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.

Hi,
Over the time, Psychology has come up as a popular career choice among the students. Career options like teaching, psychologist, counselor, etc. is another reason for why people are becoming more inclined towards this field of education. The science of human behavior emerged in Germany and during the World War psychology traveled to United States and emerged in India approx. 70 years ago. Since then our Indian psychologists have worked really hard to recognize psychology as a separate discipline.

Psychology is a study of behavior, mind, work, conscious and non-conscious thoughts of the people. And politics is the study in which students are trained so that they can take a decision with other's help.
Politics has a better scope as compared to psychology as there is less use of a person who observes instead of the one who guides them. Right now in the country, there are many politicians who are not eligible for this. But when a proper training and education are given to them, everything works fine. For this, there is a separate subject that is political science in which one can learn about analysis of the political system, theoretical and practical application of politics.
There is also a great scope in future. One can get into civil services after graduating from this or one can become a guide or speechwriter for any political party or become a political leader and an educated well-trained person can really do something great in this field.
