Engineering has tradition ally been one of the most sought-after programmers across the globe.
It may not be the easiest area of study, but it contain-use to be in demand, as the graduates are more likely to have a rewarding and lucre-tive career. An engineering degree also opens the door for rhe students to pursue carious other technical subjects.
Engineering means designing or developing structures, machines or developing apparatus for performing a work or applauding it to conduct a task. It is practical application of the knowledge of pure sciences like physics and chemistry to solve a problem.
Engineering in Nepal was formally introduced  in 1972 with the establishment of the Institute of Engineering under Tribhuvan University. The private sector undertook it in 1994 with the establishment of the Nepal Engineering College.
As Nepal is striding towards the path of development, with mega infrastructure projects in the areas of hydropower, roads and information technology already being undertaken and several others in the pipeline, the demand for engineers has been increasing by the day.
For an insurance, Laxmi Khatiwada an alumnus of the PUSET ( Purbanchal University School of Engineering and technology), is the Chief Financial officer of Simplify 360 that works for fortune 100 companies of the USA and other parts of world. While, many others have found their place at reputed organizations like facebook,Google and Wipro, among others.         
In Nepal, there are 39 colleges that offer engineering courses. Around 30 of them are based in the Kathmandu valley. The colleges have an annual intake of around 6000 students. A total of 2249 seats are available for Civil Engineering, 333 for Architecture, 1431 for Electronics, and 284 for electrical engineering. Similarly, computer engineering gas 1364 deats, while information. Technology has 144 and environmental engineering 48 seats.
The Association of Engineering Colleges Nepal is planning to increase the number of seats to accommodate the ever increasing number of aspirants.
