Before You Start
- A stable internet connection and the latest browser.
- A working email address and mobile number you check daily.
- Your marksheets (grades 11 & 12) and SEE/SLC for reference.
- A passport-size photo in the size/format the form asks for.
- The application fee ready in Khalti, eSewa, or as a bank voucher.
Step 1 — Online Registration
- Open the official TU admission portal — as announced in the official application notice (PDF) and accessible from iost.tu.edu.np.
- Click New Applicant Registration and enter your name, email, mobile number and password.
- Verify your account using the OTP sent to your email or phone.
- Save your login credentials somewhere safe — you will need them for the admit card too.
Step 2 — Fee Payment
- Log in and open the Application / Fee Payment section.
- Pay the CSIT form submission fee online via Khalti, eSewa or a bank voucher. The exact fee is announced in the notice — keep the payment reference or receipt.
- Wait for the portal to confirm the payment; this can take a few minutes, so don't double-pay.
Step 3 — Form Filling
- Fill personal details exactly as they appear on your citizenship or passport — no nicknames.
- Enter your grade 11 and grade 12 marks subject by subject, matching the marksheets.
- Select your preferred exam center (if an option is given).
- List your college preferences for seat allotment, if the form asks for them.
Step 4 — Upload Documents
- Upload clear, recent scans in the exact size and format stated (usually JPG/PDF).
- Typical uploads: passport-size photo, marksheets, SEE certificate, and any equivalence document.
- Check every upload by opening the preview before submitting.
Step 5 — Verification & Submission
- Review the full form once — spelling, marks, preferences.
- Submit, then download and print the application receipt.
- Keep the receipt and your login saved until the admit card is out.
- If your form is returned or rejected, fix the noted issue and resubmit before the deadline.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Uploading blurry or cropped documents. Verification rejects them and the re-upload window is short.
- Mismatched name spelling. Your form, marksheet and admit card must all match.
- Wrong marks or wrong subject order. Triple-check against the marksheet.
- Paying and not submitting the form. A paid but unsubmitted application is useless.
- Waiting for the final day. Payment delays, server load and verification issues are common on deadline day.
