Namaskar !! Warm greetings and welcome to the twelfth edition of KEC Newsletter ! This semester, the intellectual environment of KEC was stimulated by yet another international conference held by OKRP, the Office of KEC Research and Publication, led by Er. Pratima Pradhan. The conference proved to be a platform of knowledge sharing amongst the national and international researchers.

The mental, physical and emotional wellbeing of the students, faculty and staff have always been the priority of KEC. It is with this intent that KEC organised a series of Art of Living courses, suitably tailored for the participants. It was yet another proud moment for KEC when the student of KEC, 2068 Batch Architecture, Ar.Darshana Dhaubanjar won the prestigious “Chatra Vidhya Padak” for being the topper girl student in engineering faculty of 2073. Moreover, it is with great pride that we mention here the winning of various competitions by our students: The Smart Meter designed by students of Electical faculty won the first position while the Rotrowar designed by students of EPC club won the second position in LOCUS 2018, the Robotics club of KEC won the “Best Engineering Award” in IOE ROBOCON 2018, the students of Computer Engineering won the first position for their “On-Hover Text-To-Speech Synthesizer” in City Leap organized by Leapfrog Hackathon. Nevertheless, faculty member Sr. Lec. Subash Phuyal and a group of 3rd Year students of Architecture were invited to participate and receive jury appreciation award at the Yuva Ratna Award ceremony organised in Mumbai by the Birla Group.

We at KEC are striving towards excellence and hope to provide quality technical education to the talented minds from all over Nepal. In this regard, we would like to thank all the stakeholders, students, parents and well-wishers for their continual support to this institution to attain overall academic excellence.
