Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for admission to this Master’s program, candidates must have a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree in Civil or Agriculture Engineering or an equivalent qualification.

Applicants should have undergraduate grades well above average and meet the minimum criteria set by the IOE Faculty Board. Additionally, they must achieve the required minimum score in the entrance exam conducted by the IOE Entrance Board (or as recommended by the special entrance committee for foreign students).

Note: Equivalence means having a similar degree from institutions other than Tribhuvan University, which is recognized by TU as equivalent to TU’s degree in the same field.

Admission Procedure

Candidates interested in applying for the M.Sc. program must complete and submit the online application form within the deadline set by the Entrance Exam Board. Application forms are available on the IOE entrance websites.

Steps to apply include:

1. Pay the required application fee for the entrance exam into the designated bank account using a voucher that includes the applicant’s name and date of birth. The voucher number must be entered in the online application form.

2. Select the appropriate entrance stream while filling out the application.

3. Complete all required fields on the form without skipping any sections.

4. Upload a recent color photograph following the prescribed specifications, along with one valid identification document such as a citizenship certificate, passport, or last exam admit card.
