User:Ajitrathor003/SHIVALIK COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

The Shivalik College of Engineering is a self-financed institution located in the foothills of Shivalik ranges, in the capital city of Uttarakhand, Dehradun, a blend of city life as well as hill culture oftenly referred to as the gateway to the Queen Hills Mussorie and identified as “Education Hub of Northern India”. The college is functional on Shimla Road, 250 KM away from Delhi, 13 KM from Inter State Bus Terminal (ISBT), Dehradun, 16 KM from the Railway Station, Dehradun and 40 KM from Jolly Grant Airport, Dehradun.

Founded in 2005 and became functional in 2008 with the approval of All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Govt. of India, and Ministry of HRD, for engineering courses in various disciplines.

History

Foundation and vision

Mr. Ajay Kumar, Vice Chairman of the college is an engineering graduate with Post Graduate Degree in Management. He joined Larsen & Turbo (L&T), a Multinational Company and served them for about 6 years in a Senior Position. During his service career he came across number of fresh Engineering Graduates from reputed Institutes of Engineering/ Universities enrolled by the companies and found their employers exercising them to rigorous training for period ranging from 6 months to 2 years to make them suitable for their industrial houses as they had sound theoretical knowledge of Engineering subjects but were lacking in practical knowledge of industry specific technology.

“…..Committed to become a Centre of    Excellence by imparting quality engineering education to empower each student so as to succeed in global competitive environment and achieve a remarkable career.”

This state affair motivated Mr. Ajay Kumar to accomplishhis idea of opening an Engineering college wherein the students pursue university syllabus and at the same time receive training of latest technology applied by the industry, simultaneously grooming their personality by improving their traits of logical reasoning, general awareness and communication skill etc. He found salvation of his dream project by establishing a college for Engineering Education at Dehradun, a place known in Asia for school education and over a period of time developed as Education Hub of Northern India.

Early Development

20 acres of green land was acquired by purchase in village Sihnniwala on Shimla Bye-Pass Road, land use change was obtained from the State Govt. and building maps approve from SADA. The execution of building project started in 2005 and completed in 2007.

All laboratories, library were commissioned and application submitted to AICTE for approval of the engineering courses proposed to be started the AICTE carried out the inspection of the college through their expert committee and satisfying themselves with the infrastructure created confirmed to their rigid norms accorded approval to start B.Tech engineering course in session 2008-09, in following disciplines-

•	Civil Engineering •	Mechanical Engineering •	Electrical and Electronics Engineering •	Electronics and Communication Engineering •	Computer Science and Engineering •	Information Technology •	Automobile Engineering

Subsequently Diploma courses in the disciplines of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering were added as second shift programme.

CAMPUS PLACEMENT TRAINING

We at SCE have created a Campus Placement Training Curriculum, which is in addition to the Regular Engineering Curriculum that is being taught in every Engineering College. Our Campus Placement Training Curriculum is designed to take our Students on a Placement Preparation journey, right from the 1st year all the way to the 7th semester in their 4th years with about 400 hrs of training and practice in Mathematics & Verbal Aptitude, Personality Development and Core Engineering Skills. We call this Program - CPT Program and it is a combination of three different courses that we administer over 7 semesters to every Student in SCE. CPT Aptitude- To help facilitate and develop the Students Aptitude Skills in areas of Mathematics and Verbal Language CPT Soft Skills - To help develop the personality and communication skills of our Students CPT Engineering -To help develop the Core Engineering Abilities of our Students in their respective Engineering disciplines. The CPT Program is managed and run in a manner so that a student coming in the 1st year is slowly introduced to the various aspects of Placement and gently pushed to increase his abilities in the dimensions of Aptitude, Personality and Engineering Skills. We start with basic Mathematics and foundational English in the first semester and subsequently increase the quality and quantity of the Subject matter. At the same time our Students go through an introductory process of Group Discussion and Personal Interviews. At the end of 1st year the Student has to undergo a Project Oriented Training of 15 days where they build a Industry oriented Project and get inducted into the 2nd year. With a solid foundation at the end of 1st year, the Student now is ready to dive deeper into the CPT Program in the second year. In this stage of the Curriculum, we push our Students harder and ask off them to start taking more serious mathematics and English Practice, along with a slightly more rigorous Interview and a Group Discussion preparation. At the end of 2nd year and before they enter their 3rd years, our Students are well versed with the Core Engineering Tools of the Industry by going through an intense Industry Engineering Tools exposure Program of 90 hours. The 3rd year is a critical year in the CPT Program as we round off the entire Placement Curriculum once again to refresh and remind them of the Placement Process that is oncoming in the beginning of the next year. With the help of Coaching and Training Officers, our Students take over 50 Aptitude Tests, Personality Interviews and Group Discussions to sharpen and hone on their foundational skills. The beginning of 4th year is marked off by a grilling one month crash course to help them come out in a finished form and be ready to take on the Placement process with confidence and energy. Not to mention, online Test taking is now the standard norm in every Placement Process. The CPT Program conducts two tests every Semester online. This is in addition to over 50 online tests that the Student has to take and complete in the process of completing the CPT Program.

TRANSPORT FACILITY: The college provides transport facility to its day scholars on nominal charges in the buses owned by the college. The buses cover various routes designed to cater for all places in the town with an aim to ensure punctuality of day scholars to attend the classes in college on time. The buses are also provided to the hostellers on holidays for visiting the town and for their picnic and excursions.

PROVISIONS AGAINST RAGGING The college maintains ragging free campus. Anti ragging squads have been formed who are always vigilant to ensure that no fresher is ragged by the seniors. A word of caution is given to the seniors to restrain themselves in committing any act which amounts to ragging and warning them that such acts may invite exemplary punishment in tune to the rulings of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India.

TOBBACO FREE CAMPUS The students soon on their joining the college are counseled to keep themselves away from bad habits of chewing tobacco and pan masala, as it causes cancer and other incurable diseases. WOMEN GRIEVANCE REDRESSAL CELL

Shivalik College of Engineering believes in gender equality and gender justice in all of intervention and practices. Keeping these principles I mind a Women Grievance Redressed Cell has been established in the college which is responsible for looking into complaints filed by female students and female staff about occurrence of Women Grievances in the College campus.
