  • Hi Ram,
    In general,eligibility for MSW or Master in Social Work is a bachelors degree in any discipline.But it completely depends on the Institute you choose.

    For example,The Tata Institute of Social Sciences accepts any bachelors degree.Further you have to take part in group discussion and personal interview conducted by the institute.But in case of Delhi Institute Of Social Work,a bachelor's degree in social work with a minimum aggregate of 50 per cent or a bachelor's degree in any other discipline with a minimum aggregate of 60 per cent is needed.
