The Institute of Engineering (IOE) (Nepali: ईन्जिनियरिङ अध्ययन संस्थान), established in 1930, is one of the five technical institutes under Tribhuvan University, Nepal's largest academic institution.[1] The current dean of the IOE is Shashidhar Ram Joshi.[2]

IOE runs undergraduate, postgraduate and Ph.D. programs. It previously ran Diploma courses till 2012. The institute has five constituent and ten affiliated campuses in the country. Its constituent campus are namely Pulchowk Campus, Thapathali Campus, Paschimanchal Campus, Purbanchal Campus and Chitwan Engineering Campus.[3][4]

History

[edit]

Formation

[edit]

The history of engineering education in Nepal can be traced to 1930, when a Technical Training School was established in Kumari Chowk, Kathmndu. The engineering section of the school offered only trades and civil sub-overseers programs. In 1959, the Nepal Engineering Institute was established with the assistance of the government of India which started offering civil overseer courses leading to a Diploma in Civil Engineering. The Technical Training Institute established in 1965 at Thapathali, with the assistance from the Government of Federal Republic of Germany which offered technician courses in general courses in General Mechanics, Auto Mechanics, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Drafting.[5]

In 1972, the Nepal Engineering Institute at Pulchowk and the Technical Training Institute at Thapathali were brought together under the umbrella of Tribhuvan University to constitute the Institute of Engineering. The Nepal Engineering Institute and the Technical Training Institute were later renamed as Pulchowk campus and Thapathali Campus respectively.[1]

Establishment of constituent campuses

[edit]

Later, Pashchimanchal Campus in Pokhara of IOE became operational from 1987 while Purwanchal Campus in Dharan which began operating from 1984.[6] Recently, Chitwan Engineering Campus was established in Rampur, Chitwan in 2019, where only Architecture is offered. [7][8]

Admission

[edit]

Entrance examinations

[edit]

Entrance examinations are conducted by Institute of Engineering yearly for undergraduate and postgraduate intake. The entrance exam for the undergraduate intake is said to be tough where more than 15,000 students from all over Nepal vie for to secure seats. Getting into Pulchowk Engineering College is the toughest followed by Thapathali Campus, as the higher ranked students are more likely to choose them While Pulchowk Campus takes just 624 students from approx. 10,000 candidates, Thapathali Campus takes almost 432 students which roughly estimates the acceptance rate to be 10% jointly. But to get computer and civil engineering is the toughest especially onto Pulchowk Campus as the seats are fullfilled under 31 and 230 rank respectively for full scholarship. While on the paying basis they are fullfilled under 210 and 400 rank respectively. The lower ranked students in the pool are likely to choose other branches or other affiliated colleges. Getting into constituent campuses of IOE is by far the toughest engineering entrance in the country.[12]
