Radiant College has officially signed an MoU with Kathmandu University to launch the BIT program, marking a major step in expanding quality IT education in Rupandehi.
In a significant academic milestone, Radiant College will begin offering the Bachelor in Information Technology (BIT) program from the upcoming academic session under the partnership program of Kathmandu University.
The formal preparation for running the program was completed with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 28 December 2025 (Poush 13, 2082) between Mr. Alok Kumar Pandey, Chairman of Radiant College, and Prof. Dr. Manish Pokharel, Dean of Kathmandu University School of Engineering, in the presence of Associate Professors Prof. Dr. Bal Krishna Bal(Associate Dean) and Prof. Dr. Shyam Sundar Khadka (Associate Dean), School of Engineering, along with other distinguished faculty and college representatives.
The newly approved BIT program is a 4-year, 8-semester undergraduate degree comprising 127 credits, carefully designed to meet current and future demands of the IT industry.
The curriculum emphasizes strong technical foundations with core technology courses such as Artificial Intelligence, Mobile Application Development, Big Data, Deep Learning, and Cloud Computing. Students will complete core technical projects in every semester, totaling 20 credits, including a 6-credit company internship that ensures real-world industry exposure.
The program also offers 9 credits of specialization courses, with 21 credits in Software Core Technologies and 18 credits in Hardware Core Technologies, providing a balanced and industry-ready learning structure.
Following the MoU signing ceremony, the Radiant family - including students, faculty members, and staff - celebrated the occasion with a cake-cutting ceremony, sharing joy and marking the milestone together.
Admission to the BIT program is open to Nepalese and international applicants who have completed +2 Science with Physics, Chemistry or Computer Science, and Mathematics, securing a minimum of 50% marks or a CGPA of 2.0 or equivalent.
This program builds on Radiant College’s proven experience in delivering Kathmandu University extension programs, including the BTech Ed. IT and BIT (Dual Degree), jointly conducted under the Kathmandu University School of Education and School of Engineering.
Since 2024, Radiant College has been successfully running the BTech Ed. IT program, demonstrating outstanding academic outcomes. Notably, three students achieved a perfect CGPA of 4.0 out of 4.0, reflecting the college’s academic strength and quality teaching-learning practices.
With the launch of the KU-School of Engineering-BIT program, Radiant College continues its upward journey as a rising center of excellence in IT education, empowering students, strengthening regional academic capacity, and setting new benchmarks in Rupandehi’s higher education landscape.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Kathmandu University for their continued trust and collaboration. Warm congratulations and best wishes are extended to all well-wishers and stakeholders of Radiant College.
