Shivaji College, part of Delhi University, admits students based on a merit/cut-off system. The admission process involves both offline and online forms, along with document verification. The reviewer opted for Geography due to an interest in earth and solar system studies. The Geography faculty is highly qualified, with a student-to-teacher ratio of 16:1, ensuring individualized attention. The department boasts multiple labs, including computer, chemistry, physics, biology, botany, and geography labs, supporting a conducive learning environment.
Annual fees range from INR 12,000 to INR 25,000, with reduced fees in subsequent years. Financial aid is available, with fee waivers for ST students and concessions for economically weaker sections. Families earning below INR 4 lakh can be fee-exempt, whereas incomes between INR 4 lakh and INR 8 lakh enjoy a 50% fee reduction. Scholarships offer refunds from 40% to 70% post-interview. Placements and internships are facilitated by an active Placement Cell, coordinating with the Central Placement Cell of Delhi University, but opportunities are more accessible for corporate sectors.
Around 40–50 companies, such as Amazon and Flipkart, engage in placements, with about 40% of students securing jobs. Internships, often externally sourced, provide stipends between Rs 3,000-Rs 4,000, mainly in tech firms. Despite limited placement scope for some courses like Geography, the college offsets this with extensive facilities and skill development workshops.
