Applicants must also pass the entrance examination administered by CTEVT.

Seats: 48

Duration: Three academic years

Academic System: Six semesters

Each semester consists of 19.5 academic weeks including the evaluation period, with at least 15 weeks of teaching and learning. The medium of instruction is English and/or Nepali. Students need at least 90% attendance in each subject to appear in its final examination.

Curriculum structure

The first year establishes foundations in Applied Nepali, Applied English, Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Physics, Engineering Chemistry, Engineering Drawing, Computer Application, Workshop Practice, and Applied Mechanics.

From the third semester onward, the curriculum concentrates more directly on civil engineering.

Semester	Main academic areas
Third	Engineering Mathematics III, Surveying I, Workshop Practice II, Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics, Building Construction, Engineering Materials
Fourth	Social Engineering, Construction Drawing and CAD, Surveying II, Estimating and Costing I, Mechanics of Structure, Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Water Supply Engineering
Fifth	Surveying III, Estimating and Costing II, RC Structures, Transportation Engineering I, Sanitary Engineering, Construction Management, Steel and Timber Structures
Sixth	Field Survey Camp, Transportation Engineering II, Estimating and Costing III, Water Resources and Irrigation Engineering, Entrepreneurship Development, Project Work, Elective

The sixth-semester elective is selected from Trail Bridge, Hill Road, Hill Irrigation Engineering, Gravity Flow Water Supply System, and Micro Hydro Power Engineering.

Practical and field-based learning

Practical work is integrated into subjects such as engineering drawing, computer application, workshop practice, surveying, construction drawing and CAD, structural subjects, and water-related engineering.

The sixth semester includes a Field Survey Camp conducted for eight days at 10 hours per day, giving a total of 80 hours. Project Work is also included as a separate final-semester component.

These activities give students structured opportunities to apply surveying, measurement, drawing, estimation, construction, and project-related concepts alongside classroom study.

Examination and completion

The evaluation system includes internal assessment and final examinations. Students must complete the required internal assessment before appearing in the final examination.

The minimum pass mark is 40% in theory and 50% in practical. Students must pass the internal and semester-final components of each subject. All subjects across the six semesters must be completed successfully to receive the Diploma in Civil Engineering.

Career pathway

Graduates are eligible for positions equivalent to Non-gazette 1st class/Level 5 (technical), as prescribed by the Public Service Commission of Nepal and other related agencies.

The curriculum prepares civil engineering technicians for technical and supervisory activities connected with roads, irrigation, water supply, buildings, urban development, surveying, estimating, construction, and related infrastructure work. Career outcomes depend on individual skills, experience, recruitment requirements, and available positions.
