New Postgraduate Programmes Accepting CAT 2024 Scores
The following postgraduate programmes will now consider CAT 2024 scores for admission:
- Master of Arts in Human Resource Management and Labour Relations
- Master of Arts in Organisation Development, Change and Leadership
- Master of Hospital Administration
This change expands TISS's acceptance of the CAT as a criterion for selection, previously limited to other institutions and programmes.
Previous Admission Process
Traditionally, TISS relied on its own entrance examination, the TISS National Entrance Test (TISS NET), for admissions into both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. The move to accept CAT 2024 scores for these programmes reflects a broader acceptance of national-level exams in the selection process.
