Institute of Engineering

Institute of Engineering (IOE) is one of the five technical institutes under Tribhuvan University (TU). Looking back to the history, IOE was founded in 1930 (1987/11/19BS) as Nepal’s first technical school and reformed to present shape in 1972 as an organ of Tribhuvan University. It is producing outstanding engineering technicians and engineers for more than 82 years. The tradition of excellence in the IOE is further intensifying in the course of time. IOE is also becoming more and more responsive to the ever-changing needs of the students and the engineering profession. The Institute is experiencing a period of significant growth. The voyage of IOE departing from producing

low- and middle level technician is continuing to running Bachelor, Master and Ph.D. programmes by now. The alumni are spreading across all continents engaged in the engineering profession of wider disciplines. IOE is running its programmes through its four constituent and ten affiliated campuses in the country.

Beyond purely academic pursuits, Institute offers a wide range of social, cultural and recreation activities with the hope that students take a little time from their studies to enjoy some of these benefits as well.

The vision of the Institute of Engineering is to be a premier engineering education institution at par with world class role models.

IOE visioned to be world class institution. The key factors for this are the availability of resources, governance and concentration of talents. This will, in turn, produce capable and competitive graduates in one side and in the other side institute will have considerable research outputs. These research outputs may be patents rights attracting international, regional and national prizes and honors. The synergy of these factors also triggers the process of technology transfer in the institution.
