No.1 TATA INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL Mumbai SCIENCES

1 Offering a curriculum revised to reflect changing times, needs and societal concerns. After eight decades of running a lauded master’s programme, TISS finally added a four-year bachelor’s programme last year. Known for giving equal weight to people and practical skills, the institute has recently prioritised the research component by allotting it additional credits.

2 Learning from an experienced faculty: Thirty-seven professors have spent over two decades teaching and also possess field experience. Last year alone, they collectively published 52 articles in international journals and 40 in national journals, in addition to authoring six books. The pedagogy is designed not just to make lessons engaging but also to encourage critical thinking and problem-solving.
