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.
Who can study engineering?
In Nepal, a student who has passed +2

What courses are
available?
The Bachelor in
engineering has multiple disciplines. One needs to identify own career interest
and choose the disciplines. There are various specializations like civil,
architecture, mecharlical, electrical, electronics and telecommunications,
computer science industrial, Geometrics, material, structural. Environmental,
Transportation, water resources and geotechnical and surveying. A few colleges
have proposed to launch aeronautical engineering biomedical engineering and mechanical
engineering architecture.
Where to study?
There are four
universities in Nepal offering engineering programmes-Tribhuvan University.Kathmandu
University, Phokhara University and Purbhanchal University. They offer their
programmers through various colleges across the country.
