Which is better for Developmental studies TISS or IIT Madras?
To get a better picture, let’s compare the two Institutes based on some common parameters:
- Faculties - Development Studies department at TISS and IIT Madras have highly esteemed professors imparting the best knowledge.
- Infrastructure: Infrastructure-wise, both institutes are fair and equal
- Placements: The placement of DS is better at TISS than at IIT Madras. Students are offered placements and internship opportunities in very renowned NGOs like Pratham, Sneha, Aanandi, etc. The package offered is normal, and the maximum salary package offered is 22 LPA.
- Curriculum: This course is one of the best offered in the school of social work at TISS. Being one of the flagship courses of TISS, it's superior in quality to that offered at IIT Madras.
- Brand name - IIT Madras is an engineering college while TISS is known for its social sciences specialization. Hence, it enjoys a better name globally and has a better research culture too.
- the quality of its research and researchers.
- Campus life: The ambiance at TISS is conducive to the requirements of the DS course and comprises several departments promoting social activities like social work, development studies, tribal studies, disability studies, etc. This aspect is missing at IIT Madras and the learning experience of this course is not on par with TISS.
For Development Studies only, I would strongly suggest you go for TISS.
Which is the best option among these; an MBA at Christ, development studies at TISS, an MBA at ICFAI Hyderabad, or rural management at XIMB?
I am a second year MBA student at Christ University Bangalore. I can only tell you about my university.
In all honesty, the campus life of Christ is pretty hectic. The senior students conduct personality development programs for freshers, right after they join the university. After this, the committee selection process starts.
The students have to strike a balance between fest/event management, placements, internships on the one hand, and huge academic load on the other. But with time, they learn to manage everything well.
For MBA students, Christ is known to provide top placements in the Marketing sector. The students receive plenty of placement opportunities in sales, and few opportunities in core marketing, media & advertising, and digital marketing as well.
Christ has a good reputation and a strong alumni network for those who wish to work in the Sales and Marketing sector after their MBA.
