Applicants must have completed 10+2 or an equivalent qualification. Detailed eligibility, entrance, admission, and selection requirements are governed by Kathmandu University rules and regulations for the program.
This university-based arrangement also applies to academic registration, examinations, progression, completion requirements, and degree award.
Radiant College presents the B Tech Ed IT and BIT option as a dual-degree pathway. The four-year B Tech Ed IT component consists of 136 credits.
The college’s program information indicates that after completing B Tech Ed IT, students may undertake an additional 20 credits of IT-based advanced courses toward the additional BIT degree. Academic completion and degree-award requirements remain subject to Kathmandu University regulations.
Practical work is spread across the program instead of being limited to the final semester.
Students encounter IT projects during the earlier and middle stages of the degree, followed by research and two distinct internship components. One internship is centered on teaching and training, while the other is work-based learning.
The curriculum also places practical credits within IT, mathematics, education, and vocational courses. This structure allows programming, systems, instructional design, assessment, project development, and other applied activities to sit alongside classroom theory.
Radiant College supports this work through computer laboratories, classrooms with audio-visual equipment, collaborative spaces for group and project activity, and a seminar hall.
Course outlines within the curriculum use in-semester and end-semester assessment. Several courses divide assessment into 50 marks for in-semester work and 50 marks for the end-semester examination.
In-semester assessment can include assignments, written examinations, presentations, case studies, reports, projects, practical work, and attendance depending on the course. End-semester examination structures include objective, short-answer, and long-answer questions in the relevant course outlines.
Overall examination administration, academic progression, and degree award follow Kathmandu University rules and regulations.
The curriculum supports learning across both technical and educational areas. Students work with programming, databases, web technologies, networking, software engineering, operating systems, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, cloud computing, data-related subjects, and systems administration.
