In one paragraph

What is Imperial College of Engineering?

Imperial College of Engineering (ICE) is an engineering college in Tathali, Bhaktapur, Nepal, affiliated to Tribhuvan University and teaching the Institute of Engineering (IOE) curriculum. It was established in 2058 BS (2001 AD) as Janakpur Engineering College and renamed in 2082 BS; IOE’s own register still lists the college under that earlier name, and jec.edu.np redirects here. It moved from Kupondole in Lalitpur to a purpose-built campus in Tathali. ICE teaches three four-year, eight-semester BE degrees — Civil (BCE, 96 seats), Computer (BCT, 48 seats) and Electronics, Communication and Information (BEI, 48 seats) — 192 seats an intake in total, every one of them awarded on the merit list of the IOE entrance examination. Tribhuvan University awards the degree. This college is not Imperial College London, and not the colleges of the same name in Pune or Raigad in India.

The institution today

An engineering college is its people, practice and continuity.

ICE carries forward more than two decades of engineering education while building a clearer public identity in Tathali. The photographs here document actual teaching, practical work and student life rather than a staged campus promise.

The people in them are the college. If you teach Civil, Computer or Electronics engineering, or run the labs that go with it, see how to apply to work here.

Study is supported by the ordinary spaces where students pause and meet.

One institution, two names

Imperial College of Engineering (ICE) carries forward the academic history of Janakpur Engineering College (JEC). The former name remains important to alumni, official records, historic documents, and people who still search for the college as JEC. ICE is the current institutional identity.

The college was established in 2058 BS (2001 AD). In 2082 BS, it moved from Kupondole, Lalitpur to Tathali, Bhaktapur as part of its transition to the ICE name and campus.

For clarity: references to Janakpur Engineering College or JEC on older university, regulator, alumni, or web records refer to the institution now presented as Imperial College of Engineering.

What continues

The college continues its relationship with Tribhuvan University and the Institute of Engineering framework. Students enter through the IOE entrance route, study the applicable IOE curriculum, and complete the university's academic requirements for their Bachelor of Engineering degree.

ICE currently offers three four-year BE programs: Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Electronics, Communication & Information Engineering.

What the ICE name represents

The current identity brings the institution, its Bhaktapur campus, and its engineering programs into one clear public presentation. The purpose of this website is practical: help students verify affiliation, compare programs, understand admission, plan fees, find the campus, and contact the right team without relying on outdated directory information.

Facts before slogans

College decisions deserve evidence. This site avoids publishing unverified placement rates, rankings, faculty credentials, fee amounts, or admission dates. Time-sensitive information is linked to the responsible official source or confirmed through the admissions office.
