Could you please tell the rankings of different tiss institutions .. I mean is the Mumbai one better or Hyderabad

04:06 PM

As many of you have questions on preparing for GK. I would say take a two pronged approach, first is about Current affairs, there's nothing better than reading newspapers, but for many of you who dont have the time to, you can refer to websites that post important current affairs from the perspective of competitive exams , some of the websites I used to refere are: https://www.gktoday.in/ http://www.gr8ambitionz.com/

04:06 PM

Do mba from any iim in HR and ma in HR from TISS do both of have them same value

04:06 PM

04:07 PM

Can a bcom graduate with no work experience get into TISS?

04:08 PM

Next coming to static part, one thing that aspirants have to undestand is static GK is also asked in realtion to current afairs, Eg. If 2017 is the birth centenary of a particular important historic personality, then you should definitely read up all about him, same goes for geography, if there was a particular geographic event that took place recently, you should read up about the event entirely

04:09 PM

whats the least package being offered for the HRM-LR course ?

04:09 PM

at TISS

04:10 PM

How to answer "why HR" question in pi??

04:10 PM

Continuing about preparing for static GK, definitely read up about culture and religions

04:11 PM

Geography - please read 11th NCERT geography, briefly.

04:12 PM

Polity for GK focus on laws, legislations that are in News, some important parts of Constitution such as Fundamental rights, DPSP, important amendments to Constitution

04:13 PM

For History preparation I would suggest you to know the landmark events in India medieval and modern history. Same goes for independence movement also, know the important events and important personalities

04:14 PM

For World History focus on World Wars, famous World leaders

04:15 PM

Only Indian static GK?

04:15 PM

World static GK is asked too, but it's not asked all that much. Geography is world and India obviously.

04:16 PM

hi sasi, could you help us with cut-off for all categories in your year 2016 and if possible for 2017 as well (if in case you remember) ?

04:16 PM

Another approach for GK is being able to guess intelligently, elimination of two option should be the first thing to do and then zeroing in on the right answer

04:17 PM

Studying static GK of current affairs is smart approach

04:17 PM

What are the possible references for VA?

WHY HR Question :

04:27 PM

Answer

04:27 PM

Why HR is a very important question for two reasons, first it's an important question that you should know an answer to yourself. As HRM&LR in TISS Mumbai is a specialized and focused course, it's important you know the reason why you are pursuing HR in the first place. Secondly, it's an important question for the interview panel to judge your interest in the course. A disinterest candidate is not going help anyone's cause neither the candidate's himself nor the Institute's Sincere suggestion don't look for straitjacketed standard answers for Why HR question. Interview panel will easily know that's not your real answer. Introspect and articulate why you want to actually pursue HR, also reflect on what you've done till date to understand why you want to do HR. Summarily, Why HR question answer is different for different people.

04:28 PM

04:49 PM

Same question

04:49 PM

dear friends, its 1:13 after written

04:50 PM

Around 800 students are called for interviews every year. The selection ratio hovers between 1:11 and 1:13

04:51 PM

Which topics come for essay?

04:52 PM

Coming to packages being lower in HR versus other functions, when companies recruit at management trainee positions it has over the years become a norm to pay equally amonsgt all functions, especially if you are a student from premier college(like TISS and XLRI). There are some companies that do differentiate between different functions. In a supply chain focussed organization that would be the highest paid function, similarly in finance and NBFC companies finance would be highest paid. But in conglomerates, MNCS, FMCG companies there is disparity in entry level salaries offered

04:54 PM

Essay topics vary year on year, they could be HR based, then on social issues and current affairs. Social issues is usually a standard area from which essay questions are asked

04:55 PM

that helps regarding packages. thanks

04:56 PM

But in conglomerates, MNCS, FMCG companies there is NO***** disparity in entry level salaries offered
