Bachelors of Engineering in Inforamtion Technology (BEIT)

Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology (BEIT) at Pokhara Engineering College

Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology (BEIT) at Pokhara Engineering College is a four-year undergraduate engineering program affiliated with Pokhara University. The program has 48 seats at the college and a curriculum carrying 137 total credits.

BEIT combines information technology with engineering foundations. Students begin with mathematics, science, programming, electrical engineering, mechanics, and electronics before moving into databases, operating systems, computer architecture, networks, embedded systems, artificial intelligence, information systems, software engineering, and ICT project management. The curriculum also includes three project stages, allowing students to connect technical study with structured project work.

Course overview

What is BEIT?

Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology is an undergraduate engineering program focused on information technology while retaining a substantial engineering and computing foundation.

The curriculum starts with Engineering Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Basic Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Workshop, Engineering Drawing, and Applied Mechanics. Programming begins with Programming in C and Object Oriented Programming in C++, followed by Data Structure and Algorithm, Database Management System, Programming Technology, Operating Systems, and Object Oriented Software Engineering.

Later study extends into Computer Architecture, Computer Graphics, Embedded Systems, Data Communication, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Networks, Information Systems, and ICT Project Management.

This structure gives BEIT an academic mix of software, computing systems, electronics, networking, information systems, and engineering subjects rather than limiting the degree to software programming alone.

Eligibility for BEIT

Applicants for engineering programs under Pokhara University must have completed Grade 12 in the Science stream or an equivalent qualification from a recognized institution.

The academic requirements include:

• at least one course carrying a minimum of 100 full marks or 5 credits in each of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics;

• a minimum C grade or 45 percent in each of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in Grade 12;

• an overall GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale or equivalent; and

• Mathematics carrying at least 100 marks in Grade 11 or Grade 12.

Admission process

Undergraduate applicants submit their applications through the Pokhara University system or the concerned affiliated college. The application process includes academic and personal information together with required documents such as academic transcripts, a citizenship certificate, and a passport-sized photograph.

Applicants sit for an entrance examination conducted by Pokhara University or its affiliated colleges. Admission is based on merit and seat availability, followed by the required enrollment formalities.

BEIT curriculum

The BEIT curriculum progresses from mathematics, science, engineering, and programming foundations to specialized study in computing, information technology, networks, embedded systems, artificial intelligence, and information systems. The complete program carries 137 credits.

Major areas of study

Programming and software

Programming is introduced from the first semester through Programming in C and continues with Object Oriented Programming in C++, Data Structure and Algorithm, Programming Technology, and Object Oriented Software Engineering.

Database Management System, Operating Systems, and Theory of Computation broaden the software and computing component of the degree.

Computer systems and electronics

BEIT also includes Basic Electrical Engineering, Electronic Devices and Circuits, Logic Circuits, Instrumentation, Microprocessors, Computer Architecture, and Embedded Systems.

These subjects give students exposure to the physical and system-level components that support computing and information technology.

Networks and communication

Network Theory appears in Semester III, followed by Data Communication in Semester VI and Computer Networks in Semester VII.

This sequence connects electrical and communication fundamentals with computer networking and information exchange.

Artificial intelligence and information systems

The later part of the program includes Image Processing and Pattern Recognition, Artificial Intelligence, ICT Project Management, and Information Systems.

Students therefore encounter both computational technologies and the organizational use and management of information systems.

Project work and practical learning

Project work is distributed across three stages:

• Project I in Semester IV;

• Project II in Semester VI; and

• Project III in Semester VIII.

Practical components are also connected with programming, electronics, instrumentation, engineering drawing, mechanical workshop, embedded systems, networks, and other technical subjects.

At Pokhara Engineering College, engineering laboratories support practical study. The college also has a library with more than 14,000 books, a digital library, a 35 Mbps broadband leased line, and Wi-Fi zones.

Skills students may develop

Through the curriculum and project work, students work with areas such as:

• computer programming;

• data structures and algorithms;

• database systems;

• operating systems;

• computer architecture;

• computer graphics;

• electronic and embedded systems;

• data communication and computer networks;

• object-oriented software engineering;

• artificial intelligence;

• image processing and pattern recognition;

• information systems;

• ICT project management; and

• technical project development.

The engineering foundation also requires continued work with mathematics, probability and statistics, numerical methods, electrical and electronic subjects, and technical problem-solving.

Career and further study areas

BEIT can support career exploration across information technology and related computing fields. Depending on technical skills, project experience, employer requirements, and further training, graduates may explore work connected with software systems, databases, networking, information systems, embedded computing, ICT projects, or other technology functions.

The degree can also provide a foundation for higher study in information technology and related areas.

Who may consider BEIT?

BEIT may suit students interested in information technology who also want an engineering-oriented academic structure.

Students should expect more than programming. The curriculum includes mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, electronics, mechanics, microprocessors, computer architecture, embedded systems, networking, software engineering, artificial intelligence, information systems, and project work.

This combination may be relevant for students who want to understand both software-based information technology and the technical systems that support computing.
