Humanities & Social Sciences

Hello,
Goswami Ganesh Dutta Sanatan Dharmendra or GGDSD College was established in Chandigarh in the eighties of last century. This is a co-ed college which offered numerable courses in all the three branches viz. humanities, science and commerce. The college is affiliated to Punjab University. This college has great reputation in the city of Chandigarh as well as whole of North India as center of excellence. On the other hand PG Government College for Girls was formed in 1956. It is situated in sector 11 of Chandigarh and is affiliated to Panjab University. This institute provides excellent facilities of academics as well as extracurricular activities to its girl students. This college offers courses at undergraduate as well as post graduate levels in humanities, commerce and science. It boasts of alumnis in different walks of life. To conclude, both these colleges are from Chandigarh and are affiliated to Panjab University. Both have excellent academic records and present faculty is great. Girl students for whom co-ed is ok should take admission in GGDSD along with boys while those girls who want exclusive girl's college can opt for a PG college.

Hello,
National Post Graduate College was established in capital of UP by the intervention of the then CM of UP in the year 1974. Since then college has come a long way to establish itself as an institute of learning amongst large number of other colleges in the city. Though initially it began as post graduate institute but today it offers degrees, diplomas and certificate courses in diverse fields. This institution was given status of Autonomous institute along with tag of 'College with Potential for Excellence'. On the other hand Isabella Thoburn College began its innings as a school for girls in one room for seven girl's way back in year 1870. Slowly but steadily it kept on shifting to bigger and bigger buildings before settling in present location. This exclusive college for women was attached to Calcutta University initially but then shifted to Lucknow University when it was formed. This college boasts of great history and big line of alumni's. Even today the college is famous for dedicated faculty.To conclude, I would say that both colleges are having best of the faculty. But those girl students desirous of studying in only girl's college can seek admission here while those for boys and those girls who don't mind studying joining a co-ed institute can seek admission in National PG institute.

The Institute of Archaeology under the aegis of Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), New Delhi, conducts a two year Post Graduate Diploma in Archaeology. The eligibility of entry to this program includes a Master's degree in Ancient or Medieval Indian History, Anthropology, or Archaeology from a recognized university. Students holding a Master's degree in classical languages or geology can also apply for this programme.
Archaeology in itself is a vast field and different roles are based on the area of specialization. The major branches of study in archaeology include:
Archaeobotany - Study of plant remains to ascertain agricultural practices of that time, food habits of the people, and climatic conditions thereof.
Archaeometry is the application of analytical engineering principles and processes to archaeology.
Archaeozoology - Branch of archaeology that looks into the remains of animals and related aspects such as their health, domestication, hunting practices, and so on.

Major Recruiters –
1. Archaeological Survey of India (ASI)
2. Indian Council of Historical Research (ICHR)
3. National Museum
4. Universities and colleges
5. Government and private museums and cultural galleries

Both of these are premier institutions for arts and science courses. They are widely preferred by many students as they are top ranked ones.
But when we compare MCC and Ethiraj, MCC is better.
The college is affiliated to the University of Madras but functions as an autonomous institution (deemed university) from its campus in Tambaram, Chennai. MCC has several civil servants, administrators, educators, business people and political leaders, around the world among its professors and alumni. It is accredited by NAAC. It is Ranked 6 for Arts by The Week and Ranked 7 for science by India Today.
The student reviews are also really good which is one of the important criteria for the selection of a good college.

Hi,
Here is the preparation strategy for TISSNET to avoid some of the common mistakes in the exam:
Getting through HRM & LR programme at TISS Mumbai involves three stages:
TISSNET
Group Discussion and Essay
Personal Interview
TISSNET: It is an online aptitude exam and is divided in three sections (weightage is roughly equal for each section, though subject to change every year):
Quant: If you are already preparing for other management exams then you will find the Quantitative Aptitude questions to be fairly easy. However, if you are only aiming for TISSNET then I would suggest you to cover all Quant topics that are covered in management exams. You only need to practice low-medium level of difficulty questions.
Also, in 2016, the paper had some questions based on Data Interpretation, therefore, again I would suggest you to be well-versed with different types of questions in DI on the low-medium difficulty scale.
Verbal: Verbal section again is fairly easy. You need to have a decent command over the language to score full in this section. Be well-versed with basic Reading Comprehension passages.
General Knowledge: This is the make or break section in TISSNET. The GK is both current and static and covers areas ranging from economics to geography to politics. Therefore, your preparation on the subject should be thorough. I suggest you to do the following to prepare the section:
Read newspapers daily
Solve online GK questions covering all areas (The Aspirants Committee of HRM & LR, TISS Mumbai posts sample General Knowledge questions every alternate day on Facebook)
Be well versed with the new laws
Read up in detail about the government schemes
Additional Information:
Practice sample question papers (Extremely Important, also focus on speed)
The cutoff is high (based on the difficulty level), therefore, aim at scoring full marks in Quantitative and Verbal section.
Personal Interview:
Personal Interview is the game changer for getting into the course. Therefore, lay a strong focus on its preparation.
This part of the answer is just to you give you a sense of the characteristics the interviewers might be looking for in a prospective HR student and will not jot down the entire half an hour interview because the questions can vary from person to person and the assessment criteria for the interview is confidential. So, there are no fixed questions and no questions that the coaching centers have prepared you for.
