Overview

Tribhuvan University offers a Bachelor of Electronics, Communication, and Information Engineering program of four years. This program will give knowledge of designing complex electronics, communication, and information systems. The program is for those students who are aspiring to the hardware industry, communication industry, and computer engineering industry. This field is the heart of the new industrial revolution, from mobile communication, high-quality audio, digital cameras, multimedia, and the internet.

Objectives of Bachelor of Electronics Communication and Information Engineering

The Bachelor of Electronics Communication and Information Engineering program has been developed with the following objectives:

  • To help students get good jobs in industry, academic fields, or the government sector.
  • Help graduates to be successful engineers who can develop innovative ideas for the design and construction of the electronic systems and applications required for modern business.
  • Work as a team and demonstrate inspiring leadership capabilities to the mutual benefit of themselves, their workplace, and their community.
  • Motivate students to pursue higher education and encourage them to get in the field that creates professional development for continuously being up-to-date and increasing knowledge base.
  • Performing engineering practices by abiding by the ethics and making positive impacts on society.

Admission Requirements in Bachelor of Electronics Communication and Information Engineering

Students who are willing to pursue a Bachelor of Electronics Communication and Information Engineering must meet the following criteria:

  • The interested candidates must have obtained a minimum of 45% marks in Intermediate of Science (ISc) or must have completed plus two in the science stream or A-Level with a full paper of two hundred marks in mathematics or a diploma in engineering or any equivalent courses from any board or university recognized by Tribhuvan University are suitable for entrance.
  • After the entrance exam, when the result is published, students get admission as per the merit list. The merit list is totally based on the entrance exam marks, where marks of plus two are not added. Even the interview does not take place.

Entrance Exam:

Pulchowk Campus, the authorized institution of Tribhuvan University, is responsible for the entrance examination. Questions are asked in five different fields comprising English, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering aptitude. The total mark for this entrance is 140, and 100 questions must be attempted with a time division of 2 hours, where all the questions are objective-based.

Students have to sit near the computer provided to them and appear in the exam by following imposed rules and regulations. 10% of the marks for the given question will be deducted for wrong answers. A total of 140 marks are allotted in the different subjects on the following basis: English: 22 marks, Physics: 40 marks, Chemistry: 20 marks, Mathematics: 40 marks, and Engineering Aptitude: 18 marks. 

Bridge Course:

To compete with more than 10,000 equally deserving candidates is a very challenging and tough task indeed, and it’s definitely herculean work to do. After appearing for the board exams of grade 12, students will have about three to four months left for preparation for the entrance exam. In this very short period of time, students have to prepare everything for the entrance exam. Students will be in a great dilemma, and some students will even fall into excessive stress on how to prepare and what to prepare, as the course is very vast and too complicated.

So, to anticipate this kind of problem, there are certain institutes that are trying their best to help students prepare for their entrance exams. This entrance-preparing institute charges Rs. 15,000 to Rs. 18,000 per student for a three- to four-month course where students are given various books and materials helpful for entrance preparation. Teachers also provide various shortcut ideas and techniques, which help to boost the confidence of students. Institutes like PEA, NAEE, and KEI are providing BECE preparation courses in Kathmandu Valley.

Career and Scope

One of the major driving forces for the information technology revolution is the advancement in electronics and communication. This field has a very inspiring scope today as well as in the future, without any doubt. One can sit at home and can send audio and video to his loved ones; this is because of broadband technologies. Our lives are heavily influenced by electronic devices, and those students who are pursuing electronics and communication will surely have a bright future ahead. In this communication-hungry world, where billions of rupees are spent on the refinement of electronics and communication devices, the engineers working in this field can earn a very hefty sum of money.

  Some of the specific job areas where electronics and communication engineers can work are

  • The graduates can work in government organizations as well as in private companies for the installation, operation, and maintenance of electronic equipment and systems.
  • Defense, space, and organizations involved in research hire electronics engineers who are competent in the design and development of complex devices, signal processing systems, and telecommunications.
  • Hospitals, banks, and the healthcare industry are where heavy electronic devices are used, and those devices are installed and maintained by electronic engineers.
  • Various telecommunication and networking industries, wireless industries, communication industries, etc., are the hubs of electronic and communication engineers.
  • Design and fabrication of devices, integration of circuits, embedding of systems, and handling electronic equipment are the work that is done by those graduates.
