It offers courses in Masters of Science Earthquake engineering as well as Masters of Science in Mechanical Design and Manufacturing.

It is a governmental college and funded by the Government of Nepal. Students who have passed an entrance exam conducted by IOE are allowed to apply for admission. Students are admitted by priority selection according to their score in IOE entrance exam. Total intake in Bachelor level is 384 students per year and Total Intake in Master Level is 40 Students per year.(The Masters Level Programme Run in Evening Shift)[5]

Location

Thapathali Campus is in Thapathali, at the heart of Kathmandu city.

History[6]

In the presence of Late King Mahendra, Late Dr. Heinrich lubk, President of Federal Republic of Germany inaugurated Technical Institute (TTI) on 29th of Falgun 2023 B.S. The Technical Training Institute(TTI) offered mid-level manpower course in mechanical engineering, automobile engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical drafting beginning. With the assistance from the Government of Federal republic of Germany, Technical Training Institute Project (TTIP) was established in Nepal in 2019 B.S., with the sole objective of producing trained trade persons and technicians needed for the development of the country. TTI started three years vocational training in mechanical, automobile and electrical trades for S.L.C. graduates from 2022 B.S. to 2024 B.S. At the meantime, the three years course in mechanical drafting was transferred to Pulchowk, IOE.

From 2029 B.S. this Technical Training Institute (TTI) was renamed as Thapathali Campus under Tribhuvan University (T.U.) and known as Institute of Engineering, Thapathali Campus thereafter. Campus started diploma in mechanical engineering and diploma in automobile engineering 2043 B.S. and later on, diploma in electronics engineering and diploma computer engineering started from 2058 B.S.

According to the policy of Institute of Engineering (IOE), campus introduce bachelor in Industrial engineering in 2062 B.S., bachelor in Civil engineering in 2066 B.S., bachelor in electronics and communication engineering in 2067 B.S., bachelor in mechanical engineering in 2068 B.S., by stopping new intakes in any diploma courses from 2070 B. S. Again, Campus has intake bachelor in architecture and master in earthquake engineering in 2071 B.S., bachelor in automobile engineering in 2072 B.S. and master in mechanical design & manufacturing in 2073 B.S. also.

The existing infrastructures, human resources moreover fulfill the requirement of diploma level courses. There is an utmost need of renovation restructuring the existing infrastructures and human resources to stabilize the bachelor programs and also to address the growing demands. To sustain the restructuring and complete it, and to aggressively move forward to achieve higher levels of excellence with the intent of becoming one of the engineering campus in the nation, a comprehensive restructuring document is necessary. Creating a plan involves listening to many ideas from stake holders, assembling the ideas into a framework that support the mission and vision of the campus.

The Future Plan

This Campus is constructed on 32 ropanis of land, which is not sufficient for an Engineering Campus. We were seeking for land for additional Programs. Now, Nepal Government, Ministry of Physical Infrastructure & Transportation has planned to construct fly over bridge from Maitighar   to Tripureswor above Thapathali campus. So we have to shift to another place.

In this Regard, Campus has demanded land with Tribhuvan University near Ring Road, Balkhu. It has submitted proposal demanding 250 ropani land. It is under process. After the decision of TU, we have plan to develop & construct the infrastructure in Balkhu, TU

Student society [16]

Robotics and Automation Center (RAC), Thapathali[17]

Robotics and Automation Center (RAC) at Thapathali Campus was established in 2062 BS with

the initiation of a few students of diploma level with the support of campus. RAC was primely

established to provide a platform for students to practice and learn practical skills related to

robotics. Robotics is a common area for multidisciplinary students carrying the common goal of

practicing robotics. RAC now includes students from electronics, mechanical, automobile,

industrial, and architecture backgrounds with a common goal of pursuing robotics.

Civil Engineering Student Society (CESS), Thapathali

Civil Engineering Student Society (CESS), Thapathali, is a community of civil engineering students founded with a motto-"Engineering for Purpose". Established in 2071 B.S. at Thapathali Campus, CESS has been able to perform various remarkable activities. We are completely a non-profit organization. We neither discuss any political ideas nor promote any political views. We help all the civil engineering students become a better future engineers by encouraging them to understand and implement what they learn.
