The Tata Institute of Social Sciences and Banyan Academy of Leadership in Mental Health (TISS-BALM) began their collaboration in 2013. Innovation is the cornerstone of The Banyan, BALM, and TISS which are constantly reinventing themselves to best serve the larger community, by building the most well-equipped, democratic, and ethical leaders of tomorrow. The Placement Cell is a student-driven initiative being operated under the guidance of the Dean, a member of the Board of Trustees and the college faculty. The Placement Drive 2022 is being organized to recruit students pursuing their MA in Social Work in Mental Health and MA in Applied Psychology who will be passing out in May 2022. If you are interested in being a part of the Placement Drive for our students, we would request you to kindly send us a mail at placementcell@balm.in.
