Mechanical Engineering Colleges in Nepal

Mechanical engineering is a 4-year, 8-semester course in Nepal. It is a branch of engineering that deals with designing, building, and maintaining machines and mechanical systems, in straight term a mechanical engineer deals with heavy duty job. Mechanical engineers use principles of physics and materials science to create solutions involving motion, energy transfer, and force.

This field offers diverse career opportunities in sectors like automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and construction. In Nepal, several colleges provide mechanical engineering degrees, equipping students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills, some of the colleges are listed below. But before that let’s get to know more about the program and eligibility of admission.
