Shivaji College has been a sanctuary of learning and inspiration which has enriched my personal and academic development in countless ways. The institution’s commitment to academic excellence is evident through its faculty members. They are also extremely supportive, encouraging us to push our boundaries and learn some of the most important life lessons.

Having been given the opportunity to work in different departmental and cultural societies, I was able to discover and develop multiple facets of my personality. Beyond academic growth, the college has fostered my interest in managerial duties, helping me become a more vocal and confident individual.

And this is what Shivaji College is about, it’s a place where one will get a great number of opportunities and experiences to achieve their goals and do good for the society.

In the heart of bustling Delhi, amidst the corridors of Shivaji College, a transformative journey unfolded for me, shaping not only my academic prowess but also enriching my soul with invaluable experiences. Graduating with a BA (H) in Political Science in the batch of 2020-2023 was just the beginning; it was the mentors and societies that illuminated my path, turning each moment into a cherished memory.

Under the guidance of our esteemed mentor, S.S. Rana Sir, I discovered the true essence of political science – his wisdom was a guiding light through the labyrinth of theories, shaping my understanding with every insightful lecture. Alka Mam's compassionate approach nurtured not only intellect but also empathy, reminding me of the importance of kindness in every endeavour.

Bishnu Sir's scholarly intellect mesmerized us all, weaving intricate narratives that sparked curiosity and critical thinking. Ravi Sir's unwavering motivation fueled our ambitions, urging us to strive for success even in the face of adversity. Mohan Sir's accessibility knew no bounds, his door always open for guidance and support.

Himmat Sir's lively experiences breathed life into our academic journey, infusing each lesson with real-world relevance and practical insights. Together, they formed a tapestry of mentorship that shaped not just our academic pursuits but also our character and values.

The Democrats society served as a beacon of practical learning, transporting us beyond the confines of textbooks into the real world of seminars, quizzes, field excursions, and even our inaugural Youth Parliament. These experiences not only broadened my horizons but also instilled in me a sense of responsibility towards society, empowering me to advocate for change and strive for excellence.

One highlight of my journey was the unforgettable trip to Jaipur during my sixth semester. It was a convergence of exploration and learning, where academic discourse merged seamlessly with cultural immersion, leaving an indelible mark on my soul.

As I now tread the path of higher education with a pursuit of Masters in Political Science, I carry with me the lessons learned and the memories cherished from my alma mater. Shivaji College, with its nurturing environment and dedicated mentors, has sculpted me into the individual I am today.

To my mentors and peers at Shivaji College, I extend my deepest gratitude for believing in me, guiding me, and inspiring me to reach for the stars. May the light of knowledge continue to illuminate the path of all who walk through the hallowed halls of our alma mater.

As I recollect about my time at Shivaji College, A wave of gratefulness washes over me. When I stepped into the blessed halls of this institution in 2020, I was a mere seedling, full of potential but in need of nurturing. The journey through my years at Shivaji was a transformative one, shaped by the collective wisdom and unwavering guidance of the exceptional faculty in the Botany Department. Since the first day of the course, the professors engaged me with their experience and enthusiasm for teaching. This made me curious and engaging teaching methods and dedication to imparting knowledge made me love learning.

In addition to the classroom, my involvement in the Eco Club was very central in shaping who I was as a person. I was a newbie when I entered the group and had the enthusiasm of learning in order to support the club’s noble cause of conserving the environment. They appreciated my sincerity and passion, and in my final year, I was elected as the President of the Club. During my time in the capacity of a member, engaging in planning of events, and representing the group in different forums was an invaluable lesson in problem solving, team work, and speaking. This journey was a great success when I was honored with the “Student of the Year” award. This was a result of the support I received from my professors, who encouraged and pushed me to reach my full potential.

It is with this rich legacy of college and its vision and mission of developing a well-rounded scholar complemented with a distinguished faculty and state-of-the-art facilities, that this institution has been churning out excellent scholars and pioneers in different fields. I will always cherish my time in Shivaji College as it has given me the opportunity to explore the subject I love, develop my abilities, and become a responsible and self-confident person who is ready to embrace the challenges of the future with open arms.

My time at Shivaji College was a collage of holistic development. From Day one, I was engaged by the college in various pursuits, whether it was academic, or extracurricular.

