If you are asking this question, then either you are not a serious management student or you have no idea what you are talking about. TISS ranked second in India for PG program in HR management after XLRI. Although it does not offer MBA, its MA program in HR is considered way more valuable than many MBAs including PGPM of IIMs with average package of 18 lakhs p.a. for HR. Its matter of pride get into there and a tough competition of course. Apart from MA in HR, it also offers various other program such as Master of Social Work, Master of Hospital Administration which are again a very popular course in the sector and TISS ranked no 1 for social work and development studies. Its HR program meant for everyone and most valued by the corporates after XLRI.

As a student of social work in TISS by comparing the papers and curriculum of both HR and social work, I would like to say it's is totally different. Social work course in TISS will be of 50% field work and 50% theory papers related to field work. Social work is mostly experience based in field. You will come to know the social problems and how to approach it. Even you should apply this in your field work too. For field work, weekly two days in first year, one month of urban field work, one month of rural field work and rural practicum will give you an great exposure to the society as you will get chance to work with slum people directly. This course is a gift for the people who want to serve the nation in a professional way. While considering HR in TISS, known to my knowledge it's mostly corporate oriented and office based works. HR is mostly attractive for its annual packages.
