TATA INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES (TISS) Recruitment 2026: 5 Non-Teaching Positions (Mason-cum-Painter, Helper, Assistant Electrician)

This opportunity at the esteemed Tata Institute of Social Sciences is ideal for skilled tradespersons looking for short-term contractual engagement (initially six months) in Mumbai. Candidates with experience in masonry, painting, or electrical maintenance, particularly those with a valid Electrician License and ITI certificate for the Assistant Electrician role, will find this suitable. Applicants who value daily wage work and are adaptable to temporary roles in a reputed academic environment should consider applying.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment, long-term career stability, or high-volume recruitment should not apply, as these are temporary, daily wage contract positions with limited vacancies. Those who are not able to physically submit their application or attend an offline interview in Mumbai would also find this unsuitable. The roles are suitable for candidates comfortable with skilled manual work rather than administrative or professional roles.

TISS is a highly reputable Deemed University and a grant-in-aid institute under the Ministry of Education, Government of India, offering a stable and recognized work environment for short-term engagements. While these specific roles are contractual and for skilled trades, working with an institution of TISS's caliber can add value to one's resume and provide exposure to a professional academic setup. However, the prestige is associated with the institution, not necessarily the long-term career progression within these temporary roles.