Academia wise, the faculty at the Department of Political Science was really a blessing in disguise. From navigating complex theories and ideas with Dr Preeti, learning about Constitutional values and development from Mr Mohan to engaging in discussions in Comparative Politics with Dr Kamal, gaining insights into the Public Policy domain by Dr. Himmat and learning valuable strategies and perspectives on International Relations from Dr. Alka Mudgal, the college only deepened my interest in the discipline of Political Science and honed my rational thinking and curiosity.

In terms of extracurricular activities, the college never disappointed in the least bit. From organising seminars on various topics and issues to engaging students in different fun or cultural activities and the various clubs that are present within the campus walls, the college has every slice of life to offer.

I am delighted and proud to share that I have successfully graduated with a B.Sc. (Botany Honors) from Shivaji College. From the moment I stepped into the department, I was welcomed by a warm and supportive community of faculty.

The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, blending theoretical knowledge with practical applications. The well-equipped lab has allowed me to engage in hands-on experiments, deepening my understanding of complex botanical concepts. One of the highlights of my academic journey was participating in field trips and research projects that took us beyond the classroom. One of the most enriching aspects was the field trips, tours specially “Trip to Palampur CSIR-IHBT” and workshops, seminars provide hands-on experience and real-world exposure.

The faculty members their expertise and dedication to teaching have been a constant source of inspiration. They are always approachable, offering valuable guidance and encouragement, whether it is during lectures, lab sessions, or one-on-one discussions.

In addition to academics, my role as the cultural head for the Fragrances in organizing the events was a challenging yet fulfilling experience that taught me leadership, teamwork, and event management skills. Attending the Superb fest further enriched my college life, providing an opportunity to connect with peers, showcase talents, and celebrate our collective achievements. These events added a lifelong memorable memories to my journey at Shivaji College. Truly I am very grateful to my professors and to Shivaji college for shaping me into the person I am today.

Reflecting on my time at Shivaji college, I can confidently say that the education and experiences I gained there have been instrumental in shaping both my professional and personal life. The foundational knowledge and skills I acquired there have proven invaluable as I've navigated my career and pursued my goals. The resources and support services at Shivaji college were exceptional. The ongoing support and guidance from the alumni network have also been a great asset.

I would like to mention that all the faculty members were not just educators but mentors who genuinely cared about my growth and success. Their expertise and dedication to teaching provided me with a solid grounding in my field of study. I am glad that I am still in contact with them and get guidance whenever I require. Also, the friendships and connections I made during those years have lasted well beyond graduation, providing a network of support and collaboration in my journey.

Looking back, I am immensely grateful for the comprehensive education and enriching experiences. The values and knowledge instilled in me during my time there have been a constant source of strength and inspiration. I am proud to be an alumnus of Shivaji college and look forward to staying connected with this incredible institution.

Each and every one of us experiences different milestone occasions that prove to be life-changing. This institution was my turning point, and it proved to be one of the most significant part of my life. This college taught me the actual value of knowledge and provided me with a glimpse into real life.

Here, I witnessed the true transition that occurred in me as I progressed to become a botany honors graduate. Not only the curriculum but also the research activities were fueled in the Botany Department in the form of innovation projects. The glimpses of the research environment enlightened me to take up research as a career option and become a doctorate in botany.

The well-trained and knowledgeable faculty deserves praise as they polish you and assist you in visualizing and realizing your own worth and potential. They advised me to make wise decisions, explore, and discover my true calling. I couldn't be more thankful to them for giving me the best years of my life; even today, they are always there for me to help and guide.

From being a botany honors student to teaching botany honors students at Delhi University, my life has come full circle. I feel immense gratification when I tell my own students that I have completed my graduation from Shivaji College. I am, and I will always remain, a proud Shivajian.

My time at Shivaji College was filled with momentous occasions. I was part of the first batch under the semester system (B.Sc. (H) Botany 2010-2013). Our seniors were clueless, and we, the first years, were equally uncertain. Reflecting on it now, it has been 10 years since I graduated from the Botany department, and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything. We had the best Botany faculty in the University of Delhi, and our teachers always went above and beyond for us.

