Dear,
Your graduation part is not much important, while shifting to another prospective. You just want to be confident about your choice you have made. TISS, MHA is a really good course and will give you many direct experience in hospital. The average package is also very good about around INR 15 lakhs. So, if you are really having passion and an objective to work on hospital sector you can go ahead. Even, I shifted my whole career from physics to social work, as I'm confident in that, and now I makes sense. So, think about your passion and go ahead.

Hello,
Sorry, you can't give for climate even though you get enough marks. TISS is very particular in the choices you made at the time of filling application. You are only eligible to appear for the GD/PI for the courses you chose in the application based on the marks you scored in TISSNET. Added to it, TISS is very specific to the preferences you made in the application too.

As a student of social work in TISS by comparing the papers and curriculum of both HR and social work, I would like to say it's is totally different. Social work course in TISS will be of 50% field work and 50% theory papers related to field work. Social work is mostly experience based in field. You will come to know the social problems and how to approach it. Even you should apply this in your field work too.
For field work, weekly two days in first year, one month of urban field work, one month of rural field work and rural practicum will give you an great exposure to the society as you will get chance to work with slum people directly. This course is a gift for the people who want to serve the nation in a professional way.
While considering HR in TISS, known to my knowledge it's mostly corporate oriented and office based works. HR is mostly attractive for its annual packages.
