Mac iCal Shared Calendar (Exchange)

One liner:
iCal - Menu =>  'Preferences'  => 'Accounts' => 'Delegation'. Add accounts using the '+' sign in 'Accounts I can access'.

TLDR;

After a weekly MS Office update, MS Outlook stopped working in Mac 10.10.3 (Yosemite); Often it went to frozen mode, and every time I had to rebuild the using Microsoft Database Utility [Press alt(option) key and click on outlook icon to open DB utility]. This made me force to use the iCal.

Followed standard Exchange integration given by current outlook provider. But adding shared calendar was tricky with iCal 8.0.

To add Shared calendar, go to 'Preferences', then select 'Accounts' tab; then go to 'Delegation'; Add accounts using the '+' sign in 'Accounts I can access'.

The 'Accounts ...' and 'Add Account ..' options in iCal menu is kind of confusing when you try to access shared calendar with existing calendar account.