I learned many valuable lessons from my time at Shivaji College, extending far beyond classroom learning. I served as the Secretary of the NSS, was a founding member of Vibgyor—the Fine Arts Society of Shivaji College, and was the president of the Botany Department Society. Teachers from every department, not just Botany, consistently encouraged students to participate in co-curricular activities. There were no dull days at Shivaji College; we had engaging field trips and classroom activities that challenged us to apply ourselves.

Now, as a teacher myself, I strive to create a classroom environment that is as safe and nurturing as the one I experienced at Shivaji College.

My journey as a student at History Shivaji College, was crucial in transforming me from a shy girl into a confident individual.The first two years of college passed by with hectic round the clock lectures, interspersed with seminars and creative activities. In the third year, the college switched over to the virtual mode, but there was not a monotonous moment. The teachers made it lively and interactive by organising virtual tours of historical sites and Museums. We explored and enjoyed the various facets of history through webinars, film screenings and reviews as we had done in real classroom interactions. Participation and organization of online competitions on themes related to the discipline, helped me cope with isolation caused by social distancing during the pandemic. The History Department helped me to develop critical thinking and learn innovative ways to delve into the past and to comprehend the ways it shapes the present. The Debating society and the History Society gave me opportunity to enhance my public speaking and leadership qualities. Photography and filmmaking society furnished ample opportunities to hone my creative skills.

My experience with Shivaji College in general, and the history department of the College in particular has left an indelible imprint on my personality. The faculty works tirelessly day in and day out to quench our thirst for knowledge and refine our understanding. In the process they teach us to be keen scholars and motive us to be responsible citizens. The pedagogical, theoretical and practical knowledge of history as a discipline I gained from being a part of such a prestigious department cannot be replicated, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The environment of the institution and the people that constitute it – the teaching and non-teaching faculty, the students – is very refreshing and inspiring concomitantly, pushing us to be better, more inquisitive, and more humble. They reasserting our beliefs in the ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity. I would like to thank Shivaji College and the History Department for shaping me into the person I am today, and for providing me with such a big and inclusive platform for quenching my curiosity and my love for the discipline of history. I will forever be indebted to this institution.

As a student of history ironically it is often tough to articulate past experiences or events in a set of coherent ideas and thoughts. However, Shivaji College has been a bliss in terms of opportunity and exposure for my academic curiosities and thirst for knowledge. Thanks to the sincere efforts of the faculty members from the Department of History, who held me dear and nurtured my blooming mind. They mentored and directed relentlessly and channelize my energies to make me an avid reader of the subject. I'll always remain indebted to the Department for initiating me into the “Historian's Craft” and teaching me to critically analyze the past from a myriad of perspectives and deploy those for the development of an inclusive society. On the whole, it has been a surreal and a rewarding experience. The diverse college activities have made me aware of our collective responsibility to strive for the prosperity of the nation with a humane approach.

I am writing this testimonial to express my profound admiration and appreciation for my experience as part of the Centre for Promotion of Inclusivity, Shivaji College. One of the main objectives of this college society is to promote a culture of acceptance and inclusivity in our college campus. I have been a member of this society since my first year, and over the course of three years, I have experienced working and interacting with students from diverse backgrounds.

It was during this time that I discovered my passion for content creation, which I have now started pursuing as a hobby.

During my bachelors at Shivaji College, I have experienced multidimensional growth along with the invaluable knowledge of my coursework.

Pursuing major in Economics was particularly captivating owing to the staggering department at the college, and the team of astounding professors whose dedication inspired me to excel academically and beyond. Being the Vice President and part of the SPADE family, a core member of the Economics Society and part of several other societies, I was exposed to the world of acquiring skills like teamwork, leadership, and spontaneity, which always came along with the element of fun.

I just want to tell you that I along with each and every person I encountered during these three years of college was as scared, nervous and anxious as you currently are. So trust me it will be just FINE.

Those three golden years of college are over now...

We, the batch of 2020-2023 started our college journey in an online setup during peak Covid-19, where everything was shifted to online mode, from classes to society auditions to internship interviews...everything was either on Zoom or Google Meet or MS Teams. I remember the first day as a Business Economics student, I was so hesitant to even open my camera and mic for an introduction. Never in my wildest dreams, I could have thought that one day, three years down the line, I will achieve the Gold medal for the Student of the Year title from this college.

All those online classes, all those society hardships, all those fest memories, all those ratta-fication till the last hour before our semester exams...it went by fast just like every adult ever told us.

