TISS Administrative Assistants Recruitment 2026

TISS Administrative Assistants Recruitment 2026: Overview

Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), a deemed university and grant-in-aid institute under the Ministry of Education, is building its academic administration team at the Mumbai Campus. The notice combines senior academic-office support with admission-facing administrative work, giving experienced office professionals a route into a large higher-education institution. Every post is contractual and attached to the Mumbai Campus.

This work sits between students, schools, centres and the institute's central administration. You may deal with admission records, examination coordination, routine correspondence and requests that move between academic units. Accurate English typing and practical office-software ability matter because much of the work involves time-sensitive student data and formal academic records.

Posts and Disciplines

• Senior Administrative Assistant (Academic): a more experienced coordination role supporting academic-office workflows, records, correspondence and links between schools or centres and central administration.
• Administrative Assistant (Academic/Admission): an operational role focused on admission support, student records, routine academic processing and front-line coordination with applicants and academic units.

Post-wise Duties

Senior Administrative Assistant (Academic)

You will coordinate academic-section schedules and records, track correspondence, prepare office documents and help senior administrators keep work moving across schools and centres. The role can include checking pending cases, compiling information for decisions and guiding junior support work where needed.

Administrative Assistant (Academic/Admission)

You will support admission and student-service processes, enter and check information in institutional systems, prepare routine letters and help academic units resolve record-related queries. You should be ready to work across admission, examination and general academic-office tasks as the section's workload changes.
