__________________________________________________________________________________
Hey! So you just got your results out for the 2079 IOE Entrance; or you just wanted to visit this page to feed your procrastination. Well either way, welcome to my blog and I'm dedicating my first one towards the younglings entering IOE currently. This information will not only be useful for this year but for many more years to come so if you just gave Entrance for 2079,80 or even 2090 there might be something in store for you here.
First let me provide a disclaimer here that I'm not an expert at IOE matters nor am I a final year student or a passout. I'm still in my first year but during admission and after being admitted, I've collected a lot of useful info from variety of different people in and out of campus; and there's some tips from me personally as well.
Statistics about IOE Entrance 2079:

Frequently Asked Questions Related to Entrance:
When I gave my entrance exams I was wondering what I should do and while browsing the countless Facebook posts and Reddit threads about people asking questions regarding entrance and admissions, it got me curious and I learnt quite some stuff. I just want to share those things with you, reader, so that you don't have to go through the same hassle that I did.
1. What subfield of engineering should I choose?
There's a ton of engineering fields like Civil (the only considered Engineering in Nepal), Mechanical (Often referred to as Father of Engineering), Electrical, Electronics Communication & Information, Computer, Aerospace, Chemical, Industrial, Geomatics, Automobile and the Civil's Assistant (haha no just kidding it's a nice subject too): Architecture.
Now if you have to ask me this question, then I'm sorry to tell you this but you're maybe not cut out for Engineering after all. So did you give this exam because you wanted to be an engineer or did you just want to study engineering? Because if it's the former, there's probably an inner desire within you that pushes you to choose one of the fields I mentioned above. Ask yourself "What do I want to create" because creation and innovation are basically the two horsemen of an Engineering career.
I'll make sure to write and link a blog post about choosing the best field for you later as it would take too much space here. Till then, keep questioning yourself.
2. Which campus should I study in?
For this question, the general rule of thumb is to follow the crowd because a campus is made great by the students and not the campus itself. There's no rattling of leaves without a wind, right?
So the obvious answer to this looks like:
Pulchowk > Thapathali > WRC > ERC > Chitwan >Private
But then again there's much more at play than the crowd. If your distance from home is closer to one, then there's all the more reason to join the one that's closer. Moreover if you're an athletic type of person, you probably wouldn't want to be in Thapathali because of its limited land area.
One tendency I noticed was that people would put Pulchowk at the top no matter what and then for the secondary option they would see which one is near, which one they can study Regular in, etc. I'll come to this is the next question.
3. How much does it cost? And what is this Regular and Full Fee thing?
If you're studying in Constituent Campus (government) the fee structure is divided into two classes being Regular and Full Fee. As a Regular student you will pay approx. 40k throughout your four year adventure and for a Full Fee student, it amounts to approx. 330k for the four years of studies. For a private college, it depends on your bargaining skills and reach. If it's your uncle's campus you may study with a full scholarship but not so much if you're fresh out of Okhaldhunga (no offence intended) and applying for a private college with no confrontational briefing. It might cost you anywhere from 6-8 lakhs to 12-16 lakhs depending upon your chosen college.
4. Is Pulchowk really that good?
Well it's the central campus for IOE so that means something doesn't it? Most administrative and curriculum based decisions come from the central campus. The students there are basically the toppers and your "Falana ko xora/xori"s. What that means is that there's a great diversity in the campus because there's brilliant, innovative and career focused minds from all corners of the country. Because of that, they have built a reputation and as a central campus, they have enough funds to have better labs and grounds than other campuses as well. Moreover, this allows professors in Pulchowk to potentially earn higher than in other campuses. This incentivizes teachers to then compete and become better just to be a lecturer at Pulchowk. This shows the quality of teachers there as well.
But studying in Pulchowk is not a be-all-end-all thing. It's nice if you go there but the other campuses aren't much behind either. The pass rate for all campuses is proportional to the quality of students involved and there's plenty of room to grow within each of the 5 constituent campuses. One major drawback of being the central campus is that political activities affect it much more than other campuses but it can be a good thing if you have leadership skills and are interested in Politics as well.
5. My rank is ... can I study ... in ...?
My suggestion to all of you is to search "cutoff ranks" for each campus in Google and there's certainly someone who has already put it out there. I feel like any effort I make would be just a waste so just use what's out there and see for yourself. Research is a very important aspect of becoming a successful engineer.
6. What do I need to do for admission?
Your best friend during the time of entrance and admission are the two websites:
There is most probably an entrance booklet in the first link, make sure to read it (you've got plenty of time just do it). Then you'll see notices about entrance results and when you'll be able to begin admission. Soon after, the campuses will begin putting notices on their respective websites. In order to see those notices you'll need to access their own websites. The websites are listed in the IOE website and you'll find any info you'll need about the campuses there as well. Here, follow this link to find homepage of IOE:
7. Whom can I ask in case of any more inquiries or suggestions?
There will be a lot of "Help desk"s popping out throughout social media if you search for it (and you should). You might find it helpful to ask there. Alternatively, you might ask yours truly here to give my personal opinions on something, which is usually right because I've done quite a lot of research regarding this (please take my words with a big grain of salt here). I will be updating this blog as I get more questions and topics to tell my juniors about. My contacts will be at the bottom of the page in all of my posts. Feel free to contact me on any.
