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.
