Resumen:

A complete LaTeX template for Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD theses at Kathmandu University, preconfigured to the university's formatting guidelines. It includes all standard preliminary pages, auto-generated TOC/figures/tables lists, IEEE-style citations, and separate chapter and appendix files. All thesis metadata and optional sections are configured in one file, `thesis-info.tex`, making it easy to customize without editing the document structure.

This template is tailored specifically to the formatting guidelines of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. However, it can easily be adapted for other departments with similar template and requirements. Users are free to modify the preamble and customize the template to match their specific needs.
