Tata Institute of Social Sciences Inks MoU With Pernod Ricard India Foundation
April 13, 2022: The Pernod Ricard India Foundation announced today a collaboration with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) and the Collective Good Foundation (CGF) to develop India's first Academic-Corporate Fellowship Program for the transgender population. This programme will systemically enable transpeople from underprivileged communities across India to carve out their own business careers.
Transpeople are frequently forced to take on menial jobs in society due to inequitable access to education and skills, and they continue to confront major socioeconomic and cultural barriers on their path to financial independence and employment in the corporate workforce. Furthermore, due to constraints such as a high bar for minimal education and experience, as well as a dearth of gender-neutral rules, systems, and infrastructures, and low societal acceptance, only a few transpeople advance to executive and managerial positions in their corporate career

Furthermore, due to constraints such as a high bar for minimal education and experience, as well as a dearth of gender-neutral rules, systems, and infrastructures, and low societal acceptance, only a few transpeople advance to executive and managerial positions in their corporate careers.
This fellowship programme will give them the necessary training and exposure to prepare them for managerial and higher-level jobs in the corporate ladder. Transgender people between the ages of 18 and 25 can apply for the programme, and there is no requirement for applicants to have a higher degree. These applications will be shortlisted via an online procedure, which will be followed by a round of group talks and personal interviews. The first cohort of 20 fellows is scheduled to begin on July 1st. Applications for the one-year Fellowship are now being accepted and will close on April 30, 2022.
The one-year fellowship programme is split into two parts. The first phase aims to develop theoretical knowledge and workplace skills through 6 months of immersive classroom training and project work led by TISS faculty and mentors. It will be followed by six months of hands-on workplace immersion through internships with major corporations and non-profits to give broad exposure and experiential learning. Each fellow will get a total stipend of INR 2,40,000, as well as INR 96,000 for travel and lodging over the year. Throughout both periods, fellows will receive ongoing emotional and psychosocial support, as well as career coaching from experienced LGBTQIA+ professionals, corporate, industrial, and non-profit leaders.
TISS will issue completion certificates to the fellows upon successful graduation. This will offer them with solid credentials that will allow them to be considered for corporate membership. In addition, the fellows will be encouraged in developing their long-term goals, and the programme will aim to create corporate placements for interested fellows in collaboration with Pride Circle.

He reinforced Tata ClassEdge's commitment to deliver ‘end to end’ solutions to schools and instructors, as well as training and empowering teachers through their training wing, ClassEdge Academy, by referring to the many online teaching solutions given by ClassEdge.
Prof. Padma Sarangapani, Chairperson of CETE, spoke at the event, emphasising the need of integrating ICT in teaching, empowering teachers to become self-reliant, and achieving learning outcomes through technology-integrated teaching. TISS and Tata ClassEdge both reaffirmed their commitment to supporting teacher knowledge development, particularly in core courses, as well as working toward teachers' professional development through pedagogical approaches and digital integration.

Placements: I can state with confidence that the BBA in media and communication program is genuinely having a transformation for me. With packages ranging between 3.5 LPA and 9 LPA, the average is 5.5 LPA for my batch. 80-90 percent of our batch was placed. While many of my peers were selected in reputed companies like Viacom, Disney, and NDTV. A Media Planner, social media, and public relations job was offered. I really thank you for giving such industry exposure and for giving such practical knowledge.
Placements: There's a full guarantee of placements as students generally get recruited at the same places where they do internships. Internships are offered in big fashion brands and designers like Manish Malhotra, Anita Dongre, etc. Students get to work closely with these designers.
Placements: In last semester, students were eligible for campus placements, a lot of NGOs visited the campus, and a few companies visited the campus, the most famous one being ICICI Bank and SBI. Earlier, the UN also used to come, but since COVID, they have not come. Nearly all the students who wish to get a job were placed. The highest package this year was at 9 LPA in Masters course.
Placements: WWI has a Placement Cell that keeps a track of opportunities for students. There was a mandatory internship that students needed to complete after the completion of sem 4 before sem 5 commenced. Students can also get internships during the winter break during semester 5. There were various live projects that students can work on depending on their interests and experience during the academic year. Final Placement opportunities are posted to students during sem 6, where students need to list them...

There were almost 30+ companies that came to make offers, and I do not recall the names, but almost 34 LPA is the highest package they offer, and some lucky students also got 80 LPA package. Almost 80% students get placed.
