A recent decision by the Tata Institute of Social Science (TISS) to rely solely on the Common University Entrance Test Post Graduate (CUET-PG) for the academic year 2024–25, thus discontinuing the TISS NET, has led to discontent among the students. The Progressive Students’ Forum-TISS (PSF-TISS) called the decision an assault on the core identity of TISS and its cherished campus culture. Numerous aspirants who dedicated nearly a year to preparing for TISS NET perceive the change as abrupt and unjust and have demanded the reinstatement of TISS NET.
Students argued that the two exams differ significantly in nature and format, making it challenging to adjust to the change, especially at this critical juncture when there are only a few months left before the test. Students also emphasised that the notification was issued ‘at the last minute’, leaving a majority of aspirants with limited or no alternatives. If the notification had been issued in advance, they argue, they could have prepared more effectively.
