Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for TU Entrance Exams

The season is here again in Nepal! As soon as the NEB results are out, the next big challenge for students is the TU Entrance Exam. Getting into Tribhuvan University is a dream for many, but the first step—the online application—can seem confusing. But don't worry, we've got your back!

This guide will break down the entire process into simple, easy-to-follow steps. Whether you're aiming for the IOM, IOE, BSc CSIT, or any other program, this guide is for you. Let's make sure your TU journey starts smoothly.

Before You Begin: Gather These Documents

Preparation is key! Before you even open the application portal, make sure you have clear, scanned copies of the following documents ready on your computer. This will save you a lot of time and stress.

• A recent passport-sized photograph (usually with a white background).
• A scanned copy of your signature.
• Scanned copies of your Grade 11 and 12 mark sheets/transcripts.
• Scanned copy of your Citizenship certificate (front and back).
• The scanned copy of the bank voucher/payment slip for the entrance fee.

Pro Tip: Scan all your documents clearly. Use a mobile app like Microsoft Lens or Adobe Scan for high-quality scans. Make sure the file sizes are small (usually under 200KB) as per the portal's requirements.

The Application Process: A Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Most TU entrance applications are now online. Here is the general process you will follow.

Step 1: Find the Official TU Portal

This is the most critical step. Always use the official website of the specific TU institute. Do not trust third-party websites or Facebook pages. For example:

• For Engineering: Institute of Engineering (IOE) website (entrance.ioe.edu.np)
• For Medicine: Institute of Medicine (IOM) website (iom.edu.np)
• For Science & Tech: Institute of Science and Technology (IOST) for programs like the BSc CSIT entrance exam.

Bookmark the official website once you find it!

Step 2: Register Your Account

On the entrance portal, you will see a "Register," "Sign Up," or "New Registration" link. You'll need to enter your name, email address, and phone number to create an account. Use an email address that you check regularly.

Step 3: Fill the Online Application Form

Log in with your new account. You will be presented with an online form. Fill in all your personal and academic details carefully. This includes your name, date of birth, parents' names, and your marks from school. Double-check everything before proceeding.

Step 4: Upload Your Documents

This is where your prepared documents come in handy. Upload the scanned photo, signature, mark sheets, and bank voucher in the designated fields. Pay close attention to the required file formats (usually JPG/JPEG).

Step 5: Make the Payment

The entrance notice will specify the bank and account number where you need to deposit the exam fee. After depositing the fee, you will get a voucher. This voucher needs to be scanned and uploaded. Some portals now support online payments through eSewa or Khalti, which makes the process much easier.

Step 6: Submit and Confirm

After you have filled in all the details and uploaded all the documents, review the entire application one last time. If everything is correct, click the "Submit" button. You might see a confirmation page or receive an email. Save a screenshot or PDF of this confirmation.

Step 7: Download Your Admit Card

A few days after applying (or as mentioned in the notice), you will be able to download your admit card from the same portal. The admit card is mandatory for entering the exam hall. Print at least two copies and keep them safe.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Missing the Deadline: TU deadlines are strict. Mark the last date on your calendar.
• Incorrect Information: A small mistake in your name or date of birth can cause big problems later.
• Blurry Photos/Documents: If the verifier cannot see your photo or documents clearly, your application might be rejected.
• Not Saving Proof: Always save the payment voucher, confirmation page, and admit card.

Conclusion

Applying for the TU entrance exam online is a straightforward process if you are prepared. By following these steps, you can avoid common mistakes and ensure your application is submitted successfully. You are now one step closer to achieving your dream of studying at Tribhuvan University.
