INTRODUCTION:
The Institute of Engineering, Pulchowk Campus, is offering this course with the objective of
producing high level technical manpower capable of undertaking works in the Civil
Engineering field. The details of the course are as follows.
To train students in technical and analytical skills required to enable them to function
and practice as professional Civil Engineers on all aspects of Civil Engineering works.
The total duration of the course is 4 years. Each year consists of two parts. A and B,
each part having a duration of 90 working days (about 15 weeks).
4. Entry Requirements:
(a) The candidate must have passed Intermediate of Science (Physical Group)
examination of the Tribhuvan University or 10+2 (Physical Group) or
equivalent course recognized by the Tribhuvan University; and have scored at
least 50% of the total marks in aggregate;
or
and
(b) The candidate must pass the entrance admission tests conducted by the
Institute of Engineering.
5. Selection:
Students fulfilling the minimum eligible requirements will be selected for admission
on the basis of merit.

6.1 Contents:
The teaching of the course is divided into 8 parts (half yearly). The first two
parts are of prerequisite nature.
Each subject is coded with a unique member preceded and followed by certain
letters. The code for all subjects offered in engineering disciplines begin with
two letters 'EG', followed by three digit numbers denoting the subject offered
in the particular half yearly part. The first digit denotes the year i.e. 4,5,6 and 7
for first, second, third and fourth year respectively of Bachelor's level course.
The second digit from 0 to 4 is used for the first part of the year and 5 to 9 for
the second part of the year. The third digit is used to identify the subject. The
last letters denote the department which offers the subject (e.g. SH - Science
and Humanities, CE - Civil Engineering, EE - Electrical Engineering, EX -
Electronics Engineering, ME - Mechanical Engineering and AR -
Architecture).
Example: EG623CE is the code for subject "Soil Mechanics" which is offered
in the third year part A by the Civil Engineering Department.
The students' achievement in each subject is evaluate by internal assessment during the course
followed by a final examination at the end of each half yearly part. A weightage of 20% for
the internal assessment and that of 80% for the half yearly examination are allocated for the
theoretical component of a subject. The half yearly examination of all theory component are
conducted through written tests. In case of practical components, the method of continuous
assessment is adopted; in some cases, half yearly examinations are also conducted.
The students must obtain 40% in the internal assessment and 40% in the half yearly
examination of each subject to pass in the subject. Student who have not obtained the
prescribed pass marks in the internal assessment of a subject will not be allowed to sit in the
half yearly examination of continue his/her studies in the third year. Similarly, a student must
pass all the papers of the second year to continue his/her studies in the fourth year.
Students who have passed all the components of all subjects in all of the ten parts are
considered to have successfully completed the course. The overall achievement of each
student is measured by a final aggregate percentage which is obtained by providing a
-6-
weightage to each of half yearly aggregate percentages scored by the student as prescribed
below.
Depending upon the final aggregate percentage scored, a division is award as follows:
