What is the cutoff rank for BE Computer in 2083?

The first and second merit lists are now published, and every programme's closing rank is on them, searchable by IOE roll number at icenepal.com/merit-list. Those closing ranks still move outward on the third list, so a rank just past the line is not out yet. The ICE admissions team will guide you through it free of charge.

When does IOE admission open after the 2083 entrance result?

The Centralized Admission Monitoring Committee published the admission schedule on 12 August 2026 at admission.ioe.edu.np. Applications for the first three lists ran 14 to 18 August and priority amendment ran 19 to 22 August. The first merit list came out on 23 August and the second on 30 August, and the third follows by 6 September 2026. Admission from the second list closes at 3:00 pm on 2 September.

Will someone help me fill the IOE priority form?

Yes. The ICE admissions team helps any student who passed the 2083 entrance fill the priority form correctly, free of charge, whether or not they place ICE on their list. Call 01-5091616 or bring your parents to the Tathali campus.

Should I stop after the first merit list?

No. Several merit lists are published one after another and seats move between them as students accept places elsewhere. Students who leave the process after the first list often lose a seat they would have been offered in a later round.

Put in your rank, let us do the rest, and we will walk you the whole way through priority order, the merit lists and what you actually pay.

Your name and details are read from the Entrance Examination Board's published 2083 pass list. See the official notice. Nothing you type here is saved.

Your rank decides your fee

And this is what it would cost you.

The fee at ICE is set by your IOE entrance rank, not by negotiation and not by who you know. The whole structure is published below. This works out where your own number lands in it.

The question everyone is asking this week

Please do not lose sleep over cutoffs.

There is no 2083 cutoff yet, for any college or any programme. Cutoffs are decided later, by what 7,179 students choose over the next few weeks. Nobody has that number today, so if you have been comparing yourself against last year's figures and feeling anxious, you can stop.

You do not need a cutoff to take your next step. You need the right dates and somebody to check your form before you submit it. Both are on this page, and both are free.

If you would rather just talk to a person, call 01-5091616 or WhatsApp 984-9668993. Ask us anything, even if you have already decided on another college.

You will not be doing this alone

What we will actually do for you

None of this depends on you choosing ICE. A student who fills the priority form correctly and gets into a good campus is a good outcome, and we would rather help you get there.

We sit with you and fill the form

The IOE priority form decides where you spend four years, and the order matters more than most families realise. Come to campus or call, and we will go through it line by line with you.

We explain it to your parents

In Nepali, plainly, with the money set out clearly. Bring them along. Most of the worry in a house at this time of year is about cost, and it is much easier to settle in person.

We tell you when the lists come out

Merit lists arrive in rounds and it is easy to miss one. Give us your number and somebody will call you when a list affects you, so you are never the last to know.

We answer the question you are afraid to ask

About money, about a low rank, about whether engineering is still worth it. Nobody here will make you feel small for asking. That is the job.

What you are actually signing up for

Four years from now, you are an engineer.

Not a certificate in a drawer. A Tribhuvan University degree, a Nepal Engineering Council licence, and the hands to go with them.

An ICE student bedding a brick into fresh mortar during a concrete and materials practical — You will break concrete to find out what it can hold, and you will believe it because you saw it.

ICE students practising with survey equipment on the campus ground — You will stand on a real site with an instrument in your hands, not a photograph of one.

Desktop workstations in the ICE computer engineering laboratory — You will write the code that makes a machine move, and watch it move.

Things that make it possible

So the cost is not the reason you give it up.

FreeCollege bus from KoteshworA daily route to the Tathali campus, so getting to class does not depend on owning a vehicle.
PublishedA fee set by your rank, not by negotiationThe whole 2083/84 structure is public, and your merit award is already inside the number rather than promised on top of it. Put your rank in above and you will see the exact amount for every programme.
Since 2058 BSTribhuvan University affiliationThe same TU degree and the same IOE syllabus as any affiliated college in the valley. Your certificate does not carry an asterisk.