I would like to thank my Department of Business Economics for always supporting its students and guiding them to a brighter future. And especially to my teachers who always believed in me.

Hopping to the next adventure.

My life in Shivaji College began with these blissful emotions and the span of 3 years feels so dreamy as if it were yesterday when a nervous 1st year boy entered through those gates and left like a family member of this Shivaji College.

College life is less about studies but more of experiences and I'm sure that I had my best experiences here. From the classes with professors which eventually turned in interactive sessions to hanging out with comrades in the sports complex, Shivaji contributes all to shape your personality in the finest way.

The fest days are the best and being in societies and contributing in it with efficient team work is one of the most cherished feelings you'll get here.

Academically the college has provided a conducive environment to learn and exchange our ideas with students from all corners of the country. Even the professors, staff and the seniors make you feel more like a friend by making you inhibit their multifarious experiences of life.

The contribution of this campus in my life has been immensely remarkable and these moments in this campus will always be cherished and got what is says as - A happy start to the life ahead.

Initially, we began our college life on on-line mode, but as college opened on the off-line mode, I explored more of India, learned about its culture, food, music, and a bit of Hindi. The coursework was rigorous, and studying in a foreign country where they occasionally use their native language can be a challenge. Still, I stayed on top of my studies and gained immense experience in business economics while interacting with diverse bright minds from different backgrounds. Campus life was amazing, and I felt connected to my new community through college festivals, making friends, and getting involved in campus activities.

"College has given me the confidence I need" – This line best describes my stay at Shivaji College.

Hello, I am Somya Sharma, an Alumni of Shivaji College from the batch of B.com. Hons. 2015-18. I have learned immensely during my stay here. The best part about the college is the exposure that it gives to the students, be it because of the teachers or the college societies. This college is blessed with wonderful and loving teachers who motivate you to keep working hard. Apart from this I was largely occupied with the numerous societies of the college like, Enactus, Kaizen, Placement Cell, EDC etc. These have primarily helped me to grow personally as well as professionally. I was Placed with EY, Pwc, RBS, Concentrix etc. through College placements during the year 2018.

Thank you for all the love Shivaji 😊

It is my pleasure to share my experience about my college. Shivaji college has given me a lot of things which I could not get from anywhere in those three years. Beside my course B.A(H) political science the best experience I got was in cultural society of Shivaji college. The activities of cultural committee, and the support of teachers is the reason of my success. College gave me opportunity to work as vice president of cultural committee which gave me my most memorable moments. Whatever service and contribution I could give to College as President of the music society Reverb society could be possible only due to support of teachers of the cultural team. I am very thankful of all my teachers and I am very lucky that I am a Shivajian.

“Since the first moment I came to Shivaji I was met with nothing but energy and enthusiasm. The faculty and staff at this institution are top rate. They all want their students to do well. This college has so many opportunities for the students to get the help they need… Professors helped me beyond words I can say. Beside studies college gives a platform to the students to discover their talents and fulfill their dreams.

"I am Prabhat Kumar, a proud graduate of Shivaji College from the class of 2017, Department of Computer Science and Engineering. I firmly believe that experiences at the undergraduate level lay the foundation of an individual’s life ahead. And Shivaji College has had the same impact on my life. One of the things I appreciate and remember the most is the fantastic balance that college gave me between academic and non-academic stuff. Something we come to understand and value only after graduating.

Presently I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Indian Institute of Science(IISc), Bengaluru. Taking research as a career is unconventional but again I would say that the roots of the motivation can be traced back to the Innovation Projects that I pursued at Shivaji. Well, the two projects at the top of my mind are SHC-206 and SHC-309 - the year-long projects on real-life problems. Their interdepartmental nature promoted teamwork and fostered appreciation for complementary skills and the methodology of other courses.

After passing out from Shivaji College, I joined IIIT Delhi, where I pursued master’s in computer science with specialization in data engineering. Furthering my interest in Artificial Intelligence. I completed my dissertation on Deepfake detection.

Apart from academics, the free-flowing life and the carefree nature of people is one essential aspect that I have inherited from my alma mater. It has helped me develop a positive outlook on life events in general and academics in particular.

