FACILITIES PROVIDED FOR ELIGIBLE SC/ST/OBC (NC) BY THE TATA INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL
SCIENCES FOR POST GRADUATE PROGRAMMES
INFORMATION FOR CANDIDATES BELONGING TO RESERVATION CATEGORIES:
Scheduled Caste/ Scheduled Tribe Cell & Equal Opportunity Cell (SC/ST & EO Cell):
ESTABLISHMENT OF SC/ST CELL AND EO CELL AT TISS: In 1986, TISS set up a Student Services Cell with
financial assistance from the then Ministry of Welfare, Government of India, to assist SC and ST students
in improving their academic performance and optimising their personal and social development. In
1988, the Institute obtained the approval of the UGC to set up a Special Cell for SCs and STs, which
began functioning from 1989. The 1998 UGC Guidelines directed all educational institutions and
Universities receiving grant-in-aid from the UGC to establish Cells not only for the SCs and STs, but also
for Other Backward Classes (OBCs), Persons with Disability (PWD), and religious minorities. The purpose
of these Cells was to help the University/Colleges/Institutions concerned implement the reservation
policy with regard to admission of students, as well as recruitment of teaching and non-teaching staff at
various levels. With a view to accommodate all this under one umbrella and for better coordination and
functioning, the Social Protection Office (SPO) of TISS was established in 2012. The SPO was managed
by a faculty member designated as Liaison Officer-cum-Dean. In 2018, based on meetings with the
National Commission of Scheduled Tribes, the Institute decided to divide the work of the SPO into two
different Cells, viz., the SC/ST Cell to deal with the issues of the SC and ST students, teaching and non-
teaching staff, and the Equal Opportunity Cell to deal with the issues of OBCs, Religious Minorities, PWD,
Kashmiri Migrants and kin of Armed Forces. The Cells have a common Standing Advisory Committee,
but function under their own exclusive Liaison Officers (LOs). Both these Cells deal with the issues and
concerns of students and staff belonging to the reserved category at the Main Campus in Mumbai, as
well as the three Off-campuses of TISS at Tuljapur, Guwahati and Hyderabad. Each Off-Campus has a
faculty nominated as the Convener of the SC/ST Cell and EO Cell, who work in coordination with the LOs
of the SC/ST Cell and EO Cell at the Mumbai Campus.

various facilities available on the campuses.
