Engineering is the design and construction of machinery, structures, and other things like bridges, tunnels, roads, cars, and buildings using scientific principles. The field of engineering includes a wide variety of more specialized fields, each of which places a greater emphasis on specific domains of applied mathematics, applied science, and application kinds.

You might think about a career in engineering if you enjoy finding solutions to technological issues and are strong in math and physics. Because of the many chances for continual development, engineers are in high demand. Problem-solving can be studied in the field of STEM education, which stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. There are several fields of study of engineering, including electrical engineering, computer engineering, biomedical engineering, environmental engineering, and architectural engineering.

Engineering has a very interesting development in Nepal and is a very committed field. Though it might appear that there aren't many job chances in Nepal, the country's rapid industrialization and development initiatives have opened up a wide range of engineering career options. There are numerous engineering specializations available in Nepal, and the field's use is expanding.

Being a developing nation, Nepal provides good prospects for development, and as more colleges and institutions are established, the scope of engineering is expanding in Nepal along with the rapid expansion of developmental activities.

One of the most sought-after degrees in Nepal is engineering. Numerous individuals who have passed the +2 Level or an equivalent exam enroll in engineering colleges each year. There are various constituent campuses and affiliated colleges under Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu University, Purbanchal University, Pokhara University, Mid-Western University, Far-Western University and Manmohan Technical University; these are located in various districts and offer various engineering programs at the Bachelor's and Master's degrees in a variety of disciplines.

ELIGIBILITY:
The students who have a minimum score of 45% or 'C' grade in each subject of 10+2 (physical group or biological group with two paper mathematics) or 45% in Diploma in Engineering or an equivalent course are eligible for the entrance examination.

There are various courses offered by the Engineering Colleges. Some of them are Bachelor in Civil Engineering, Bachelor in Electrical Engineering, Bachelor in Electronics, Communication and Information Engineering, Bachelor in Mechanical Engineering, Bachelor in Computer Engineering, Bachelor in Agriculture Engineering, Bachelor in Industrial Engineering, Bachelor in Geomatics Engineering, Bachelor in Automobile Engineering, Bachelor in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Bachelor in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Bachelor of Hydropower Engineering, Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology (BE.IT), Bachelor in Aerospace Engineering, Bachelor of Civil and Rural Engineering, Bachelor of Software Engineering, BE in Geomatics and Land Resources Management, Bachelor in Biomedical Engineering and BE in Chemical Engineering.