I reiterate what I said earlier, life as an undergraduate is a trailer of the real world. The years at Shivaji continue to affect my being till date and they will continue to do so for many more years to come. I would love to guide my juniors who want to embark on a career in research. Feel free to reach out to me through the Alumni Relations Cell. Long live Shivaji.

I spent three years at Shivaji college, and this was an absolutely unforgettable period in my life. The thing that I had enjoyed the most is the caring and friendly environment in this college. Since the first moment I came to Shivaji college I had met with nothing but energy and enthusiasm. I had the greatest time ever and made some of the best friends a person Could have. All of the teachers were AMAZING !!!!. They all want their students to do well. "I really believe, it is a privilege to come to this college and I gained the experience and confidence I need".

I am Vipin Kumar Tomar, first “Student of the year” awardee from Commerce stream (B. Com hons) in Shivaji College for the year 2015-16. Many thanks to Madam Principal for this & also thanks to Faculty of Commerce who nominated my name for this Award. I also want to share my experience here. In the College, WDC and NSS had provided me very nice platform to work not only for society but also the Nation. Experience with these societies was great where we had a very strong feeling "To do Something for Others". For all guidance, motivation & support I sincerely thank Madam Mridula Ji & Madam Nishtha Ji. Our Commerce Faculty inspired and motivated us to work for our target and helped the students a lot in every situation of doubt and difficulty. Finally, I thank SHIVAJI College for providing an atmosphere which changed my Personality to more confident person & promise that I will definitely live to expectations of my teachers in near future😇. I love my Shivaji College. Thanks, with my folded hands🙏.

I joined Shivaji College in 2013. My four years were fun filled and a learning experience. I was awarded the Student of the year award in 2016.

I got the opportunity to represent my college in different technical events like Sankalanorganized by DUCS and Technohelia by JNU. I was vice president of Websters and also organized the Code Cracker event every year from 2015-2017. College also provided me with the opportunity to develop a Feedback Portal, to collect and analyze student responses regarding college infrastructure and staff. College Placement Cell, provided me with the opportunity for two months Internship at Hannover-Re in 2015 and 2016.

My professors were quite amazing. We used to have interactive sessions with our teachers. I have a close bond with my professors, as they were always there to guide me towards my carrier path. They played a crucial role in helping me to decide what to do next. They motivated me for GATE, which later helped me getting admission in IIIT Delhi M.TechProgramme.I am in continuous touch with my professors, and still seek their guidance whenever I need.

After college, I joined AXA France Vie - India Reinsurance Branch as a Software Developer from July 2017 till May 2019. I have joined IIIT Delhi from July 2019 for postgraduation. I did four months research internship at NII, Tokyo from February 2020-May 2020.

My three years in College were like a roller coaster ride.When I first came to college I was lost,couldn’t find my way to classes but now after 3 years I know every nook and corner of the college like the back of my hand.I have beautiful memories from my college life from bunking classes to hanging out at C-point, having cake fights on birthdays, jam sessions in college fest, from running pole to pole during fests and so much more that I can’t describe.

I made some good friends and now bidding them farewell is the hardest part! I would like to thank all my teachers for helping me sail through my journey in Shivaji. Until next time :)

A place that introduced me to the true essence of literature, A place that made me fall for novels, A place that made me love myself even more!

Shivaji College has been one of the best decision of my life. The college helped me rediscover my abilities and helped build my confidence. At every step I learnt something new about my personality. I was able to grow and nurture my skills in every dimension. Be it sports, extra curricular or academics the college always supported whatever the students wanted to pursue. The society, clubs, events, competitions- I participated in almost everything that happened in college and with the help of my teachers was able to balance it with my academic responsibilities.

I pursued B A(H) Business Economics from Shivaji College. I was one of the founding members of TEDxShivajiCollege and was a part of numerous other societies. Throughout my journey here, I was supported and motivated by my peers and teachers. My teachers always helped me combat whatever roadblocks I faced.

Being at Shivaji, it was not just a degree, it was a journey of learning, discovering my true callings, and getting prepared for life. And last but not the least, Shivaji College gave me some of my best friends, teachers, and mentors whom I will cherish for life. Those three golden years were the best of my life.

