Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) Recruitment 2026: 11 Administrative Assistant Vacancies

This role is ideally suited for candidates holding a Bachelor's or Master's degree (especially in Commerce) with at least two years of secretarial or administrative experience in HR, finance, academic, or related fields. Strong computer proficiency, excellent English communication skills, and familiarity with ERP systems are essential. Individuals seeking valuable contractual experience within a prestigious government-aided educational institution, and who are ready to join promptly, will find this opportunity fitting.

Candidates primarily seeking a permanent position or a higher pay scale should reconsider, as this is a consolidated salary for a temporary/contractual role (up to one year, extendable). Those lacking the mandated two years of specific secretarial/administrative experience or the required computer and ERP proficiencies will not meet the eligibility criteria. Individuals unwilling to work in Mumbai or who cannot join within 15 days of selection should also note these conditions.

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) is a well-respected Deemed University, operating under the Ministry of Education, Government of India. While the Administrative Assistant position is contractual, it offers a strong institutional affiliation and relevant work experience within a central government-aided body, which can significantly enhance a candidate's professional profile for future career advancement, particularly within the public sector. The role provides exposure to diverse administrative functions but offers limited long-term growth directly within this specific temporary assignment.
