Faculty members and Education at its best.

Placements: Placement was fine for my senior batch. Almost 91% of students were placed in batch 2015-17. the highest salary offered in our course was 60,000 rs. Per month and the lowest was 25,000 rs per month and average was 40,000 rs per month. A lot of companies or say organisation has visited like Raajeevika, Dr. Reddy's foundation, KSRLM, ITDA, Chhattisgarh livelihood mission, Odissa livlelihood mission, etc. Role that was offered in placement was young professional, executive officer, Manager etc. 100% of student will get internship as internship is a part of course curriculum. Cant say for stipend in internship but average will be around 12000 per month. Yes, there is a placement cell and it is really very efficient to bring organizations and is able to coordinate with students and companies for jobs.

Infrastructure: As TISS Hyderabad doesnot have its own campus, it collaborates with TSIPARD campus. Infrastructure as per in building is not so good but Wi-Fi facility is there. Classrooms are perfectly fine. For medical supports there is doctors available for students as well as staffs. Sports facility is also there, like basketball ball court, badminton court, table tennis, volleyball, carrom, chess etc. Inside college hostels are not so good but the hostel that is outside college is very good.

Faculty: Facultiies here are very good. They are really helpful and is available for all the support and help related to your study as well as any personal problem. They all are knowledgeable and able to teach in very interesting manner. Teachers use projector for teaching. Yes I get industry exposure as well as social exposure, as there is a representation as student from almost each state of India. Course curriculum is really helpful because what is needed in the course is beautifully shown in the course structure and we also see this during study. All the subjects that is being taught here is perfectly related.

Other: Fest like Freshers, farewell and TISS Quintissence are organized by the student union that includes quiz, sports, dance competition, poetry competition, face painting, etc. Campus is not crowd because per course TISS accept only 31 students.
