Amazing infrastructure, experienced faculty members, and more than enough opportunities.

Faculty: Faculty members are amazing with a very good industrial experience. The jury which is exam season is based on creativity and confidence in your design. Faculty trains us for real-world perfection, work, and handling rejection. Exam season is stressful but creativity is at its peak with fabulous design on display.

I liked the hostel as it is clean, well equipped, and very affordable.

Faculty: Faculty to student Ratio is quite good, as I can say that for every 30 students, there were 4 faculty members, or 1 faculty member for every 6 to 7 students. The faculty was very friendly and approachable. I personally liked Shridhar sir and Deepak Abnave sir, they can be the best faculty we have.

Alumni Network is amazing. It is widely spread and very strong in the industry.

Faculty: Faculty was very approachable and friendly. They guide you through projects and courses. They were always available for students and found the best opportunities for them. They were all people who work in the industry or have worked with a huge network. This makes them incredible. Teaching methods were mostly practical and on the ground. Some projects challenge your brain in affiliated courses. They have exams at the end of the semester. There are also electives available.

The best part of the course was its esteemed and renowned faculty members.

Faculty: I do not have the idea about the faculty student ratio, but the relationship between students and faculty was very strong. The faculty was always ready for students. I do not know the name, but there was one faculty. I do not like it because they want only students who know about that field, but if you do not teach the new students how they know about that field, and all faculty members were slightly biased towards CSAI students decisions.

Valuable for college coaching.

Faculty: Dignified teachers had enormous knowledge about the subjects. Deals with the students patiently which made us induce our interested in learning. They preferred to deliver conceptual learning rather than textbook teaching. Also, our teachers had enormous knowledge about the usage of social media.

Review of Post Graduate Diploma in HR and Administration course at Tata Institute of Social Sciences

Faculty: Teachers are supportive from the admission process to course completion. They give more importance to the low-grade students, and they give advice to them often. Usually, they handle practical classes rather than explaining the theoretical concepts. Teachers are offered good pay.

Review of Post Graduate Diploma in HR and Administration at Tata Institute of Social Sciences.

Faculty: Tata Institute of Social Sciences is a multi-campus university that should be even ranked by NIRF and enroll in various specialisations.

The best college for M.A. in Social Work (Children & Families) Course.

Faculty: The course curriculum is highly relevant to the industry standards, making us industry-ready. I miss my university days because of the support of our teachers, whose lectures were the best and always aimed at our development. All the teachers are highly educated and masters of their subjects. Exams are taken semester by semester, and the pass percentage is 65% for written exams and internships.

Most beautiful place in Mumbai.

Faculty: College professors are top-class; everyone is working for society. Willing to give something for society they are kind, intelligent and supportive. Many run NGO work for public welfare. Curriculum are easy 2 years, 4 semesters, many exams but general situation-based questions asked in paper. Anyone with basic knowledge can clear subjects.
