TISS Tata Institute of Social Sciences: 12 answered questions

Which B-school should I join if I have converted TISS, SJMSOM (IITB) and NITIE?

Raktim Ghose

11 Aug 21

All three colleges are on top and choosing one among three is not easy. But I can give you some ideas about them as I have friends studying at these institutes. TISS is one of the most reputed colleges for HRM courses in the country. The top two institutes for HR programs are XLRI and 2nd is TISS. XLRI holds first place due to its history and huge batch size and placements.

TISS is growing fast but still doesn’t have the same presence as XLRI has.
TISS though has the advantage of a very small batch size compared to XLRI, which means lesser competition.
And again TISS is at Bombay while XLRI is at Jamshedpur. I would say TISS is still a very good option for aspirants interested in HR.

NITIE and SOM are the top two colleges in India for operations and supply chain profiles with NITIE being the clear number 1.

Long history and a huge batch size result in lots of senior supply chain managers from NITIE across various companies.
On the other hand, though 20 years old, SOM was upgraded only recently, to 120 batch size from earlier 60.Students are getting to the top but SOM does not have the same presence as NITIE.
NITIE has more recruiting companies with cushy pay packages as compared to SOM. Although SOM is improving its placement numbers rapidly.
SOM does boast of elegant IIT B infrastructure and less batch size and hence, lesser competition due to smaller batches.
But NITIE would give you more options in terms of placements.

So my preference order will be the following.

TISS (HR) > NITIE (Operations & SCM) > SJMSOM (Finance & others)

So, choose wisely based on your preferred domain. And in case you are interested in Marketing, both NITIE & SJMSOM are equally good.

How do the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, and XIMB measure up to the established ones of XLRI, TISS, MDI and SCMHRD?

Apoorv Ashutosh

11 Jan 23

The simple answer to your question is no, the new HR programs of IIM Ranchi, NMIMS, or XIMB are not at par with the established ones XLRI, TISS, MDI, and SCMHRD. The established programs especially that of XLRI are the epitome of HR programs. They cannot be compared to the new ones at any given level or parameter.

Faculty: The professors of XLRI are renowned throughout the industry for their competency. They specialize in almost every domain one can think of be it Law, Competency Modeling, Compensation, or Performance Management.
Peers: It’s the cream students who get the opportunity to get into a prestigious college like XLRI. You can see tough competition between the finest students at college. Every individual has a valuable opinion and stands to contradict others. Their thinking pattern is broad and given a case study, they look at all angles from accounting to finance to laws while proposing the solution. The situation at TISS is also quite similar.

Now one can say that the curriculum can be replicated and learned faculty can be sought to match the quality of the HR program at these institutes. But the truth is faculty and curriculum are the main but not the only factors that determine an institute's worth. Its own culture, ethics, and background have a lot to do with the programs it offers.

So one cannot match XLRIs programs no matter how much they try.

How good is the HR MBA Course at SCMHRD? Is it comparable to XLRI and TISS?

Amit Choudhury

03 Oct 22

SCMHRD offers a good HR MBA program. It offers a decent curriculum and placements. SCMHRD placements in 2021 concluded with an average CTC of INR 16.5 LPA. The highest CTC offered was INR 33.6 LPA.

For HR, XLRI is better than SCMHRD. TISS is a great option for HR as well. In terms of placements, SCMHRD is comparable to TISS.

Which is better, TISS or IMT Ghaziabad?

Akansha Gupta

07 Sept 22

IMT Ghaziabad is better. It is a reputed B-School with an excellent placement record. IMT is a renowned name in the marketing sector. IMT Ghaziabad placements 2022 had witnessed the highest CTC of INR 62 LPA. Morgan Stanley, Accenture, Goldman Sachs, BCG, etc. take part in the campus drive of IMT.

TISS is an institute of Social Sciences and offers MAs, not MBAs. The course structure and learning are different.

Which is better among TISS HRM, and JBIMS MMS?

Hardik Nagar

03 Mar 23

TISS offers one of the best HRM programs, rivaling that of XLRI HR, and has produced highly competent individuals in this field. If you have a strong passion for HR and are confident in your choice, TISS would be an excellent choice for you to pursue this specialization.

On the other hand, if you are uncertain about your career path, it may be advantageous to keep your options open. In this scenario, it would be best to choose a college that allows you to decide on your stream later, rather than committing to a specific specialization immediately. This approach has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference and what best suits your individual needs and goals.

Regardless of your choice, both TISS and JBIMS have top-notch individuals in all areas of management, so you can be assured that you will receive a high-quality education and have the opportunity to be mentored by skilled professionals.

Which is better for Developmental studies TISS or IIT Madras?

