The online assessment of the shortlisted candidates will be divided into two phases: the Online Personal Interview (OPI) and the Extemporaneous Reflection Test (ERT).
The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) has announced the online assessment (OA) dates for admission to postgraduate courses for the academic year 2023-24. Candidates can check their assigned OA dates on the official TISS admissions website -admissions.tiss.edu. Candidates can log in with their registration ID on the portal and view their assigned OA dates. The link goes live two days before the assigned date. Under no circumstances is a change of date allowed.
The shortlisted candidates for OA are to complete the Detailed Application Form (DAF) available on the TISS admission portal. The deadline for submitting the DAF is April 11. Candidates who do not submit the DAF by the deadline will not be allowed to take the online assessment exam.
The online assessment test is conducted in two shifts, the first shift starting from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, followed by the second half from 2:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
Candidate must have a laptop, smartphone, desktop, tablet or other such device with a good internet connection and backup in order to use the OA. The shortlisted students must download the Zoom application, a video conferencing app, for the test.
The online assessment consists of two parts. Extemporaneous Reflection Test (ERT) and Online Personal Interview (OPI). In the ERT, panel members provide the candidate with a subject relevant to the programme. They will be asked to present that topic for a maximum of 2-3 minutes. OPI allows the panelists to communicate with the candidate. The candidates’ overall understanding of social and economic factors will also be examined through OPI.
During OA, if an applicant is found using unfair means, such as simultaneously controlling other devices or seeking help from others, they will be immediately disqualified from the admissions process. Candidates must also ensure and adhere to the discipline of the online assessment process.
The TISS-NET (National Entrance Test) 2023 exam was held on February 25, from 2:00 PM to 3:40 PM, and the results were released on March 23. TISS-NET is administered to select students for admission to the postgraduate programs offered by the 17 schools and two centers of the Tata Institute of Social Science.
