What is the TISSNET Exam? Latest 2026 Update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TISSNET was the old entrance exam for TISS Master\u2019s admissions. TISS has officially stopped TISSNET from the 2024-25 session onward. For 2026 admission, you need CUET PG for most MA courses and CAT 2025 for HRM & LR, ODCL, and MHA. Selection now usually goes through score, online assessment, and interview. Here are the latest updates.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TISSNET Exam Syllabus 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TISSNET syllabus is not active now because the exam is closed. For 2026, your syllabus depends on the route you choose, CUET PG or CAT. CUET PG asks subject-based questions, while CAT checks aptitude and logic skills. So first pick your course, then prepare for that exam only. Here is the syllabus for all routes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Route<\/strong><\/td>Main Syllabus<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>

TISSNET Exam Pattern and Marking Scheme<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TISSNET pattern is not used now, so you need the current CUET PG or CAT pattern. Both are computer-based exams with MCQs and negative marking. CUET PG is shorter and subject-based. CAT is tougher and has timed sections. Here is the pattern and marking scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exam<\/strong><\/td>Questions<\/strong><\/td>Duration<\/strong><\/td>Marks<\/strong><\/td>Negative Marking<\/strong><\/td>Format<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>

TISSNET Exam Cut Off for TISS Mumbai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TISSNET cut off is not used now, but TISS Mumbai still has shortlist cut offs through CAT or CUET PG. For management courses, CAT minimum percentile starts lower, but real competition is much higher. If you target HRM & LR, you should aim far above the minimum. For MA courses, cut off depends on CUET PG scores after results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programme<\/strong><\/td>Category<\/strong><\/td>Minimum Shortlist Cut Off<\/strong><\/td>Safe Competitive Range<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>

CUET PG vs TISSNET Exam: What Changed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The biggest change is simple. TISSNET is gone, and now TISS uses CUET PG or CAT. The old exam had GK, English, and aptitude in one paper. Now you need subject knowledge for CUET PG or management aptitude for CAT. After that, TISS may take assessment and interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
