There is no separate TISSNET application for the new admission cycle. TISS now uses programme-specific admission routes. For 2027–28, four postgraduate programmes at Mumbai will use CAT 2026 scores: Human Resource Management & Labour Relations, Organisation Development, Change and Leadership, Hospital Administration, and Analytics.
Taking the entrance test and applying to TISS are separate steps. Choose your programme first, because the required exam, eligibility and application schedule can differ. The 2027–28 CAT notice confirms the entrance route; it does not announce the opening or closing date of the TISS application form.
| Programme at TISS Mumbai | Entrance test for 2027–28 |
|---|---|
| MA Human Resource Management & Labour Relations | CAT 2026 |
| MA Organisation Development, Change and Leadership | CAT 2026 |
| Master of Hospital Administration | CAT 2026 |
| MSc Analytics | CAT 2026 |
The four programmes in this table use CAT 2026 for 2027–28 admission. Other TISS programmes need their own admission notice; do not extend this route to every course.
These dates belong to 2026 admission, not the 2027 application schedule. They show why completing only the entrance-exam form can leave a TISS application unfinished.
| 2026 admission stage | Date |
|---|---|
| TISS CAT-based application opened | 3 November 2025 |
| Reopened TISS CAT application window | 3–11 January 2026 |
| CAT-route application correction | 12–13 January 2026 |
| CUET PG entrance-exam application | 14 December 2025–23 January 2026 |
| TISS CUET-based admission application opened | 22 May 2026 |
| Deadline for the listed TISS CUET-based programmes | 11 June 2026, 5 pm |
| TISS CUET-route correction | 15 June, 4 pm–17 June 2026, 5 pm |
| First CUET-route merit list | 24 June 2026, 8 pm |
| Form | Who uses it | What it does not replace |
|---|---|---|
| Entrance-exam application | Applicants taking the required exam | TISS programme application |
| TISS admission application | Applicants seeking consideration for a programme | Entrance registration |
| DAF, when requested | Candidates shortlisted for the next stage | The initial TISS application |
| Admission-confirmation form | Selected candidates accepting an offer | An application from a new candidate |
| Programme | Qualification detail to check |
|---|---|
| MA HRM & LR | Recognised degree route meeting the required formal education; final-year eligibility depends on completed semesters and later degree proof. |
| MA ODCL | Degree requirement plus post-graduation full-time work experience. The published 2026 rule required 24 months by 1 May 2026; that date is not a 2027 cutoff. |
| Hospital Administration | Permitted bachelor's degree and completion of final-year requirements, including examinations and internships. |
| MSc Analytics | Bachelor's degree of at least three years; 50% aggregate, with five-percentage-point relaxation for the listed SC/ST/OBC-NCL/PwD/EWS categories. |
Entrance eligibility and programme eligibility are separate checks. Match the exact programme name before using a qualification or work-experience rule.
| Category | Published TISS CAT-PG fee |
|---|---|
| General | INR 1,800 |
| OBC-NC / EWS | INR 1,300 |
| SC / ST | INR 800 |
| Eligible GoI-PMS applicants: OBC-NC family income below INR 1 lakh; SC/ST below INR 2.5 lakh | INR 800 |
These are the published TISS CAT-PG application fees. They do not replace the CAT examination fee and are not a confirmed fee table for every 2027 TISS form.
| Record | Details |
|---|---|
| Degree and semester marksheets | Degree title, university, completed semesters, marks or grades, and any pending results. |
| Entrance application and score details | Correct exam year, application number and applicable paper or score. |
| Category and income documents, where claimed | Category, issuing authority, validity and any income condition attached to a concession. |
| Work-experience records, where required | Employment dates, full-time status and whether the experience is after graduation. |
| Photograph, signature and identity details | Clear files and matching personal details; use the dimensions and file limits shown in the actual form. |
| Submitted form and payment acknowledgement | Application number, programme choices, payment reference and final submission status. |

For 2027–28, TISS has named CAT 2026 as the entrance route for MA Human Resource Management & Labour Relations. A CUET PG application or score is not a substitute for the CAT score required for that programme.
No. CAT registration is for the entrance test. TISS runs its own programme application and selection process. Apply separately to TISS for the programme you want to join.
No. TISS notified a Non-CUET entrance process for specified vacant PG seats in 2026. That was a defined admission round, not a general announcement restoring TISSNET for every master's programme.
First check the application and payment status, then keep the transaction reference and screenshot ready for the admissions helpdesk. A bank debit and a successful application are different records. Resolve the payment status before creating a duplicate application or making another payment.
TISS has a separate international-admissions process covering the applicant categories listed by its Office for International Affairs. Do not apply domestic CAT/CUET instructions to an international, OCI or NRI application without checking that route's programme and applicant-category conditions.
It may be an admission-confirmation portal rather than the initial application. The 2026–27 confirmation page is for shortlisted candidates and asks for the programme for which admission is confirmed. A new applicant should begin with the admission announcement for the correct year and route, not a saved link from a previous stage.
