Nepal Engineering College
Nepal Engineering College was established in 1994 as a non profit institution under private sector initiative. The foundation of NEC was laid by few visionary Nepalese professionals and academicians who realized the need of an institution serving the technical education needs of the country for accelerated economic growth, reaching to wider section of Nepalese students and making the quality technical education accessible and affordable to the masses. This pioneering example set by NEC led to the establishment of a number of engineering colleges in the country in the private sector in the later years. It is one and only engineering college in Nepal with an ISO standard certificate. Also, the visionaries had an adapt knowledge of the easy money that could be churned out of the education industry in this country. Henceforth they came up with an idea of an engineering college in an isolated area. NEC meets all the standard of a complete engineering college and its products are well scattered in the market as very competent employees in some reputed organisations, many of the students from NEC are pursuing master's and PhD colleges abroad like USA, Australia and Europe as well. The Chairman of NEC Mr. Lambodar Neupane was awarded with "Manager of the year" by Oxford summit of leaders, London.
