Sir JJ College of Architecture is one of the most sought-after colleges not only in Maharashtra but across the country.
Unfortunately, the number of seats for a general candidate is very less. if you are a male candidate it's even worse.
The admission process is through the DTE website and the only other college that competes in this process is Rachna Sansad AOA.
So, for any hopes in admission as a general candidate, you need to have a rank under 30 hoping that a lot of people before you choose Rachna Sansad.
To achieve that Rank you need to obtain an aggregate of 150+ which is calculated by considering 50%of your NATA score + board percentile.
I know it seems difficult but best of luck:D

Hi Priyanshu,
Here are some of the tip that will help you in preparation of CPT exam:
1. Prioritize Accounts
Accounting is a mark-fetching subject in CA CPT. In case you have commerce background; you are already acquainted with the fundamentals of Accounts. Try to solve as many problems as you can, covering all the chapters.
2. Mercantile Law
This is next to Accounts, with regard to fetching marks in the CA CPT. You should learn various provisions of the Contract Act, Sale of Goods Act, Negotiable Instrument Act, Partnership Act and Law of Torts. Make clear concept of the explanation of certain legal terminologies and their implications. You should also understand the implications of some important cases related to various acts.
3. Economics
In the CA CPT, this is comparatively, an easier subject and the Macro Economics part of it is more mark-fetching if you have made clear conception in the theory. It is about the study of national economics and of the government policies taken up for affecting the economic performance of a nation.
4. Quantitative Aptitude
This subject may seem little difficult to you if you are not very good at math. But, Statistics will be easier than math.
So, while preparing for your CA CPT, you can concentrate on Statistics by conceptualizing the theory and work out problems from averages, correlation and regression, differentiation and integration and theoretical distribution.
6. Reading Method
Read fast, the first page for five minutes and then read slowly to
comprehend the topic clearly. After completion of a chapter in this way,attempt all the questions given in the book and then check the answers
given.
7. Revision Method
Whilemaking the revision, take up those areas where you have answered
incorrectly at your first attempt. This process of revision should be
repeated till you are fully-versed and correct on a particular chapter.
8. Practice Method
Practiceto solve the past year questions and the probable questions for your
ensuing CA CPT. It is here that you may experience difficulties. In thatcase, join a reputed CA coaching institute.
9. Scheduled Study
Chalkout a well-planned study schedule and adhere to the timings rigidly. Inthis regard, you can get better guidance if you join a CA coaching
institute where you can take up mock tests.

Yes, it is good for engineering. Placement programme:
You can apply and intern as many times as you want but the placement office and professors help you in finding an internship during 3rd year which is a mandatory one. Microsoft and Google have Student Partner and Student Embassador programs. These are the companies that are on campus for CS:
Amazon, ADP, CA Commvault, Capital IQ, Cisco, Dell, D. E. Shaw, Deloitte, GE, Honeywell, Oracle, Microsoft, Google, Syntel etc. Amazon, Google and D. E. Shaw hire 1 or 2 people. The other companies hire about 56. Almost everyone from my class ended up with multiple job offers. Average pay for Google, MS etc. Was in the range 10- 12 LPA. It was around 67 for the rest. I still feel OU has a lot to catch up to reach NIT and IIT standards. Better faculty, students who are passionate to learn, diversity will make the college much better. This was all back in 2012. I'm not aware of the current scenario.
