Infrastructure: TISS, Mumbai is in the suburb regions of Chembur. The campus is green and provides a refreshing and healthy experience. It has 19 hrs library facilities, sports and gym facilities, double sharing and quadrable sharing rooms, dining hall providing food which is nutritionally recommended by doctors, health centre and accessible cyber cafe.

Faculty: UPG is one of the best course offered by TISS, the faculty members are very qualified and they offer a very friendly and inclusive platform to learn and unlearn things on both personal and professional front. The assignments and field works enhances the understanding of the subjects. The evaluation techniques are quite friendly. Teachers find and ask students about their opinion to evaluate them. They support and manage the diverse student requirements. The course curriculum kind of lacks a job oriented approach, it is more research oriented.

Other: I am a B.Tech graduate having inclination towards social issues. I saw this course as an opportunity to widen my knowledge base and improve my skillset. The course structure can be improved by including more field base and working on project assignments and also I felt, 2 years weren't sufficient to understand all areas covered due to lack of prior knowledge, time and assignment management issues faced by diverse categories of students.
