Hi,
The National Eligibility Test conducted by Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISSNET), is the first step towards pursuing the reputed institutes M. A. programmes.
Once the TISSNET is over, the next hurdle is to cross the Pre-Interview Test and Personal Interview, which plays a major role in the selection of candidates for its various PG programmes.
But that's not the only test that the aspirants have to face. The Pre-Interview Test and Personal Interview round are equally crucial and gruelling for the candidates. In a way, the candidates will have to continue preparing for it.
For those who are wondering what is PIT/PI and how to approach it, here's an overview:
PIT or the Pre-Interview Test is essentially an essay writing test. The 45-mark question paper consists of two sections: 1.Essay 2. Short case-let
The essay section carries 30 marks and the topics of the essay will range from issues on current socio-economic, geo-political scenarios to matters of cultural and political significance.
The candidates must realise that there is no right or wrong answer on topics like these. They will be assessed on their ability articulate their opinion on the given topic in a crisp and succinct manner. Hence, they must read a lot and practice to present their thoughts in clean sentences in short duration.
The section of the short-let case is designed to test the candidate's social awareness and sensitivity to complex issues. The 20 mark section will have four questions based on a case-let to be answered within the stipulated time.
