-
Understand learning and development concepts relevant to classroom practice

Scope
BICTE supports two clear directions.
The first direction is school-level ICT teaching and academic support roles. Students who want to work in secondary schools, plus-two institutions, or training centers often value this blend of education and ICT.
The second direction is ICT support and content roles in education-focused organizations. This can include e-learning support, school digital transformation support, and curriculum-related tech assistance, depending on your personal skills and local job demand.
Learning Outcomes
After completing the program, you should be able to:
-
Use foundational programming and database concepts
-
Understand networks, security basics, and system administration at an applied level
-
Connect learning psychology and curriculum principles with ICT-based lesson delivery
-
Plan and deliver ICT teaching practicum tasks with confidence
The final-year practicum and capstone components serve as a structured bridge from theory to classroom work.
Skill Development Modules
Jana Bhawana Campus has a Professional Skill Development Unit that offers non-credit courses to strengthen skills that may not be fully covered in the university syllabus. The listed modules include a 70-hour course on building web applications using ASP.NET and React, and a professional course that combines accounting, taxation, business communication, and general ICT. This unit evaluates skills and provides certifications. These options can be valuable if you want extra practice beyond regular semester classes.
Teaching Methodology
The campus notes a commitment to both theoretical and practical education. In BICTE, this approach typically shows up through lab work, programming exercises, micro-teaching preparation, and class-based projects tied to education technology.
The Research Management Cell also encourages student research activities such as paper writing and field-linked studies. This support can help you build a stronger academic profile for future teaching or higher education routes.
Admission Requirements
The campus reference confirms BICTE as a TU-affiliated program but does not list detailed admission steps for BICTE specifically. In practice, you should expect standard TU eligibility rules for bachelor-level entry and campus-level document submission requirements.
The campus also runs an Enrollment Eligibility Test (EET) for students seeking admission and scholarships in its offered courses. The EET assesses verbal ability, quantitative ability, general awareness, and writing ability. You may need to sit for this test if the campus applies it to BICTE intake cycles.
Career Opportunities
BICTE can open pathways such as:
-
ICT teacher at secondary and higher secondary levels
-
Computer instructor in training centers
-
Education technology support staff in schools
-
Content and learning support roles in educational projects
-
Entry-level roles that value programming, web basics, databases, and networking, especially if you add extra portfolio work
The campus Employment Support Cell focuses on internships, job-readiness support, resume help, and links with alumni and employers. This structure can ease your shift from campus life into work.
Scholarships and Financial Aid
The file lists scholarship schemes for several programs and mentions named scholarships for meritorious and economically deprived students. The scholarship committee evaluates students under merit and merit-cum-means categories. You should confirm current BICTE-specific availability directly with the campus, but the institutional framework for financial support is clearly present.
The campus also links EET performance with scholarship decisions. This suggests that your preparation for aptitude and writing can directly influence financial support outcomes.
Why Choose BICTE?
BICTE suits you if you want an education degree that keeps you close to technology rather than separating the two.
Students often struggle to choose between pure IT and pure education. BICTE offers a middle path where your classroom identity and technical skills grow together. This matters in Nepal’s evolving school environment, where ICT labs, digital content, and online assessment practices increasingly require teachers who feel comfortable with both teaching theory and real tools.
Jana Bhawana Campus adds support units such as research, counseling, skill-development, and career services that can strengthen your progress if you use them actively.
Conclusion
BICTE at Jana Bhawana Campus offers a TU-recognized pathway that connects ICT knowledge with real classroom practice. The campus history, QAA status, community governance, and student-support cells create a stable academic setting for students who want credible, career-linked education in a local and accessible environment.
