What is TUIOST?
TUIOST stands for Tribhuvan University Institute of Science and Technology – also written as TU IoST or TU IOST. It is one of the oldest and largest technical institutes under Tribhuvan University, headquartered at Kirtipur, Kathmandu. TUIOST oversees bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD programmes in science and technology across 13 central departments, 25 constituent campuses, and over 100 affiliated colleges across Nepal.
For most Nepali students studying science at the bachelor level under TU, TUIOST is the governing body – managing curriculum, entrance examinations, and results for B.Sc, B.Sc CSIT, BIT, and related programmes.
B.Sc Programs Under TUIOST
TUIOST offers the following undergraduate programmes:
- General B.Sc – 4-year programme with two groups: Biological Group and Physical Group
- B.Sc CSIT – Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Information Technology (4 years, very popular)
- BIT – Bachelor of Information Technology (4 years)
- B.Math Sc. – Bachelor in Mathematical Sciences
- B.Sc Nutrition and Dietetics
- B.Tech (Food)
Postgraduate programmes include M.Sc in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Zoology, Botany, Geology, Microbiology, Environmental Science, Statistics, Biotechnology, Hydrology and Meteorology, and more – all run in semester system.
General B.Sc: Biological Group vs Physical Group
The General B.Sc at TUIOST is divided into two streams:
Biological Group
Major subjects include Biology, Chemistry, and one of Botany, Zoology, Microbiology, or related life sciences. Students who pass +2 with Biology as a major subject apply under this group.
Physical Group
Major subjects include Physics, Mathematics, and related physical science or computer subjects. Students who pass +2 with Mathematics as a major subject apply under this group.
The entrance exam is common for both groups, but question paper sections differ by group. In Group B, students may choose either Mathematics or Biology – whichever they have studied at +2 level.
