Published: 2026-09-01

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) advises all aspiring students and candidates to exercise caution while applying for skill education programmes offered through its School of Skill Education. TISS has noticed that certain firms, entities, and organisations with names similar to TISS are promoting or offering programmes in a way that may confuse students and lead them to mistakenly believe TISS offers, recognises, or endorses them.

Examples of such entities include, but are not limited to, names such as ‘Tiss Education Foundation’ and ‘Tiss Eduserve LLP’. Candidates are hereby cautioned not to rely solely on the use of similar names, abbreviations, branding, or claims made by any third party while deciding whether a programme is affiliated with Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS).

Candidates are strongly advised to verify the authenticity of any skill education programme and associated Industry Partner for Skill Training and Vocational Training Provider (VTP) only through the official TISS admissions webpage (https://sse.tiss.ac.in/admission/) ( IPST https://sse.tiss.ac.in/industry-partner-for-skill-training-ipst and VTP https://sse.tiss.ac.in/vocational-training-partner-vtp). Carefully review the list of Industry Partner for Skill Training and Vocational Training Providers published by TISS on its admissions website before applying to any programme or making any payment.

TISS shall not be responsible for any loss, inconvenience, or misunderstanding arising from applications made to unauthorised firms, entities, or organisations falsely implying association with TISS.
