Moreover, KEC entered a Memorandum of Understanding with network of Universities UNITWIN at Handong Global University in South Korea with an appreciative initiation of our Principal Asso. Prof. Chand S. Rana.

We are proud to share that our faculty Sr. Lec. Subash Phuyal’s research paper was selected for the esteemed International Journal of Emerging Technologies and Innovative Research. Also, Sr. Lec. Ganesh Gautam won the best paper for his presentation in JENESYS 2016 hosted in Japan. Similarly, students of KEC secured first position in the Drone competition and Tech Bihani 3.0 and third position in RoboAkhada and Mechtrix 4.0. Also, the win by KEC students continued in the international Arcasia Students’ design competition. Even the best thesis award for the year was won by KEC’s Sadixya Pant.

KEC, continuing to be proactive in sports, organised a week-long sports event where more than 1000 students, faculty and staff participated in various games. Similarly, KEC managed to lift the winner’s cup for the intercollege futsal competition too.

Furthermore, this semester, the much awaited Student Council Election was held with a fair turnout of 88 percent students casting their votes and electing Mr. Purna Bahadur Khadka as the president of the council. We congratulate him and the entire team for the win and wish them a successful tenure.
