Institute of Engineering

Introduction of IOE

Institute of Engineering, one of the top and oldest technical Institute of Nepal, was founded in 1930. It is located in Pulchowk Lalitpur. After the introduction of New Education System Plan in 1972 in the country, Institute of Engineering (IOE) was formed under Tribhuvan University and both the Nepal Engineering Institute and Technical Training Institute were brought under Institute of Engineering.

Institute of engineering began bachelor courses in engineering from 1978, master courses from 1996, doctoral program from 2003 and Post-doctoral program from 2018. By now, Bachelor's, Master's, doctoral programs are run in Pulchowk Campus, Pulchowk. From the year 2018, Bachelor's programme in Aerospace Engineering is started at Pulchowk Campus. Master's and Bachelor’s courses are run in the Thapathali Campus, Purwanchal Campus, Paschimanchal Campus and Bachelor’s course in Architecture is run in the Chitwan Engineering campus. IOE is now delivering its services from five constituent campuses and ten affiliated colleges.
