Objectives of BE in Computer Engineering

After graduating in BE Computer of Tribhuvan University, the graduates will have:

Ability to apply the knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering, analyze and interpret data, design and conduct experiments, and work with the multi-disciplinary teams.
Ability to design a system, component or process to fulfill the required needs by valuing the economic, social, environmental, ethical, and health constraints.
BE Computer graduates understand the need and have the ability to engage in the lifelong learning and professional development. They do this by recognizing the ethical and professional responsibilities.
Ability to understand, identify, formulate and solve problems by using modern tools, techniques and skills required for engineering practices.

Admission Requirements in BE in Computer Engineering

The minimum criteria for students who want to study Computer Engineering in Tribhuvan University are as follows:

He/ She should have secured minimum 45% marks in Intermediate level.
He/ She should have I. SC or 10+2 in Science stream (Physics group or Biology Group with full paper of two hundred marks mathematics) or A- Level or Diploma in engineering or equivalent courses from board/ university/ institution recognized by Tribhuvan University.
Must have compulsorily fulfilled the entire application form requirement for entrance exam. Every year IOE publishes notice regarding the form fill up and eligibility criteria.
This above requirement is focused on the Nepali students. For foreigners there are other procedures which can be learned from the official website of IOE.

Entrance exam:

In the entrance exam, the questions are asked in five different sections. 40 marks are asked from Physics and Mathematics. Chemistry, English and Engineering Aptitude consists of 20, 22 and 18 marks respectively. The total question is 100 in numbers and the total mark is 140 and time allocated for this is 2 hours in full computerized system. Students will have to click on the correct option out of 4 options provided (Multiple Choice Question). Each wrong answer results in deduction of 10% marks in each question. The result is published as per the merit list. The merit list is prepared according to the marks obtained in entrance exam.

Fee structure:

Unlike Mechanical Engineering, this degree is available in (TU) Tribhuvan University constituent colleges as well. The fee structure varies from each and every academies. We can assume that the cost of studying Computer Engineering lies between NRs. 7 to 9 lakhs. The cost of pursuing the program in public colleges like Thapathali, Eastern Regional College is lower as compared to that of the private colleges.

Entrance Preparation Centers:

Some of the fine entrance exam preparation institutes in Kathmandu valley are as follows:

PEA Association Pvt. Ltd., Thapathali, Kathmandu
NAEE Education Centre, Patan Dhoka, Lalitpur
KEI Foundation, Kupondole, Lalitpur
Kanchanjanga Education Institute (KEI), Kupondole, Lalitpur

Students should learn about the materials and books, course duration, cost, teaching faculty, weekly exams and then only get admitted. It is the hard work of students that matters more than anything else.
