It has earned recognition as an institution of repute from different Ministries of the Government of India (GoI); State Governments; international agencies, such as the United Nations; and the non-government sector, both national and international. A high degree of freedom and autonomy shape the positive work ethos and creativity in the Institute facilitating strong linkages between education, research, field action and dissemination. In recognition of its social contribution and academic excellence, it was awarded a 5-Star rating by NAAC in 2002. In 2009, TISSs re-accreditation assessment outcome is a grade A with a score of 3.88 out of 4 (under the new grading system of the NAAC), the highest score by any institution in the country.

During 20102011, a total of 142 research and documentation projects were ongoing at the Institute and funded by Central Ministries and State governments; NGOs and Trusts; national and international organisations, and industry.

These FAPs focus on the empowerment of marginalised groups, testing new approaches and strategies in response to changing social realities, facilitating development of field-based knowledge and practicetheory continuum, among others. They have always played an integral role in the curriculum of social work education.

(ii) Grading for the Total Programme: The grade points obtained, for each course offered during the programme, multiplied by the credit hours given to the course, are added up and divided by the total number of credit hours for the entire programme. (iii) To qualify for the Executive Postgraduate Diploma in Human Resources Management, a student should get at least a grade point of 4 letter grade (C+) in individual courses and field work, and should maintain a minimum grade point average of 4.
