Thapathali Campus (Nepali: थापाथली क्याम्पस)[1] also known as Thapathali Engineering Campus is the first and one of the five constituent engineering campuses under Institute of Engineering of Tribhuvan University (TU).[2][3] Located at the center of Kathmandu city, the campus was established in 2023 B.S. to develop middle level manpower in the field in different fields engineering which upgraded its programs to bachelor and master level along the course of time.
Being roughly about 1.25 km from the central campus Pulchowk Campus, it remains the second most demanded engineering campus in Nepal after Pulchowk Campus. It is a governmental college and funded by the Government of Nepal. Students who have passed an entrance exam conducted by IOE are allowed to apply for admission. Students are admitted by priority selection according to their score in IOE entrance exam. As of the year 2078, the campus took only 432 students from about 15,000 candidates which roughly estimates the acceptance rate to be 2.88%. Similarly, total Intake in Master Level is 60 students per year.[4]
Location
[edit]
Thapathali Campus is in Thapathali, just beside the army headquarter at the heart of Kathmandu city.
In the presence of Late King Mahendra, Late Dr. Heinrich lubk, President of Federal Republic of Germany inaugurated Technical Institute (TTI) on 29th of Falgun 2023 B.S. The Technical Training Institute(TTI) offered mid-level manpower course in mechanical engineering, automobile engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical drafting beginning. With the assistance from the Government of Federal republic of Germany, Technical Training Institute Project (TTIP) was established in Nepal in 2019 B.S., with the sole objective of producing trained trade persons and technicians needed for the development of the country. TTI started three years vocational training in mechanical, automobile and electrical trades for S.L.C. graduates from 2022 B.S. to 2024 B.S. At the meantime, the three years course in mechanical drafting was transferred to Pulchowk, IOE.
From 2029 B.S. this Technical Training Institute (TTI) was renamed as Thapathali Campus under Tribhuvan University (T.U.) and is known as Institute of Engineering, Thapathali Campus thereafter. Campus started diploma in mechanical engineering and diploma in automobile engineering since 2043 B.S. Later, diploma in electronics engineering and diploma computer engineering started from 2058 B.S.
According to the policy of Institute of Engineering (IOE), campus introduce Bachelor in Industrial engineering in 2062 B.S., Bachelor in Civil engineering in 2066 B.S., Bachelor in Electronics and Communication engineering in 2067 B.S., Bachelor in Mechanical engineering in 2068 B.S., by stopping new intakes in all the diploma courses from 2070 B. S. Recently, campus has started intake in Bachelor in Architecture and Master in Earthquake engineering since 2071 B.S., Bachelor in Automobile engineering since 2072 B.S. and Master in Mechanical design & Manufacturing since 2073 B.S.
Future plans
[edit]The existing infrastructures, human resources moreover fulfill the requirement of diploma level courses. There is an utmost need of renovation restructuring the existing infrastructures and human resources to stabilize the bachelor programs and also to address the growing demands. To sustain the restructuring and complete it, and to aggressively move forward to achieve higher levels of excellence with the intent of becoming one of the engineering campus in the nation, a comprehensive restructuring document is necessary. Creating a plan involves listening to many ideas from stake holders, assembling the ideas into a framework that support the mission and vision of the campus.
