In one paragraph

What is B.E. Electronics, Communication & Information at ICE?

Bachelor of Electronics, Communication and Information Engineering (BEI) at Imperial College of Engineering is a four-year, eight-semester degree awarded by Tribhuvan University and taught to the Institute of Engineering syllabus. ICE runs it at its Tathali campus in Bhaktapur with 48 seats an intake. The course follows an idea from circuit behaviour and measurement through embedded systems, digital signals, wireless communication and networked information, and it is the hardware side of the foundation that BCT starts from before turning toward computing. Measurement is central: students work on instrumentation and real signals rather than simulation alone. Seats are filled from the merit list of the IOE entrance examination, and +2 marks decide eligibility to sit that exam rather than rank in it. The fee band a student pays follows their entrance rank, and recognition by the Nepal Engineering Council follows the programme rather than the college.

Start with fit

Is Electronics Engineering right for you?

A hardware-aware engineering degree for students interested in circuits, signals, communication, embedded systems and the networks that carry information.

Five students working along a row of electronics trainers, probes and leads in hand
The degree starts by learning what a measurement can prove and what it cannot.

You may enjoy it if

  • You want to know how physical signals become useful information.
  • You enjoy careful measurement, mathematical modelling and hands-on debugging.
  • You are interested in communication, embedded devices, networks or IoT systems.

Know this before choosing

Electronics engineering requires sustained work in mathematics, circuits, electromagnetics and signals. Practical sessions involve patient measurement and troubleshooting, not just assembling devices.

What you will learn

Move from a signal to a complete system.

Electronics Engineering connects careful measurement, hardware-software integration and the communication links that carry useful information.

01 · Measure

Circuits, signals and instruments

Make voltage, timing, frequency and noise visible, then learn what the measurement can actually prove.

  • Circuits
  • Signals
  • Instrumentation

02 · Build

Embedded and physical systems

Join sensors, processors and code so a device can read, decide and respond within real limits.

  • Microprocessors
  • Embedded systems
  • Control
A close view of the instruments and leads laid out on the electronics bench
Year 4 integrates instruments, signals and a defensible project outcome.
03 · Connect

Wireless and communication systems

Balance noise, bandwidth, range and power to move information through a complete communication chain.

  • Wireless
  • Antennas
  • Networks

The four-year journey

Each year connects more of the signal chain.

Open a year for representative subjects. The official TU/IOE syllabus remains the authority.

Practical learning

Predict it. Measure it. Debug what disagrees.

Bench work builds the discipline to test a circuit, question an unexpected trace and document how a complete system behaves.

Where it can lead

Choose a direction through the systems you can test.

The degree can lead toward telecom, networks, embedded systems, IoT, electronics, broadcast or software-adjacent roles. A strong portfolio should show both technical depth and the ability to explain how a complete system was tested.

  • Telecommunication engineering
  • Network and ISP systems
  • Embedded systems and IoT
  • Broadcast and media systems
  • Software and systems roles
  • Postgraduate specialisation

Questions students ask

Clear answers before a four-year decision.

Is this the same as electrical or computer engineering?

There is overlap in the foundations, but this degree places particular emphasis on electronics, signals, embedded systems, wireless communication and information networks. The curriculum section shows that progression in detail.

Is the curriculum shown here final?

It is an indicative year-by-year guide based on the current IOE structure. Tribhuvan University and the Institute of Engineering remain the authority for the official syllabus, subject codes and any revisions.

How do I get the current fee sheet?

Request the dated fee sheet from the admissions team. They will explain the current intake, payment schedule, scholarship conditions and any university charges before you make a decision.

Can I visit before applying?

Yes. Ask admissions to arrange a campus visit so you can see relevant learning spaces, discuss eligibility and bring a parent or guardian if you prefer.

Are scholarships available?

The merit award is built into the published fee rather than granted on top of it: a stronger IOE entrance rank places you in a lower fee band, and the amount published for that band is what you pay. The full structure is on the fees page, and you can check your own rank against it there.