Shivaji college was where my journey with literature began. I'm pursuing Masters in English and a diploma course in German language rn. I graduated only 2 years back but it doesn't feel the same. Looking back now, I badly miss all those lectures I attended and even the ones that I didn't. Actually, I haven't achieved much already but I couldn't miss the chance of writing a testimonial for my college for it has given me way too many memories to cherish. It was my immense luck and fortune that I got to be a part of this College. It really helped me grow as a person. The entire faculty of English department left no stone unturned in shaping our future. At times, It made me realise that life's not an Agatha Christie novel. It's a lot messier. But then it also helped me cope with them. I have travelled all over the world while sitting in those bamboo rooms. And it is really disheartening to know that I wouldn't be able to travel that way, ever again.

Shivaji, with all thy faults, I love thee still.

My time at Shivaji College was the time of my life. The preeminent faculty here not just empowers a student with knowledge and confidence but also brings the best out of you as an individual. The guidance and support from the teachers is incredible as they helped me convert my endeavors into a reality. As an economics student I felt that the economics dept here was especially good. When I went for my Master program, I felt I was well prepared.

The excellent facilities such as the library gave me the perfect atmosphere for completing assignments and exploring beyond the classroom. The college is very supportive for students who want to form societies around their passion. The huge sports field and the basketball court helped me enjoy my time out of studies. The Bru café provided a good source of caffeine when you wanted to get through the early morning lectures. During my time here, I made friendships will definitely last a lifetime. In all, Shivaji College is the perfect place to lay the foundation for your career while having a fun time!

In life comes various benchmark moments that prove to be your life changers. This institution was my milestone which proved to be my biggest life changer. Here in this very college, I learned the true importance of knowledge and not just that, this place gave me a glimpse of what real life is. In short, I learned to be responsible, towards my decisions that I was to make going forward.

Here, I witnessed the real transition that happened with me when I became a serious economics honours student from a vagabond that I was when I first entered the gates. The credit goes to the faculty for they refine you and help you visualise and realise your worth and capabilities. Being in college, one thinks they are free to explore and are out of the stringent system that kept them grounded for good 12 years but trust me, college is so much more than just freedom.

It is the beginning of the rest of your life as here, you have to choose what’s best for you. The professors here, they not only guide you to make sensible choices but also let you explore and find your true calling.

I can not be more grateful to them for giving me the best years of my life that I cherish every time I think about them. In short, this institution and everyone who is a part of it, will help you to groom yourself academically and thus will help you refine your personality in many ways.

Nostalgia washes over me whenever I think or even hear of Shivaji College as all the vivid memories of college-life come alive. Being a part of the Economics Department was one of the best things to happen in my life, both on the personal and professional front, as it inculcated many intra and interpersonal skills in me. The department believes that books are not the only way of learning and ensures that students get exposure to the practical aspect of the field too. One of my favourite parts was the lecture series organized by our department where eminent speakers in the field of Economics were invited to talk about contemporary and relevant issues.

The faculty was extremely encouraging and a constant support throughout and even after college. My experience of being the Public Relations Head of Epitome, the Economics Society, was tremendous. It became an opportunity to hone my skills, be it work ethics or enhancing my leadership qualities. The faculty, the classes and my memories there have made a deep-seated impact on my life and perspectives.

The college always ensured an eclectic blend of extra-curricular and academic activities. The various cells and clubs hosted many events in a fun and interesting manner yet remaining informative for students. I am happy to see new cells, societies and clubs cropping up now. It is an honour to have been a part of this college

My three years at Shivaji college have been a wonderful experience of learning and prolific exposure to many opportunities in real world. It gave me an opportunity to meet different kinds of people and learned some great life lessons as well. The constant support and motivation of faculty members of Economics department has helped me to become a better version of myself. Regular classes provided a consistent learning and assessment of my academic performance. And because of that I was able to score the highest grades in my batch. Apart from academics, being a part of various societies helped me understand teamwork, leadership and effective communication. I fell extremely honored to call myself a part of this prestigious institution that ahs provided me a memory to cherish for lifetime

I had a great experience being part of this university. The great panel of faculty members were always there to help, guide and support us not only in studies but in our careers and life in general. All they wanted was us to be better humans and shine in our careers. No matter where I am, I will always be a proud Shivajian.

