TISSNET

TISSNET was the national entrance test of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences for its postgraduate programmes, most prominently the MA in Human Resource Management & Labour Relations. IMPORTANT: TISS retired TISSNET from the 2025-26 admission cycle under the UGC move to standardised postgraduate admissions — most MA programmes now admit on CUET PG scores and three management programmes on CAT scores. The pattern preserved here is the last one actually conducted: 100 questions in 100 minutes for 100 marks across English Proficiency, Mathematical Skills & Logical Reasoning, and General Awareness, with no negative marking. It remains valuable practice for its unusually broad, social-sector-weighted General Awareness section, which is 40% of the paper.

Know the exam: TISSNET

Pattern, eligibility and requirements — the essentials before you start.

Exam Pattern

STATUS: TISS retired TISSNET from the 2025-26 admission cycle. Most MA programmes now admit on CUET PG scores and three management programmes on CAT scores. The pattern below is the last one actually conducted and is retained for previous-year practice. TISSNET (as last conducted): 100 multiple-choice questions in a single 100-minute window, computer-based, three sections: 1. English Proficiency: 30 questions, 30 marks 2. Mathematical Skills & Logical Reasoning: 30 questions, 30 marks 3. General Awareness: 40 questions, 40 marks Marking: +1 for each correct answer and NO negative marking, for a total of 100 marks. There is no sectional timing. One minute per question makes TISSNET the fastest-paced of the major management entrances. General Awareness carried the largest weight at 40% and ranged far wider than a typical MBA GK section- social policy, government schemes, development economics, health, environment, gender and human rights alongside conventional current affairs.

Eligibility

A bachelor's degree of minimum three years' duration from a recognised university. Most TISS programmes did not prescribe a minimum aggregate at the entrance stage. Final-year students may apply provisionally. NOTE: admission is now made through CUET PG or CAT- check the current TISS admission notification for the authoritative criteria.

TISSNET (TISS National Entrance Test) follows this pattern:

  • Questions: 100
  • Total marks: 100
  • Duration: 1 hour 40 minutes
  • Difficulty: Medium

Crackto mock tests mirror this exactly, so your practice reflects real timing pressure rather than an approximation.

Crackto provides comprehensive analytics for every TISSNET attempt:

  • Score trend across attempts, so improvement is visible rather than assumed
  • Section-wise breakdown pinpointing which areas cost you marks
  • Accuracy versus speed, separating knowledge gaps from time-management gaps
  • Percentile and rank against every other TISSNET aspirant on the same paper
  • Question-level time tracking to expose the questions that quietly drain your clock

Yes, absolutely. Retake any TISSNET mock test as often as you like — retakes are not limited or charged separately.

Each attempt is stored on its own, so your analytics show the trend across attempts instead of overwriting your earlier score. Retaking a paper after reviewing its solutions is one of the most reliable ways to convert a weak section into a strong one.

TISSNET, formally TISS National Entrance Test, is conducted by Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS).

Official notifications, application dates and results are published on the conducting body's own website: https://admissions.tiss.ac.in. Always confirm dates and eligibility there — Crackto is a preparation platform, not the conducting authority.

The eligibility requirements recorded for TISSNET are:

  • Qualification: A bachelor's degree of minimum three years' duration from a recognised university. Most TISS programmes did not prescribe a minimum aggregate at the entrance stage. Final-year students may apply provisionally. NOTE: admission is now made through CUET PG or CAT- check the current TISS admission notification for the authoritative criteria.

Age relaxations commonly apply to reserved categories. Check the official notification for the exact relaxation that applies to you before applying.

TISSNET is available in English.

Where a Crackto mock test is offered in more than one language, you can pick your language before starting the paper — practising in the language you will actually sit the exam in matters more than most candidates expect.

Crackto mirrors the official marking scheme of TISSNET rather than applying a single blanket rule, so if the real paper penalises wrong answers, the mock does too.

The exact scheme for any given paper — marks per correct answer and the penalty for a wrong one — is displayed on that test's page before you begin, and again in your results breakdown afterwards.

The TISSNET syllabus is defined by the conducting body and published with each notification.

Crackto mock tests are mapped to it section by section, so after a few attempts your analytics show which areas you have genuinely covered and which need work.
