M.A. in Social Work (Rural Development)
Reviewed On 13 Nov, 2025
Admission: The college faculty is really great and supportive. The teachers here are top-notch, though some can be biased. Overall, the teachers are pretty good. The course curriculum is up-to-date and really helps with getting placed after graduation. The semester exams are kinda tough but manageable.
Placement: The college says everyone gets a job after graduating. Last year, almost all the seniors got jobs - 90% to be exact. Big companies like BAIF, Kudumbashree, and others come to hire. They offer jobs like Project Manager and Young Professional in different places. It's a good opportunity for us to start our careers.
Campus: The hostel is pretty good, although there are still some cleanliness problems. Overall, it's the top choice. The library is cool with lots of books. The cafeteria serves breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. The classrooms are the highlight of the campus.

Admission: The only problem with this college is the faculty. Since it's not in a big city, it's hard to get good teachers to stay. But there are some awesome teachers who really care about helping us. Sociology and economics have great independent teachers, and students like them. But some subjects have guest teachers, which is tough because they're not around much. We really need more full-time teachers here. Teaching is good with lots of assignments that help us learn. The assessments are great and keep us involved with group work, thinking on our own, and hands-on projects. There's about 20 students for every teacher. The Bachelor's course curriculum is solid overall, even though there are a few issues with some subjects. It's great for shaping future leaders and human service pros. The course includes field work and internships, which really add to the learning experience. If you don't finish these, you won't get your degree.
Placement: You can only get job placements after finishing your 5-year BA-MA. If you do a 3-year BA, you can't apply for placements. The college lets you leave after 3 years if you want to do your masters somewhere else. After 3 years, you get a B.A. degree, but you can't do placements. If you continue for 5 years, you can do placements through the CGPC. Private and government organizations come to hire students. Care India, HCL Foundation, and other companies have hired students. Government groups like state rural health missions also come for placements. Some micro-credit companies (like Ujjivan) offer up to 7.5 LPA. The average placement is around 4 LPA, with the lowest at 2 LPA. Internships are a must for all students. Everyone does internships at good places. By the end of the course, you'll have done 4-5 internships.
Campus: The campus is really pretty with lots of greenery. The WiFi used to be bad, but now it's much better after an upgrade. All the facilities are great. There's a big ground and other stuff like a gym, badminton courts, and a basketball court. Sports events happen all the time, so it's super lively. The classrooms are big and have all the tech stuff like projectors and speakers. The library is awesome too. You can find all the books you need there, and if they don't have something, you can ask and they'll try to get it for you. The librarian is really helpful. The library is connected to other TISS libraries, so you can easily share online resources between campuses. You can even access library stuff online from off-campus. The hostels have improved a lot. Most guys stay in the new boys' hostel with 4 guys per room. It's clean and the washrooms are good too.

Admission: The teachers here really know their stuff. They've got tons of experience and are great at what they do. But there aren't too many of them because the campus is out in the country. Some of them live in the city so their kids can go to better schools.
Placement: The campus location is great. I've been here for a year, and this year was good for WASH and RD courses. As a UG student, there aren't placements, but social work students get them after finishing their UG. Overall, it's a good fit.
Campus: The campus is in a hilly area with lots of greenery. Nature lovers like me really like living here. The facilities are good here, even though sometimes we have water issues. But overall, it's great because we're studying social sciences in a rural setting. It helps us understand real-life problems better.

Admission: The teachers at this college are really good. They care about sustainable development and gender equality. They also teach us about using the right technology and social sciences. They organize group work, seminars, and lectures, which are helpful for learning.
Placement: I'm currently doing my Master of Science in sustainable livelihood and natural resource governance at this school. My program is very focused on research, so it's a bit tough to find campus job opportunities. But students in other departments seem to have better chances of landing decent-paying jobs after graduation.
Campus: The campus at Tata's construction is top-notch. They focus on sustainable rural development. The Wi-Fi is fast, and the labs have all the research equipment you need. It's a great place to learn and grow!

Admission: The teachers here are super helpful and really know their stuff. They cover both theory and hands-on stuff in the course, which is great. The course content is spot-on and the exams each semester are pretty manageable.
Placement: The college has a 100% placement rate, with the highest salary being 9 Lacs per year. Some of the top recruiters include Rajasthan Jeevika, Odisha Livelihood Mission, United Way Bangalore, Deshpande Foundation, BAIF, Lets Endorse, and Ajim Premji Foundation.
Campus: The infrastructure here is awesome! Free Wi-Fi is available in both the hostel and on campus. The library is stocked with lots of books. The hostel rooms are clean and come with hot water and RO drinking water. Plus, you can play any sport you want here. So cool!

Admission: The teachers here are really helpful. They know their stuff and help you with your studies. They even help you out with your dissertation before you graduate. The academics are top-notch and encourage us to think outside the box. Since coming here, my perspective has totally shifted.
Placement: As a BA student, I'm not really worried about job placements right now. I've heard that MA students have better luck with getting good job offers after they graduate. So I'm just focusing on my studies for now.
Campus: The Wi-Fi works in all the hostels and the library, which is great. We have a computer center and enough classrooms. The food used to be not so good, but they've improved the menu recently. If you have serious health issues, it's not the best place because the medical facilities are lacking. The sports and games options are not the best either.