The whole aura of the Shivaji College has been very positive and productive throughout, as it provides you with the umpteen number of opportunities, to organize and participate in International Conferences, DBT sponsored training, cultural fest, department fests and much more, which helps one in gaining experience and knowledge. My journey here, has been great. I was a part of the editorial board of our Department’s yearly magazine for 2 years, participated in poster presentations and many other competitions, which boosted my confidence and helped me in brushing up my IQ, EQ and AQ skills. Since, biochemistry as a subject required both attention and focus, I was able to juggle between both the academics and extra-curricular activities, only with the support and guidance of my teachers. I will cherish all the memories of the college, the friends, the teachers, everything. I am grateful to the college as it has added up more of a character and value to my personality and made me a better person today.

"Shivaji College is like a tree firmly rooted in the values while expanding its crown of branches in the heights of excellence. The affection and respect from faculty members, non-teaching staff and colleagues is what sets Shivaji College apart from other institutes. The college helped me transform my personality from a rigid, hesitant person to a flexible, confident individual. Various platforms gave me the opportunity to hone my writing skills and get rid of my stage fear. I also got the opportunity to interact with a diverse set of people, and learnt to handle all sorts of opinions and expectations. Along with extra-curricular activities, the progressive lens of the college committed to academic vision enables in the rounded growth of one’s personality."

Shivaji College has been a blessing for me. Since the very first day, I was given the space and support to take part in extra-curricular activities via societies, where I chose to harness debating skills; co-curricular activities, taken care of by the Executive Council of Department of Botany, where I organized and attended workshops, seminars, student competitions, etc., and most importantly, quality education provided by the teachers and the laboratory staff. The teachers encourage students to learn beyond classrooms, they even help them find internships and scholarships. Hence, the student-teacher interaction here is unique, leading to a scientific environment, eventually cultivating healthy aptitude and character. The college empowers the students, and when we leave, the skies are the limits

My experience at Shivaji College for the past three years is nothing but amazing. I spent the majority of my time on the college premises attending lectures, performing practicals, referring books in the library, café, etc securing over 95% in attendance. I particularly enjoyed the practical sessions where actual interactions occur and the students as well as the teachers spent time discussing the chemical experiments. As a northeasterner, I could not understand Hindi well. So, my teachers would explain in Hindi as well as in English so that I could understand. The atmosphere was always peaceful and calm. I could access all the information I require, online through the college website. I made a lot of friends from different parts of the country and learn about new cultures. My classmates are smart, bright, and always helpful. I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to Shivaji College and my department and wish that they continue to bear the fruits of their endeavors.

After hopping and jumping for 2 months on the basis of cut off list I landed into this prestigious college which goes by the name Shivaji College and the best 3 years of my life started with amazing and had learned teachers, lovely friends and not to forget the canteen and the ground where I played innumerable cricket matches, football matches and the College Fest . The college had adorned me with Mr fresher title and made me President of commerce society of the college . In summary, my time in college has enriched my life in many ways. It has provided me with the necessary tools to enhance my skills more, taught me valuable knowledge about this diverse world and people and concepts in general and eventually will enable me to hopefully become more successful in life when I finally graduate and get my degree. All these aspects of college have also made me more well-rounded as a person.

I started my journey at Shivaji College, having heard a lot about the college before I even joined. But the moment I entered the campus, it was clear to me that the college was so much different from what I heard. I can absolutely attest to the fact that the college provides the most supportive and conducive environment to its students. It never felt like the administration or teachers are too far away from the students. Apart from academics, the college allows maximum space to all students to grow in whatever field they wish to enter and this can be seen in the thriving cultural societies functioning in the college and the institutional support they all receive.

It is one of the best colleges of the University of Delhi to study History and all the teachers are enormously dedicated, make a lot of effort towards both pedagogy and mentoring and always strive for our success.

Apart from academics, Shivaji College nurtures young talents through its multifarious societies. I was fortunate to be a part of the NCC of Shivaji College and it helped me evolve as a disciplined person and imbued me with leadership qualities.

My experience at Shivaji College has been both great and memorable for life.

I am grateful to Shivaji College for my overall development with apt mix of academics and extracurricular activities. This college gave me plenty of opportunities in fields of photography, debate, dance, singing, fashion etc. through cultural societies.

NCC and NSS made me more disciplined and responsible. These organisations prepared me to deal with society and contributed to my professional growth.

The professors are dedicated experts in their respective subjects . They took us for field trips to carry out surveys . Travelling to far off places and intercating with different people made us confident , responsible and independent.
