As competition stiffens for postgraduate seats in famous institutes, the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), a leading name in social sciences, management, and public policy education, has introduced a significant change in its admission process for a select few management programs.
For the academic year 2026-27, TISS is offering admission to its postgraduate programs through marks obtained in the CAT 2025 exam. Some of the key management-related programs will be offered through the marks obtained in CAT 2025 in the following subjects:-
| Master of Arts in Human Resource Management & Labour Relations |

This shift in the selection process from the CUET PG-based admission system is significant, and it aims to reflect TISS’s selection process in line with the national standards followed by top management institutes like the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs). By accepting the CAT framework, Tata Institute of Social Sciences seeks to ensure a more competitive, merit-driven and nationally benchmarked admission process, thereby attracting high-calibre candidates from across India.
