TISSNET Result 2027: Expected May at admissions.tiss.ac.in, Counselling, Cutoff and Marks Vs Rank

TISSNET Result 2027 refers to the final merit list and admission outcome released by the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) for its postgraduate programmes for the 2027-28 academic year. Since the 2024-25 cycle, TISS replaced its own entrance test with CUET PG (conducted by NTA) and CAT as the qualifying exams — the term "TISSNET 2027" now covers the entire TISS PG admission result process. The final TISS merit list is expected around May–June 2027, after CUET PG 2027 concludes in March 2027 and TISS completes its PI/PAT rounds.

Once TISS publishes the merit list on admissions.tiss.ac.in, you can log in with your application number and date of birth to check your status — selected, waitlisted, or not selected — for programmes like MA, MSW, MHA, MPH, and M.Sc. across TISS campuses in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Tuljapur, and Guwahati.

• TISSNET 2027 result is based on CUET PG 2027 scores for most programmes, and CAT 2026 scores for the MHRDM and ODCL management programmes.
• TISS prepares an Open Merit List and a Category-wise Merit List after combining CUET PG/CAT scores with PI and PAT performance.
• To make the final list, you need to clear both the TISS PI cut-off and the programme’s minimum CUET PG or CAT score threshold.
• SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, and PwD candidates have separate qualifying thresholds and reserved seats across all programmes.
• TISS releases multiple merit lists per track — if you miss the first, you may still be called in rounds 2 or 3.

TISS prepares the final merit list in-house using CUET PG/CAT scores and PI performance — there is no separate TISSNET scorecard for 2027.

TISSNET Result Previous Year Statistics

TISS has seen a major shift in its admission process over the past five years — from the standalone TISSNET to a national exam model. Here is a year-by-year overview of the admission cycle, result timeline, and scale of participation across recent cycles.

One clear pattern: under the old TISSNET, results came within 4 weeks of the exam (TISSNET 2022 result was out just 28 days after the exam). After the switch to CUET PG, the result follows NTA’s larger multi-subject schedule — typically 6–8 weeks post-exam. TISS then adds another 3–4 weeks for PI/PAT and merit list preparation, pushing the final TISS result to May–June each year.

TISS has approximately 875 seats at its Mumbai campus and additional seats across Hyderabad, Tuljapur, and Guwahati — but the number of candidates competing for these seats (roughly 30,000+ in the standalone TISSNET era) makes the selection ratio among the tightest in Indian social sciences PG admissions.

The 2023-24 cycle was the last with a standalone TISSNET. The result was delayed to June 2023 (versus March in the previous year) due to administrative processes around that transition — a 3-month slip compared to the 2022 timeline. From 2024 onwards, the CUET PG route has stabilised the result timeline to April–May for the NTA scorecard and May–June for the TISS merit list.

How to Check TISSNET Result 2027

The TISSNET 2027 result — meaning the TISS merit list for 2027-28 — will be on the official TISS admissions portal. You’ll also need to check your CUET PG scorecard separately on the NTA portal. Here’s how to do both.

To check your TISS merit list result:

• Go to admissions.tiss.ac.in.
• Click on the result or merit list link for the 2027-28 admission cycle.
• Log in with your TISS application number and date of birth.
• Your status — selected, waitlisted, or not selected — will appear on screen.
• Download and save your merit list entry for document verification later.

To check your CUET PG 2027 scorecard:

• Go to the NTA CUET PG official portal (link to be activated after the exam).
• Log in with your CUET PG application number and password.
• Download the scorecard showing your section-wise and total CUET PG score.
• This scorecard is what TISS uses to shortlist you for the PI round.

TISSNET 2027: Scorecard and Merit List Details

After TISS completes the PI and PAT rounds, it publishes the final merit list on the admissions portal. Here is what the merit list entry and TISS result document will contain.

Your TISS result does not carry a percentile or an all-India rank the way NEET or JEE results do. It simply tells you your position on the programme-specific merit list and whether you made the cut for that round.

TISSNET 2027: Qualifying Marks and Cutoff

TISS does not announce a fixed CUET PG or CAT cutoff before the admission cycle begins. The threshold changes every year based on the number of applicants and the seats available in each programme. Based on 2025-26 and 2026-27 trends, here are the approximate score ranges that give you a realistic shot at the PI shortlist.

For CAT-track programmes (MHRDM and ODCL), TISS typically shortlists General category candidates with a CAT overall percentile of around 85 and above. These are indicative ranges — the actual 2027 cutoffs will be determined by TISS after PI rounds and published on admissions.tiss.ac.in.

The cutoff also differs across campuses and programmes. TISS Mumbai programmes for Social Work and Social Sciences are historically the most competitive. Regional campus programmes tend to have comparatively lower score thresholds.

What After TISSNET Result 2027?

Once the TISSNET 2027 merit list is out, your next steps depend on which of the three outcomes you receive.

• Selected: Pay the semester fee on the TISS admissions portal within the deadline (usually 3–5 days) to confirm your seat. Missing this window forfeits your admission.
• Waitlisted: Monitor the portal for the next merit list. TISS typically releases 2–3 lists per track. Respond immediately if your name appears in a later round.
• Not Selected: Explore other PG programmes. TISS occasionally opens a vacancy round closer to the start of the academic year — keep checking the portal through July 2027.

Documents you’ll typically need after selection: graduation marksheets (all semesters), category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS/PwD, if applicable), domicile certificate, CUET PG scorecard or CAT scorecard, two passport-size photographs, and your TISS application printout. The exact list will be in your selection letter.