The amount is published here, dated, so you can compare it against anyone else before you speak to us. We will still send you the signed fee sheet with the payment schedule attached, so your family sees the whole picture at once instead of a number without its terms.

So you know what is coming

What happens, and when

4 August 2026 · 19 Shrawan 2083
Your result came out. Download your scorecard from the entrance portal before 4 September, because it comes down after that, and keep the file safe. You will need it later. Official notice.
14 to 18 August 2026 · 29 Shrawan to 2 Bhadra
Applications for the first three lists. There was no single central form, so each campus took its own priority application through its own portal, and ours is at icenepal.com/apply.
19 to 22 August 2026 · 3 to 6 Bhadra
Priority amendment. Each campus had to send its final order to IOE by 3:00 pm on 22 August, so every list from here is generated from the order already filed and there is nothing left to change about it.
23 August 2026 · 7 Bhadra
The first list was published, complaints were heard 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and the revised list followed by 6:00 pm. Admission from it ran 24 August to 3:00 pm on 27 August, extended by one day to 28 August after the floods, in a letter the Office of the Dean wrote on 26 August.
30 August 2026 · 14 Bhadra
The second list is out and final, and admission from it ran to 3:00 pm on 2 September. ICE's own second list issearchable here by roll number. A seat not taken by that hour goes back into the pool for the third list.
6 September
The third list, with an admission window of its own on 7 and 8 September. Seats keep moving as students accept places elsewhere, so a list that does not call your name is not the end. Please stay in the process to the last round.

The admission dates come from the Centralized Admission Monitoring Committee's published procedure at admission.ioe.edu.np, and the result dates from the Entrance Board's notices. Always check there before acting, because a schedule can move and this page is not the authority on it.

For parents

Come and see it before you decide anything.

You are about to make one of the larger financial decisions of your family's life, on the strength of a web page. You should not have to. Come to the campus in Tathali, walk through the labs and the hostel, and ask the hard questions in person. Bring your son or daughter and take as long as you need.

We will not ask you to pay anything or sign anything on a visit. If you leave and choose another college, that is a fair outcome and we will still help with the priority form.

Straight answers

What families ask us this week

My rank is low. Is it over?

No. You passed a national entrance that many people did not, and seats keep moving through several merit list rounds. The students who lose out are usually the ones who give up after the first list, not the ones with a modest rank. Call us and we will look at your options with you honestly.

What is the cutoff for BE Computer this year?

The second merit list is now published, and it carries each programme’s closing rank, Computer’s included. Search it by your roll number. That line still moves outward on the third list, so a rank just past it is not a no yet. Anyone quoting a fixed 2083 cutoff is guessing from last year, however confident they sound.

Can you promise me a seat if I apply now?

No, and please be careful with anyone who does. Every BE seat at a TU affiliated college is allocated against your entrance rank through the official process. What applying now does is put you first in the queue for help, information and a callback.

My name is not showing for my rank.

Check the number against your published result, since the list runs from 1 to 7,179. If it still does not match, call 01-5091616 and we will open the published list and look at it with you.

My result says withheld. What do I do?

A withheld result cannot be used for admission until the Entrance Examination Board releases it, so the Board is who to contact first, not a college. Once you know where that stands, call us and we will work out the options together.

We cannot afford private college fees.

Please look at the actual number before you rule it out. The fee is published on this page and it is set by your entrance rank, so you can see your own amount in a few seconds without speaking to anybody. The hostel and the bus from Koteshwor are free for enrolled students, and the fee sheet comes with a payment schedule rather than one lump sum. Nobody will pressure you on a phone call.

Where does IOE publish the entrance result and the merit list?Both on entrance.ioe.edu.np. The 2083 list carried 7,179 names in alphabetical order with a rank against each and no marks. Campus admission then runs on a separate portal, admission.ioe.edu.np.
