In recent times, a good deal of anxious attention has been paid, all over the world, to the utter significance and direct influence of science and technology on our modern lifestyle. Twenty first century is indeed identified as the age of science and technology. Moreover, the progress of any country in the contemporary world depends entirely upon the improvement made by it in the field of technology. In this context, engineering education plays a meaningful and substantial role that cannot be excluded.
Of late, the Institute of Engineering (IOE), Tribhuvan University (TU) was the only institute responsible for imparting engineering education in Nepal which alone could not fulfill the growing demands of our nation. A large sum of national currency drifted out of the country in the name of engineering education.
With these facts in mind, Kantipur Engineering College, abbreviated as KEC was established in 1998 with BE program in Civil Engineering . The college started BE in Computer Engineering and BE in Electronics and Communication Engineering from 2000 and 2002, respectively. KEC endeavors to fabricate accomplished and capable engineers proficient enough to face the dynamic changes of the present century at a relatively tenable cost. BE in Electrical Engineering and Bachelor in Architecture are in pipeline.
Today Kantipur Engineering College is one of the best engineering colleges of Nepal in terms of quality engineering education, serene and pollution free environment, own physical infrastructure, and international linkage. KEC is the oldest private engineering college of Nepal and is affiliated to Tribhuvan University and located at Dhapakhel, Lalitpur, Nepal.
Dhapakhel is a charming small town nestled within Lalitpur Municipality, comprising Ward Numbers 23 and 24 and provides a friendly accomodation to the students willing to stay in the vicinity of the college during their BE studies..
