Sindhuli Community Technical Institute (SCTI) is a nonprofit community technical institution established in 2014 in Sindhuli district, Bagmati Province. It was formed through cooperation involving DCC Sindhuli, Kamalamai Municipality, and the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT).
SCTI provides technical education in information technology, civil engineering, and agriculture. Its diploma programs operate under CTEVT, while the Bachelor of Technical Education in Information Technology is affiliated with Kathmandu University (KU). The B Tech Ed IT program has been offered at the institute since 2022.

SCTI currently offers one bachelor's program under Kathmandu University and two diploma programs under CTEVT.
SCTI was established as a community-based technical institution through a trilateral arrangement involving DCC Sindhuli, Kamalamai Municipality, and CTEVT. Its academic direction has centered on technical and vocational education linked with engineering, agriculture, and information technology.
The institution operates within two separate academic frameworks. The bachelor's program follows Kathmandu University requirements, while the diploma programs follow CTEVT curricula and academic regulations.
This distinction applies to eligibility, admission procedures, curriculum implementation, examinations, assessment, and academic awards. Students therefore follow the rules of the affiliating body responsible for their respective program.
The institute's stated mission focuses on preparing skilled technical human resources in response to community and industry needs. Its broader academic approach connects technical knowledge with practical application, professional preparation, and vocational learning.
SCTI's institutional land information refers to locations within Kamalamai Municipality.
One site comprises 3.399 hectares of CTEVT-owned land at Nunthala, Ward No. 6, Kamalamai Municipality. The site is bordered by an entrance road on the northern side and seasonal streams toward the east and west. A Pipal and Barr tree stands within the area as a recognizable feature of the site.
A separate 2.7-hectare land area is associated with Tintaley Pathiparan, Kamalamai Municipality-8, Sindhuli. The institute is also identified with Tintaley Pathiparan as its general institutional location.
Available physical infrastructure includes:
A three-story academic building with 19 rooms
A computer and Internet laboratory
A reading room
Classroom space for academic activities
These facilities support classroom instruction and the practical requirements of technical programs.
| Program | Affiliation | Duration / Seats |
|---|---|---|
| Bachelor of Technical Education in Information Technology (B Tech Ed IT) | Kathmandu University | 4 years / 30 seats |
| Diploma in Civil Engineering | CTEVT | 3 years / 48 seats |
| Diploma in Agriculture (Veterinary Science) | CTEVT | 3 years / 40 seats |
Each program follows the curriculum, admission requirements, examination system, and award provisions prescribed by its respective academic body.
