  1. Is there any online portal where I can connect with the TISS seniors who are pursuing their MPhill and Phd and other admission aspirants so I can get some guidance? I am an MA and JRF in Human Resource Management. And I am applying in TISS. I just wish there was a group where I could discuss my progress on RAT preparations. It would have been really motivating and reassuring.

  2. We are in Visakhapatnam. I completed M.A.Sociology, I got 50%. And also completed M.ED. I got 70% above. So I want to join M.phil in education based on M.ED. Am I eligible? Regular class or distance mode?
    Where we have to write entrance exam ?

    1. UGC JRF qualified candidates, post graduates, students in the final year post graduation in Social Sciences and allied fields and individuals with M.Phil and / or industrial, academic and field based experience in Social Sciences, Social Work, Disaster Management, Development Studies and allied fields are invited to apply.
