This college has very friendly teachers, and all the staff are also good.

Faculty: Teachers are the best. For medical courses, they are professionals, including doctors and lab technicians who are well educated. They teach us in English. If some students are not comfortable, they also repeat the lesson in Hindi or Marathi as needed. This course is best because in the medical field, we help people get better and provide reports on their health problems. Exams are difficult, but if you study hard, they become easy. There are no percentages. Instead, there are grades, and 4 out o...

Strong faculty support with an industry-focused curriculum.

Faculty: Lecturers were skilled, experienced, and helpful, so they provided a good mixture of theory and practice. The courses provided an industry-appropriate curriculum that developed students' real-world skills. Semester examinations were somewhat challenging, and approximately 85 to 90% of all examinees completed their semester examinations.

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.

A college with moderate growth.

Faculty: The faculty members were often involved in proposing various projects after doing a lot of research. These researches were highly beneficial to our studies and facts, as real-time examples for the syllabus that we had studied theoretically. The schedule for examinations was introduced once in three months.

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.

Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai BA admission is not open for offline mode admission. This is because candidates cannot register for CUET-UG in offline mode which is mandatory for BA admission.

Candidates will need to register through CUET-UG's NTA portal.

No refund policy has been mentioned by TISS Mumbai for BSc admission cancellation. Candidates will need to ask admission desk for confirmation on this question.

Generally, candidates are offered refunds based on UGC norms where only a percentage of fees paid is refunded upon cancelling admission.
