  • Above 40% of NIET's graduates are pursuing Master's and PhD programs in reputed Universities around the globe. More than 40 of them have already completed their Ph.D. Most of the graduates of this college have received full scholarships, assistantships, or research grants for their higher studies. Some of them have also received prestigious scholarships such as Erasmus Mundus (Europe), Marie Curie fellowship (Italy), and Singa Award (Singapore).
  • Some of the NIET's graduates have established their own companies and have provided jobs to many biomedical engineers.
  • Since its inception in the year 2062, we have already produced 13 (Thirteen) batches with above 500 graduates, and to the best of the college's knowledge, none of the graduates are found to be unemployed.
  • NIET's students have received first prizes in paper and poster presentations at various national and international conferences. Many articles written by NIET's students have already been published and are being published in international journals like Photodiagnosis & Photodynamic Therapy, Engineering Reports, Dalton Transactions, International Journal of Biomedical & Advanced Research, Journal of Engineering in Medicine, International Journal of Creative & Innovative Research in all Studies, and many more.
  • The College has been providing internships to foreign students, and some of NIET's students are also going to foreign countries for the same reason. The college has already established a partnership with the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE) for this purpose.
  • The student's intake quota has been increased from 96 to 144 over the last year.

ABOUT US

National Institute of Engineering and Technology (NIET), formerly the College of Biomedical Engineering and Applied Sciences (CBEAS), was established in 2005 and is affiliated with Purbanchal University and registered with the Nepal Engineering Council. There are only a few colleges in Asia providing higher education in Biomedical Engineering, and this is the only one in Nepal. Within a very short span of time, this college has established a coveted place in this field, and efforts continue to make it a unique institution in the field of biomedical education. The college uses all its initiatives to create new opportunities for students and help them reach new heights.

The college is imparting world-class education, providing professional opportunities here and abroad.

What is Biomedical Engineering?

'Biomedical Engineering' refers to the application of engineering principles to clinical diagnosis and therapy, as well as to the investigation of the physiological basis of disease. NIET provides education on the engineering of artificial organs, implantable devices, cardiac-assisting devices, imaging, and other diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. It also involves the development of organs from cells, known as Tissue Engineering.

Objectives

The main objective is to serve as a centre of excellence by conducting research works and bringing out technocrats with superior skills & commitment. The whole motto of NIET concentrates on generating brilliant young talents to face all challenges in this highly competitive global scenario. In order to meet all these, the college plans to introduce a Master's Program soon. As a premier Biomedical body, it aims to play a significant role in the overall development of the health sectors of Nepal. In fact, it also mirrors Nepal's growth and development in the intellectual field.

Scope of Courses

Biomedical Engineers are needed all over the world, whether developed, developing, or underdeveloped. These engineers are selling like hot cakes in the world market. In Nepal also, they are also being employed extensively in hospitals, nursing homes, medical colleges, and medical equipment companies. After completing this course, the graduates can establish their own independent industries, thereby creating more jobs.

Faculty

The faculty of NIET comprises of experienced, trained, and well-educated teachers. Many college faculties are recognized nationally and internationally for their teaching and research expertise. Guest Lectures from various nationally and internationally renowned professors are conducted very frequently.

Mission

Empower the next generation to drive innovation in Biomedical Engineering, AI, and Computer Engineering. Deliver industry-aligned education with proven results: graduates at Cambridge, Mayo Clinic, Nanyang Tech, and leading hospitals across Nepal.

Vision

Be globally recognized as Nepal's premier multi-program engineering institute. First UGC-QAA certified. Best Private College award winner. Building a reputation that opens doors worldwide from Cambridge to Silicon Valley. 

Message from the Chairman

Laxman Pokhrel

Dear students, guardians, and well-wishers!

I feel both proud and honored to lead one of the best technical colleges in Nepal, the National Institute of Engineering and Technology (NIET). Our achievements, including awards from the Ministry of Education and QAA certification from UGC Nepal, are the result of the hard work of our students, teachers, and staff.

Every year, more students want to join NIET because of our excellent results. To meet this demand, we have moved to a larger building with more space. We are also improving our labs and research facilities with the latest equipment to give students better learning opportunities. Our focus is not just on academics but also on research and on our students' overall growth. Many of them have completed outstanding research projects and publications.

Since our first batch graduated in 2009, more than 40% of our students have pursued higher studies abroad, enrolling in Master's and PhD programs. They are studying in countries such as the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia, Japan, and many others. Many have received scholarships such as Erasmus Mundus and Singapore Awards. Those who stayed in Nepal have also done well, with some even starting their own companies and creating jobs for others.

We are also excited to announce new academic programs starting from this session. NIET will now offer Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering (BE Computer), and Bachelor of Technology in Artificial Intelligence (B. Tech All programs. Likewise, we are planning to run a Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT) & Master of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering (ME Biomedical Engineering). These courses will prepare students for the fast-growing global tech industry.

Finally, I want to sincerely thank our teachers and administrative staff for their hard work and dedication in making the National Institute of Engineering & Technology a great institution.

Thank you!

Er. Laxman Pokhrel
