Absolutely dissatisfied with the administration but we have good classmates.

Placements: We do not have placement cell for BA programs. Only Masters students are eligible. There are better placement opportunities in TISS Mumbai. I have heard this from my seniors. Although, in Guwahati campus the placement opportunities are not bad at all.

Infrastructure: The Wi-Fi is not that strong. It stops half of the time. The classroom and library is fine. The quality of hostel food is a little below average. The hostel rooms are fine, but the water quality is not good. There is no 24*7 water service. At least for some time the water stops, everyday. They say they have medical staff, but I have never seen them in the campus. The sports and games facilities are slowly improving.

Faculty: We mostly have guest faculty members and they are not really that good. They just come and teach for the sake of teaching. The teachers who had knowledge and were good, and they recently left TISS. We are in a position where we learn mostly from youtube. We have exams coming from the 4th of December (according to our academic calendar), but we haven't received our date sheet yet.

Review of Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Guwahati (TISS, Guwahati).

Placements: Placements for our batch, i.e., 2014-16, were good. Almost 70% of students were placed. The highest salary offered was Rs. 60,000 per month. The lowest salary offered was Rs. 15,000 per month. Companies like HCL Foundation, Tata Trusts, etc., visited the campus for placements. Roles of project coordinator, programme manager, etc., were offered.

Infrastructure: Facilities like Wi-Fi, labs, library, classrooms and medical, etc., were available on the campus at free of cost. The quality of labs and classrooms was really good. The food served in the canteen was good and they provided better facilities. Hostel rooms were good and Wi-Fi enabled. Since the hostel was in a rented house, the infrastructure was good but not up to expectations.

Faculty: The teachers of TISS Guwahati Campus was really helpful, very well qualified and knowledgeable. The teaching quality was fantastic and it was a holistic approach. The ratio of faculty and student was 30%1. The course curriculum was useful which led to the exposure of the students.

Other: Extracurricular activities conducted on the campus were good and exciting.

It is the best social science institute in India.

Placements: Around 75% of the students who applied for placements got placed with the highest salary package of 6.5 LPA. The top recruiter for our college is Tata Trusts. A huge range of roles are provided by this course, and they are policy-making, think tanks, NGOs, fellowship, CSR and grassroots organisations. Every student gets an internship in organisations including corporates like Godrej, HCL, CEAT, ActionAid, IGSSS, NRL, Oxfam and Kudumbashree.

Infrastructure: There is a cyber library as well as a library. The campus has a Wi-Fi facility, and even the hostels have a Wi-Fi facility. It is a social science institute, so it doesn't have any laboratory. However, frequent field visits are organised to soothe the course modules. Services provided in the hostel are average.

Faculty: Faculty members available in the institute are an asset. All of them are PhD holders, which signifies their quality of teaching. They are always ready to help despite their hectic schedules. The course curriculum is relevant to the contemporary scenario. It grooms students for the roles which they aspire to attain in the job market.
