Pulchowk campus introduced Bachelor in Aerospace Engineering in 2075 B.S. under the Department of Aerospace Engineering for the first time in Nepal. Tribhuvan University (TU) has introduced Bachelors in Aerospace Engineering from the new educational session 2075/76 with the motive to facilitate young aviation enthusiasts for achieving aerospace engineering degree, TU has finally included the course which will be running solely by the it's faculties.
The 4 years course will include theoretical studies along with industrial exposure. Previously, Nepali students were compelled to travel to countries like China, Philippines for aerospace engineering course at a highly expensive cost. Keeping this in mind, TU has stepped forward to provide the same course here in home country thus, facilitating and encouraging the aviation enthusiasts from Nepal.
Eligibility
In case of Letter Grading System, students should have secured minimum "C" Grade in all subjects in Grade 11 and 12.
OR
Students who have passed 10+2 or equivalent examinations with minimum of 50% marks in aggregate and 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics (PCM) are eligible to apply for the admission in Bachelor in Industrial Engineering program.
Admission Criteria
Curricular Structure
The course consists of 246 credits in total divided into 8 semesters. In each semester the credits are again distributed into Lecture Credits (LC), Training Credits (TC), and Practical Credits (PC).
Students can choose 1 elective subject in the seventh semester and two in the eighth.
