Shivaji College's life science program offers admission based on merit, specifically class 12th marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. For instance, applicants with an 84.33% score in PCB were admitted on the 5th cut-off list. The program is renowned for its supportive and experienced faculty, particularly in the Botany and Zoology departments, described as awesome and nice, respectively. The annual fees for the courses range from Rs 10,000 to Rs 30,000, inclusive of examination fees, security money, admission fees, and ID card fees.
The college's placement cell is active, with about 60% of students securing final placements and 80% obtaining internships, primarily starting from the 5th semester. Top companies like Allen, ICICI, and Genpact participate in the placement fairs, with the highest salary package being 4 LPA and an average of 3.6 LPA. However, science students have limited placement options, with about 30% placed in pharmaceutical companies. Scholarships are available, primarily for girls based on income and to top rankers annually.
The college also offers financial aid and fee concessions for economically weaker sections, covering up to 50% of fees for eligible students. The BSc Life Sciences fees are approximately Rs 23,000 for the first year, Rs 22,000 for the second year, and Rs 19,000 for the third year. Although these fees are higher than some other Delhi University colleges, they include lab and tuition fees, with the college providing infrastructure and facilities that justify the costs.