Samriddha Saha

30 Mar 23

To get a better picture, let’s compare the two Institutes based on some common parameters:

Faculties - Development Studies department at TISS and IIT Madras have highly esteemed professors imparting the best knowledge.
Infrastructure: Infrastructure-wise, both institutes are fair and equal
Placements: The placement of DS is better at TISS than at IIT Madras. Students are offered placements and internship opportunities in very renowned NGOs like Pratham, Sneha, Aanandi, etc. The package offered is normal, and the maximum salary package offered is 22 LPA.
Curriculum: This course is one of the best offered in the school of social work at TISS. Being one of the flagship courses of TISS, it's superior in quality to that offered at IIT Madras.
Brand name - IIT Madras is an engineering college while TISS is known for its social sciences specialization. Hence, it enjoys a better name globally and has a better research culture too.
the quality of its research and researchers.
Campus life: The ambiance at TISS is conducive to the requirements of the DS course and comprises several departments promoting social activities like social work, development studies, tribal studies, disability studies, etc. This aspect is missing at IIT Madras and the learning experience of this course is not on par with TISS.

For Development Studies only, I would strongly suggest you go for TISS.

Which is the best option among these; an MBA at Christ, development studies at TISS, an MBA at ICFAI Hyderabad, or rural management at XIMB?

Rohit Thomas Koshy

13 Mar 23

First of all, I don’t deem it right for you to compare an MBA with Development studies as both are vastly different. Even comparing a General MBA with that in Rural Management is unjustified. The choice of the program depends on what your inclinations and interests are and what you want to do with your degree.

The points below will help you know the right choice for some general preferences.

Rural Management: If you want to be in the new markets and provide forward linkages to rural enterprises or backward linkages to large-scale industries, then Rural Management is best for you.
Development Studies: If you are willing to work in the policy sector, with an understanding of the development and public policy, and want to become an expert in project management, development, and implementation works in both rural and urban development, in a human and spatial context, then Development Studies is perfect for you.
For Money: If money is your primary goal then look for a good MBA college as the ones you mentioned are just average.

It is essential to know what exactly a course offers and what you are after only then you can make an informed decision

If you got through both XLRI and TISS, which one would you choose?

Neha Chowdhury

16 Mar 22

If you get both XLRI and TISS, you should choose the latter. Both of these are widely reputed. These offer different value propositions and learnings. XLRI is a true blue B-school. It is competitive and placement-oriented.

TISS isn’t your typical B-school. It is a social sciences school, where placement follows knowledge. They have an opinionated, liberal knowledge-oriented approach towards academics. The pedagogy is research and fieldwork-oriented. You can choose any of the courses as optional irrespective of your course. This will help develop your perspective towards our country.

Placement isn’t an issue for these institutes. You will get good ROI from both. The XLRI vs TISS is a never-ending debate and there isn’t any clear winner. You won’t miss out on any opportunity if you choose one over the other.

Which is better college out of the two, TISS vs XLRI?

Indrani Chatterjee

26 Jul 22

XLRI will be a better option among these. It is a true-blue B-school. Their HRM program is the best in the country. If you are interested in HRM, XLRI is the best option. Placements and exposure offered in this field are unparalleled. XLRI HRM average package is around INR 23-25 LPA.

TISS is a Social Sciences School. It follows a research-oriented, field-study-based curriculum.

Both of these institutes have a good placement record and offer decent ROI.

TISS at Mumbai is a famed institute. Why should a person opt for it? What career and personal goals one should set once he/she joins it? Is this a better choice compared to IIM Shillong?

Samriddha Saha

05 Feb 21

Comparing TISS with renowned B-schools such as - XLRI (Jamshedpur), IIM (Shillong) will show that it is at par with them. TISS is one of the premier institutes in the Social sciences department. TISS, as a research institute is well equipped. The graduation degree is of standard quality as well, it will be worth your time and money.

At TISS, HR is not amongst the highlighted courses. It is Social Work and other public policy and development related courses that are at the forefront. HR, as a course, is parallel to the management side of the education TISS has included it in the course list. Apart from HR, TISS also has another management program which is the Social Entrepreneurship course.

Now, let’s sum up the plus points of TISS, as the best-selected option:

NAAC Accreditation	'A' (It has been rated as the best university for Social Sciences in India)
Faculty	Best HR faculty in India; Extremely helpful and encouraging professors.
Placement Percentage (2020)	80-90%
Highest CTC	INR 32LPA. (Its recruitment standards are equal to XLRI PMIR)
Average CTC	20.60 LPA
Recruiting Companies	KPMG, Urban Management Centre, Amazon, CitiBank, etc.
Best courses	HR; MPH; MHA

TISS, when it comes to HR, is definitely a more suitable option than IIM Shillong. However, a comparison cannot be set between the two colleges, in totality. Both of these educational institutes have different specialization courses. Therefore, a common leveling ground is absent.

These are the stand-out features of TISS but a comparison with the IIMs is not justified, as they both deal with different subject matters at different levels.
