Pre-Diploma in Electrical Engineering
This program trains students in electrical systems, maintenance, and wiring for both residential and commercial settings. Students learn through theory, lab practice, and field tasks.
-
Total Seats: 40
-
Eligibility: SEE passed + entrance exam
-
Scholarships: 4 seats (via CTEVT quota)
The course leads to job roles such as Electrical Sub-Overseers, especially in local utilities, small industries, or construction.
Previous Courses
In earlier academic years, WNCEM also offered short-term and pre-diploma programs such as:
-
Veterinary JTA (Junior Technical Assistant)
-
TSLC in Civil Engineering
-
Certificate in Ayurved General Science
These courses supported local health, agriculture, and basic engineering needs, further widening the institution’s reach in applied learning.
Learning Environment and Teaching Approach
At WNCEM, teaching focuses on practical skills rather than just classroom theory. Students regularly participate in:
-
Lab-based sessions with tools and equipment
-
Project-based tasks and model-building
-
Field visits and basic site work
-
Clear step-by-step instructions from experienced teachers
This approach helps students understand how to apply what they learn and prepares them for entry-level roles after graduation.
Scholarships and Student Access
To improve access for students from underprivileged backgrounds, WNCEM provides scholarship opportunities in both programs. Four seats in each intake are reserved for full scholarships through the CTEVT entrance process. These scholarships aim to support students who may not otherwise be able to afford technical education.
Facilities
WNCEM offers a modest but focused set of facilities that meet the core needs of technical learning:
-
Civil and electrical labs with essential tools
-
Classrooms with whiteboards and model samples
-
Course materials aligned with the CTEVT curriculum
-
A small reference library for engineering and science subjects
-
Access to supportive faculty for academic guidance
Conclusion
Western Nepal College of Engineering and Management is a practical choice for SEE graduates interested in skill-based education. By focusing on affordability, hands-on learning, and technical accuracy, the college helps young learners take their first steps toward careers in construction and electricity services.
