    7. TISS Admission Process after TISSNET Exam 2023

    TISSNET and Online Assessments are the two main phases of the selection process for admission at Tata Institutes of Social Science (TISS). It is significant to remember that at the initial stage, the reservation rules do not apply. The candidates are chosen for the following step based on their TISSNET (Stage I) scores.

    Online Assessments (OA)/Online Personal Interview(OPI) : ( Stage II )

    Online Assessment (OA) will be conducted for approximately 20 - 30 minutes by a three-member panel. The main objective of OA is to assess the candidates’ suitability and interest in studies in the chosen programme. There will be two components in OA as below;

    1. Extempore reflection on a given topic:
      Panel members will give a topic relevant to the programme of study and the candidate will be asked to present a reflection on the same for a maximum of 2-3 minutes. Candidates will have the option of asking for the second topic in case not comfortable with the one given at the beginning. There will not be a third choice.

    2. Online Personal Interview (OPI): 
      The panel members will interact with the candidate to understand the candidate’s motivation, interest, and preparedness as well as basic subject knowledge of the undergraduate studies. Candidates' understanding of social and economic factors will also be explored through OPI. These are only indicative areas of exploration at the OPI.

    The final score is based on marks allotted to both stages. The following table reflects the weightage given to each screening component:

    Stage Activity Max Mark The weightage (%)
    1 Stage 1: TISS NET Center-based objective type test 100 50
    2 Stage 2: Online Assessments(OA) 1. Extempore reflection on a given topic 100 20
    2. Online Personal Interview((OPI) 100 30
