An entrance exam is conducted separately for both the faculties.Its one of easiest exams. In the faculty of arts, there are 120 questions which are compulsory for everyone. You have to choose either English or Hindi to answer in section B which consists 30 questions. So that makes it 150.
+3 marks for a correct answer and -1 for a wrong one. 0 for an unattempted one. It is an overall 450 marks paper.
Questions are easy except that bio section which has usually 20 - 25 ques. One who has not studied bio in 10+2 would find it very difficult. The score of 15/60 is very good. But even if you leave that section thoroughly still you could top the exam.
Around 25 questions are asked from mental ability, logical reasoning and elementary mathematics Level of these questions remain very ordinary and a little practice could make you able to score 100%. Avoid overconfidence.
25 to 30 questions are from history (mainly history of India). Questions are straightforward and factual in nature. Go through higher secondary level books of history. Even if you remember 20% of what you have studied, a score of over 80% is very achievable. A little interest in history and you have qualified the exam. Very scoring section.
Questions from geography and constitution along with economics have a weight of anything between 20 to 25. Knowledge of 10th level would be sufficient or you can just go through any good book of GK like Lucent or Chronicle.
Rest of the paper consists questions from current affairs, latest sports events, general science etc. This is the pattern for faculty of arts.
Faculty of social sciences follows a bit different pattern. Their questions are divided in history, economics, political science and geography. Questions are a bit harder than that of arts. Now, I am not going to repeat all that of arts.

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is one of the best colleges for an undergraduate and post-graduate course in India. This college was established in 1969 by the central government.
Now see the mistakes student do during preparation and while giving the exam:
1.While preparing for the exam, always keep the syllabus is in your head so that you can check what you have to study and what you have studied till date. This will help you in not studying more than the syllabus.
2. Always check the pattern of the exam before attempting the exam as this year JNU has introduced negative marking. Be prepared for this from home so that in the exam hall, you don't need to worry.
3. Always follows the exam instructions in the exam hall because a small mistake will cost a lot in exam hall so read the admit card carefully as all the instruction are mentioned on it or on the exam question booklet.
4. Always check your admit card to know what all is needed or allowed in the exam hall. There is no need to carry anything which is not in use for you or not allowed in the exam.

Hello, KJ Somaiya College of Arts and Commerce is one of the best in Mumbai. In fact, it was ranked 2nd in a recently held survey of colleges in and around Mumbai. The excellent academics of this college have been recognised by authorities and college has been granted with 'autonomous status', a rare honor indeed.
Sophia College of Women, on the other hand too ranks very high in this survey but definitely with a little score.
So, if a student is a male, there is no need for worrying since admission can be taken only in one college. But on the other hand, Sophia college is open only for female students. This gives them the choice of getting admission in either of both colleges.
Both colleges have a very good reputation in Mumbai and a male student must attempt admission in Somaiya while female students must seek admission in Sophia college.
