Sagarmatha Engineering College

What Sagarmatha Engineering College does

Sagarmatha Engineering College (SEC) is a private Nepali engineering institution founded in 2010 and headquartered in Sanepa, Lalitpur. The college is affiliated with Tribhuvan University's Institute of Engineering (TU-IOE) and currently holds Permanent Accreditation from the Nepal Engineering Council granted in 2025. SEC delivers three four-year Bachelor of Engineering programs — Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Electronics, Communication & Information Engineering — to science-stream graduates seeking professional engineering credentials in Nepal.

The college operates supporting technology infrastructure including an ERP system for academic administration, a free Computer Based Test (CBT) platform (cbt.sagarmatha.edu.np) used for IOE, B.Sc. CSIT and BCA entrance exam preparation, and the Sagarmatha Research and Development Centre (SRDC), a multidisciplinary research unit jointly operated with sister institution SCST. SRDC supports student research intern programs, publications and AI/ML-focused projects spanning computer vision (CNN on CIFAR-10, YOLO-based PCB defect detection), Nepali speech recognition (CNN-GRU-CTC), and IoT frameworks for agricultural and water-supply decision support.

SEC generates revenue primarily through semester-based tuition fees for its Bachelor of Engineering programs, supplemented by training, placement and internship-related services delivered through a dedicated Training and Placement Cell in coordination with 35+ industry partners. The college actively pursues internationalization via Erasmus+ capacity-building consortia (PBL South Asia, InterNepInd, ELNAB, B+NESDG) and bilateral partnerships with Aalto University (Finland), Universidad Politecnica de Cartagena (Spain), University of Aveiro (Portugal) and others, supporting student mobility, problem-based learning adoption and applied research projects. Marketing channels are predominantly digital — the official website, multi-platform social media, free workshops and alumni testimonials — with admissions funneled through the TU-IOE centralized entrance examination.
