A good experience at TISS Hyderabad.

Placements: The placements were good. Many of the Public Policy and Governance students were placed with various departments of Government of Andhra Pradesh and Government of Telangana. Apart from this, there were also several NGOs where students of other streams were placed. For internships, students were allowed to find and work with the organisation of their choice. The placement cell was helpful and had a set of rules to be followed which were stated clearly to prevent confusion and give every student a fair opportunity to sit for the placements.

Infrastructure: There was high-speed Wi-Fi on campus and the classrooms were of a good size and airy. The canteen provided decent food and the hostel rooms were of a good size. Library had a good collection of books and we were also given remote access to journals which helped us during our studies and research work. Overall the infrastructure was satisfactory.

Faculty: The professors were subject matter experts and very well qualified. The course was well structured and the mode of teaching was the whiteboard supplemented by the power point presentations. Students are given the opportunity to develop their self-confidence by presenting assignments before the faculty members as well as peers. The course curriculum touched upon a variety of subjects to give a well rounded perspective of the public policy issues and developments taking place in India and the world.

Other: There was an annual fest for TISS Hyderabad apart from which several events are also conducted during the year to help the students relax and take a break from the routine. The campus surroundings are peaceful and enjoyed by the students.
