available. Library is fully accessible for disabled community. High speed internet connection available. A great place to study and practice. I am founder member of I access initiative of this organisation lead by professor Vaishali kolhe. We did accessibility audit for tiss in 2013 and help many disabled community students to study in an accessible environment. Simply love this place.

Wonderful place to study. Lots of scope for students in education and special fellowship for students.

Being educated in TISS impacts what and who would you become next in life. This institute always teaches things with humanitarian values. The course work is real life based scenario learning and the faculties encourage students to learn things on their own while doing things. What best way to learn a policy or process by actually using or implementing it in your day to day approach!

TISS offers non conventional courses to students who come from different walks of like. This institute does not informs of you of its legacy, its alumni do that by being a living example of the same.

Each course, each school is unique. This school makes you think and challenge spoon fed schooling style. It reignites the curiosity in its approach of imparting education and pushes the students to learn by asking questions.

There is no correct answer to a social issue or concern. Every one can come up with whats best fit according to situational interpretation (except, pls dont try that while answering theoretical answers).

The life at campus instills sense of freedom of thought, encourages students to build their approaches in humane way and yes, definitely shares the reality bites without sugar coating.

one of the india's best campuses for social work related courses. Awesome campus and best professors with good life.

This place located opp deonar bus depo there have many types of luture and GNO work also

The service provide on call that is the enquiry department is pathetic. It s very sad that the operators are very rude n manner less

TISS was established in 1936, as the Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work, the first school of social work in India. It was renamed to its current name in 1944. It was recognised as a Deemed University in 1964 [10] by the University Grants Commission of India. TISS started out as a small institute offering a post-graduate diploma in Social Work, but has since expanded continuously in terms of educational programmes and infrastructure (see list of programs). The first director of the institute was Clifford Manshardt, who aimed to establish a post-graduate social work school of national stature that would engage in a continuous study of Indian social issues and create meaningful interventions.

Over the years, the Institute has, among other thrusts, made a significant contribution to policy, planning, action strategies and human resource development. It has done so in several areas, ranging from sustainable rural and urban development to education, health, communal harmony, human rights and industrial relations. TISS has earned recognition as an institution of repute from different Ministries of the Government of India and various State Governments, as well as international agencies such as the United Nations, and the non-government sector, both national and international.[citation needed]

Best global universities and are the only international university performance....

Top university in India for HR education, Development studies, Humanities, Liberal arts, Social studies..

On the helpline number the lady is very rude.
She is there to help but cuts out phone each time saying check the website for information. Then what is the use of helpline number when they dont want to help.

This institution has a legacy of over 75 years and has produced many personalities and shaped many careers. It provides quality education, experience and exposure to the untouched and unheard subjects of education and profession.

Awesome place to pursue MA in Human Resources and Labour Management. (Equivalent to MBA)

A place of new dreams and aspirations. Faculty here are highly talented, very humble and supportive. Feeling proud of TISSian

Google asks me to "describe my experience" here. And my experience is beyond description.
But you know what, it's not at all problem; because they don't care.
They don't care about you, me or any student for that matter.

I am obliged to be a part of this Institute. Proud to be a TISSIAN.

A DREAM INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL WORKERS AND Social Entrepreneurs...

The first school of social work in India, provides information about the M.Phil and PhD programs, admission requirements, research in social sciences and more,

After spending two years in TISS, I will need a blogpost to write. Comment section is not enough to cover TISS.

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) was established in 1936 as the Sir Dorabji Tata Graduate School of Social Work. In 1944, it 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 declared Deemed to be a University under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act (UGC), 1956.

Since its inception, the Vision of the TISS has been to be an institution of excellence in higher education that continually responds to changing social realities through the development and application of knowledge, towards creating a people-centred, ecologically sustainable and just society that promotes and protects dignity, equality, social justice and human rights for all.

The best place in world where a student can get lot of experience and practical knowledge
BA-1 in tiss tuljapur

The place has been a part of my life since almost a decade but since a few years have been frequently visiting the institution mainly for studies and now whenever needed i do go visit. The place is always neat and tidy so kudos to the maintenance team and their hard work. The entire environment puts you in a different mood all the green cover around you makes you feel better and also enhances the quality of the place so do go visit if you get a chance.

Serene place with old architecture and trees all around to study and chat!
