Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering | TU

Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering which we prefer to call BE Mechanical in short is a four year, 8 semester program affiliated with Tribhuvan University(TU). The course duration is about 48 months where more than 50 core and elective subjects are taught to the students. The department of Mechanical engineering has been running this program at Pulchowk Campus, lalitpur since 1995. The Mechanical Engineering, one of the most comprehensive engineering programs is associated with design and productions of machineries, equipments and mechanical tools needed for industrial or business purpose.  This program has multi dimensional function ranging from design, development, construction and productions of machinery items to installation, maintenance and operation of those heavy and complicated machines. The mechanical engineers work in the mechanism and function of different equipments such as components of thermal power stations, internal combustion, automobiles, refrigerator, jet engines, etc.

Objectives of Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering

The program's objectives of Bachelor of Mechanical engineering TU are as follows:

  • The graduates will enter and get involved in careers associated with Mechanical Engineering and may pursue other profession which suits their background, interest, and skills.
  • They continue engaging themselves in different learning activities through post graduates education and/or through other professional work in mechanical engineering.
  • They can explore and emerge as leaders in their profession by keeping in mind their moral ethics and responsibility towards society.
  • They will engage in professional service by utilizing their engineering background to help solve the technical and societal problem by realizing the importance of sustainable economic development and environmental safety. 

Admission Requirements in Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering

Students who want to study Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering program offered by Tribhuvan University needs to fulfill minimum criteria as listed below:

  • Successful students securing minimum 45% marks in I.Sc or +2 in Science stream or A Level with full paper of two hundred marks mathematics or diploma in engineering or equivalent courses from any board/university recognized by TU are fit for entrance exam.
  • When the result is published students who have secured good ranking in merit list choose the subjects they want to study and rest of the students who have lower ranking in the merit list need to choose the remaining subjects.
  • The seats for mechanical engineering are very less compared to other fields of engineering because this course is only available in Pulchowk campus in TU. So, students who have got good ranking prefer to read mechanical engineering. In order to choose this engineering, students must work hard and try to bring their ranking within top 400. Otherwise the chances are very slim.

Entrance exam:

Institute of Engineering (IOE) also known as Pulchowk Campus is the authorized institution of TU which is responsible for taking engineering entrance examination. In this, questions are asked in five different fields: English, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Engineering Aptitude. Total marks for this exam is 140 consisting of 100 questions. The time division is of 2 hours where all the objective questions are taken in computerized basis. 10% marks of the given question will be deducted for incorrect answer. The total marks is divided as - Physics: 40, Mathematics: 40, Chemistry: 20, Engineering Aptitude: 18 and English: 22. 

Entrance preparation:

There are various institutions within and outside Kathmandu valley that runs classes from morning to evening for entrance preparation of engineering. This institutions charges fee amounting to Rs. 15,000 - Rs. 18,000. Some of the institutes offering BE entrance preparation classes inside valley are:

  • PEA Association Pvt. Ltd., Thapathali
  • Training Nepal, Putalisadak
  • NAEE Education Centre, Patan Dhoka
  • KEI Foundation, Kupondole
  • Kanchanjanga Education Institute (KEI), Kupondole

Career and Scope

Mechanical field is one of the broadest fields and is one of the most advanced engineering. The scholars studying Mechanical engineering are sure to have a good job and decent salary. This is a very demanding degree in the job market. The expertise of mechanical engineers is valued in the fields of automobiles, aerospace, aviation, power plants etc.  The graduates of BE in Mechanical Engineering are required in the design, manufacture, and construct of those utilities which are in motion.  Thermodynamics, mechanics, robotics, kinematics etc are the field where mechanical engineers can get good job. Not only this, graduates who are willing to pursue higher studies in advance countries have greater chance of getting visas. Moreover, the mechanical engineers can also get jobs in various consultancies and research firm. However, in context of Nepal the job prospects for Mechanical Engineers are very low. To get job as per their qualification is very difficult. There are only few industries that can give jobs. But it has tremendous scope in foreign countries.
