The reviewer shares their experience at Shivalik College of Engineering, highlighting the benefits of the Tuition Fee Waiver (TFW) scheme, which drastically reduced fees after scoring 32 marks in the JEE Exam. Despite a lack of awareness among students about this scheme, it provides significant financial relief. The college supports lateral entry into the B.Tech program after completing polytechnic studies. Faculty members are generally supportive and knowledgeable, with most holding PhDs, although there is room for improvement in the quality and quantity of staff, particularly for second-year students. The college features a 1:15 faculty-to-student ratio, with a comprehensive assessment system comprising weekly, monthly, mid-term, and semester exams. Affiliated with UTU, the college sets its practical marks. The fee structure for 2013 was ₹96,000 for the first year and ₹78,000 for subsequent years, while TFW students paid ₹35,000 initially and ₹16,000 for later years. Shivalik College offers robust placement opportunities, attracting top companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, with packages ranging from 4 to 42 LPA and a placement rate of 60% to 93%. Internships, though limited, are available from the 5th or 6th semester, with options from major companies. Scholarships based on entrance test marks, 12th-grade performance, and domicile status are available, with a maximum of ₹25,000 per year. Uttarakhand students receive a ₹12,400 annual relaxation. Tuition fees for B.Tech courses are about ₹103,900 per year, with hostel costs between ₹80,000 to ₹95,000. Overall expenses for a B.Tech degree range from ₹8-9 lakhs.
