Bachelor of Civil Engineering (BE Civil) is a four-year, eight semester program of Tribhuvan University. Currently, 14 Engineering Colleges of Nepal offers Bachelor of Civil Engineering (BE Civil) course with affiliation from Tribhuvan University. Total number of BE Civil seats at TU is 1369.
Civil engineering is a professional discipline that deals with the planning, design, construction and maintenance of physical and natural environments. It involves construction and maintenance works of physical infrastructures, bridges, roads, canals, dams, buildings, urban planning etc. Civil Engineering is constantly evolving with the advent of technology and new materials. It has led to significant improvements in the understanding of how structures behave and economy varies in construction.
