Question

Choosing between TISS and Azim Premji University (APU) for an M.A. in Education is a common dilemma! A lot of people recommend APU for a few solid reasons:

Faculty: APU has professors from all over the world, including some well-known names like Aman Madan and Rohit Dhankar, who used to be at TISS.
Infrastructure: Both schools have great facilities, but APU's campus is newer and still developing, which could give it an edge.
Diversity: Both have students from all over India, creating a "Mini India" vibe. TISS focuses on representation from each state, with many students from cities. APU aims for a 50:50 mix of students from urban and rural backgrounds.
Field Experience: Both offer excellent field experience. TISS lets you work with various NGOs, especially in rural areas and slums. APU offers experience at NGOs and the Azim Premji Foundation.
Financial Support: TISS provides aid based on reservation status, while APU looks at economic need. APU even visits students' homes to check if they qualify for financial support. Many APU students get scholarships or work part-time to support themselves.

While TISS has a long history of producing famous social workers, APU is now a popular choice for those specifically focused on education.

Its a Question about your future!
