Sixth	Electrical Energy Audit, Project II, Power System Operation and Maintenance, Electrical Repair and Maintenance II, Industrial Attachment, Entrepreneurship Development, Transmission and Distribution of Electrical Power, Elective

The first year establishes mathematics, science, drawing, computing, mechanics, and workshop foundations. Electrical engineering subjects become central from the third semester, beginning with fundamental electrical engineering, electronics, materials, installation, and drawing.

The fourth semester adds circuit analysis, microprocessors, electrical machines, instruments and measurements, power stations, installation work, and computer-aided design.

The fifth and sixth semesters move into power electronics, switchgear and protection, control systems, electrical design and estimation, energy use, power-system operation, transmission and distribution, energy auditing, repair and maintenance, projects, and industrial work.

Practical and project-based study

Practical work is built into subjects across the program. Electrical Installation II, for example, includes practical work with motor control circuits, electrical installations, overhead lines, generators, and related electrical systems.

Project I is included in the fifth semester and Project II in the sixth semester. The final semester also includes Industrial Attachment, giving students direct exposure to electrical engineering activities in an industry or plant setting.

The Industrial Attachment is conducted on a full-time basis for 90 hours. Possible settings include electric substations, motor design and maintenance workshops, transformer manufacturing and maintenance facilities, circuit-breaker facilities, and electric power stations. Students complete supervised activities and prepare a report and presentation at the end of the attachment.

Final-semester elective

Students take one elective in the final semester. The curriculum includes the following options:

Micro Hydro Power
Instrumentation System
Renewable Energy Technology

This elective component allows part of the final semester to concentrate on a specific electrical engineering area.

Skills covered through the course

The combination of theory, practical work, projects, and industrial attachment supports learning in electrical installation, electrical drawing, circuit analysis, electronics, electrical machines, instruments and measurements, power generation, protection systems, control systems, electrical design and estimation, repair and maintenance, energy auditing, and power transmission and distribution.

Students also work with computer programming and computer-aided design as part of the curriculum. The project and attachment components add experience in technical reporting, supervised practical work, and presentation.

Examination and grading

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

For core subjects, the minimum pass marks are 40% in theory and 50% in practical. Students must also secure the required pass marks separately in internal assessment and the final examination for each subject.

The overall grading categories are Distinction at 80% and above, First Division from 65% to below 80%, Second Division from 50% to below 65%, and Pass Division from the applicable pass mark to below 50%. Successful completion requires passing all components of all subjects across all six semesters.

Career pathway

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

The subjects covered can also support technical work associated with electrical installation, machines, maintenance, power systems, electrical design, energy systems, and related industrial activities. Employment outcomes depend on technical competence, experience, recruitment requirements, and available positions.
