In Nepal, the Bachelor in Architecture (B.Arch) is a five-year program that integrates creative design, technical expertise, and cultural understanding. Unlike civil engineers, who focus primarily on structural integrity, architects are responsible for designing spaces that are not only functional and safe but also aesthetically pleasing and culturally significant. As Nepal modernizes, architects play a crucial role in balancing innovation with tradition, preserving the country’srich heritagewhile addressing modern challenges like sustainability and environmental resilience.
Architecture stands out by focusing on design, aesthetics, and spatial experience, balancing creativity with functionality. Architects envision how a space looks and feels, while civil engineers ensure structural and technical soundness. Architects prioritize flow, materials, sustainability, and user comfort in harmony with cultural and environmental contexts.
Notable alumni include Ar. Aman Kumar Maskey (Honorable Minister-Ministry of Physical Infrastrurue Development), Ar. Padma Kumar Mainali (Joint Secretory-Ministry of Urban Development), and Ar. Baburam Bhattarai (City Planning Commission, Kathmandu).
The Department of Architecture at NEC was established in 1996. In 2019, under Pokhara University, the curriculum was revised to include innovation, sustainability, and practical learning. The department has 18+ experienced faculty members and a strong alumni network.

Have you ever wondered how the tallest skyscrapers, longest bridges or gigantic hydropower plants are made? Behind every structure around us, there is the meticulous planning and execution of Civil Engineers. Civil Engineering is mostly about designing, building, and maintaining the infrastructures that keep our world connected and moving. From constructing earthquake-resistant buildings to ensuring clean water reaches every home, Civil Engineers turn ideas into reality. If you dream of creating structures that stand the test of time and want a career that combines creativity, technology, and real-world impact — Civil Engineering is your path to shaping the future!
Civil Engineering offers several advantages, especially for students looking for diverse scope after a bachelor’s degree and a career with visible, long-lasting impact. One of the biggest strengths of Civil Engineering is its wide-ranging applications — from structural design, transportation, water supply, and environmental protection to urban development and disaster-resilient infrastructure. Unlike fields that may confine you to factories or coding rooms, Civil Engineers work in both outdoor project sites and technical offices, providing a dynamic and balanced work environment.
After a bachelor’s degree, Civil Engineering graduates enjoy diverse career options — pursuing higher studies in structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, construction management, environmental engineering, or even transitioning into entrepreneurship, urban planning, or public service. Civil Engineers are also in constant demand globally, as developing and maintaining infrastructure like roads, bridges, tunnels, water systems, and smart cities is essential for every nation.
Bachelor in Civil Engineering is being offered in Nepal Engineering College since its establishment in 1994. As one of the earliest engineering institutes, Nepal Engineering College has produced a large mass of civil engineers who are working as accomplished professionals and academicians all over the world.

In Nepal, significant development challenges persist in rural areas due to rural poverty and a low quality of life. Technology, infrastructure, and services are closely interconnected, and together they have a positive impact on the rural economy and quality of life. This has led to a demand for technical professionals who can apply engineering and technology knowledge to rural development.
Civil Engineering course is a general type which has subjects like; Irrigation Engineering, Hydropower Engineering, Foundation Engineering, Surveying, Design of Reinforced Structures and Steel Structures and so on. On the other hand, the Civil and Rural Engineering course has been designed incorporating the contents of rural infrastructures and technology without reducing any content of Civil Engineering course. The graduates of Civil and Rural Engineering will have knowledge of rural roads, trail bridges, ropeway, renewable energy, farm structures, mechanization in farming and post harvest technology in addition to the knowledge of Civil Engineering graduates.
The graduates of Civil and Rural Engineering can compete with graduates of Civil Engineering in any sectors; governmental agencies, NGOs, INGOs, construction industry or consulting firms. The graduates of Civil and Rural Engineering will have relatively more knowledge in the areas of rural infrastructures and technology used in rural areas. So they are more suitable for agencies working in rural areas. There are many successful graduates who have competed in the Public Service Commission (Loksewa aayog), Nepal. One of our graduates has been working as Under Secretary (2nd Class officer - upa-sachiv) in the Department of Irrigation. Many graduates are working in the construction industry, INGOs, NGOs etc.
The first batch of Civil and Rural Engineering enrolled in 2008 AD in Nepal Engineering College. Nepal Engineering College was the first institute to initiate this course in order to produce cadres who are able to work in rural areas effectively. Back in 2008 AD the course was designed having nine semesters. In 2018 AD, Pokhara University also initiated this program. Till date only two institutes; Nepal Engineering College and Pokhara University, are offering this course. Till date there are about 300 licensed Civil and Rural Engineers.
