Course Description:

The Bachelor of Technology in Environmental Engineering program has been started from 2005. This program focuses on the basic understanding of the environmental problems and their mitigation through appropriate and environmental friendly technologies. The student will acquire knowledge and skill of Environmental Engineering which is designed to develop human resources in the areas of development, improvement and transfer of appropriate technologies, the abatement of pollution and minimization of the environmental risk of development works by using environment friendly technologies and engineering methods.

Admission info

To be eligible for applying to the program, one must meet the following criteria:

Must have passed 12 years (10+2) of formal education.
Must have passed Higher Secondary Level Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM) 50%.
Must appear in the entrance examination and selection interview.

The entrance examination and interview is highly competitive and the successful candidates in both are eligible to get admission.

Admission Procedure
Notification for admission to all undergraduate programs offered by the school under the department is published in major dailies and is in the website: www.ku.edu.np in the month of June/July seeking applications from eligible candidates.
