ELIGIBILITY
The candidates should have completed Class 12 examination of NEB or equivalent level from a recognized academic institution.
The candidates should have studied at least one course (having at least 100 full marks or 5 credits) each in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
The candidates should have scored a minimum of 45% or a CGPA/GPA of 2.0 (in a scale of 4.0) and at least Grade C (in case of A-level, at least Grade D) or 45% in each subject (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics).
The minimum criterion of Grade C (in case of A level, Grade D) or 45% does not apply to other courses or extra courses, if any. Candidates should have studied mathematics of at least 100 marks in Class 11 or class 12 examination of NEB or equivalent level.
JOB PROSPECTS
Being Civil Engineer graduates of this program will have the good opportunity to take part in the infrastructural development of the nation. Nepal, being a developing country, needs to built the infrastructures like road/highways, airports, hydropower projects, irrigation canals, water supply schemes and residential as well as business complexes.
Through Survey, Planning, Design, Estimate, Construction-Supervision and Maintenance, Civil Engineers have major role to play in such projects. Civil Engineers get worthwhile employment with varied contractors and consultancies and also work for diverse national and multinational organizations.
