About Tribhuwan
University :
Tribhuvan University (TU), which was
established in 1959, is the first national institution of higher education in
Nepal. The Central Administrative Office and the Central Campus of the
university are located on the north eastern facade of Kirtipur, an ancient and
small town located five kilometers away from Kathmandu city centre. There are
39 central departments and 4 research centres in TU, and out of them 31
departments and 3 research centres are located at Kirtipur. The university at
Kirtipur is spread over an area of 154.77 hectares (3042-5-2 ropanis).
After the second democratic movement
of 2006, the Prime Minister of Nepal is the ceremonial chief, the Chancellor of
the University, whereas
the Minister of
Education is the Pro-Chancellor. The Vice Chancellor is the Chief Executive of
the university. He is assisted by the Rector in academic programmes and the
Registrar in financial management and general administration.
Tribhuvan University is a non-profit
making autonomous institution funded by the Government of Nepal. On January 8,
2013, the government of Nepal has principally agreed to declare Tribhuvan
University as the Central University.
Main objectives of TU
The university was established with
the following objectives:
To prepare capable human resources
required for the overall development of Nepal
To impart standard higher education
To protect and develop national
culture and tradition
To involve in extensive, empirical
and timely creation of knowledge and research in the fields of arts, science,
technology and vocation
Academic Programmes
Tribhuvan University committed and
dedicated to makes a source and centre of quality education, setting up a
culture of learning in the country and promoting the notion of national and
global peace and harmony. Recently, the Tribhuvan University made a decision to
start semester system at the Central Departments. All the departments, except
the Central Department of Law, introduced the semester system. This systemic
change was introduced to enforce the academic calendar, to make students full
time students dedicated to their studies, to reduce financial burden on
students and their parents by making the students complete the degree in time,
to respond to the growing concern of the stakeholders about enhancing the
academic quality of university education through academic rigor, to revitalize
the fame, popularity, credibility and contribution of the university as the
oldest centre of higher learning and the central and leading university of
Nepal.
The Faculty of Management and
Institute of Science and Technology have decided to extend the semester system
in Master’s degree outside the
central department from this year.
Other Faculties are still planning for extension. Adopting the semester system
is really going to prove a daunting task for such a large university spread all
over the country. However, if the nation prioritizes education and gives
desirable financial support to the university, TU will definitely move ahead on
the path of achieving academic excellence and will be able to supply capable
manpower to meet the growing challenges of the time.
Since its inception, TU, the state
owned university, has expanded its programmes in different disciplines. There
are 5 technical institutes and 4 general faculties. TU offers profi
certifi level courses only in nursing. It has a wide
range of course offerings in Bachelor’s and Master’s levels. TU offers M. Phil.
and Ph.D. degree in different disciplines both at the Technical Institutes and
Faculty.
TU conducted its programmes only
through its constituent campuses prior to 1980. As the number of the students
willing to acquire higher education was increasing day by day, it was not
possible for the university to accommodate all the
students in the constituent campuses. This situation
led to the establishment of colleges in the private sector. From 1979
–80, TU started providing affiliation to private colleges to conduct various
programmes at different levels. One thousand eighty four (1084)
private colleges spread all over the country have so far
received affiliations from TU.
TU has 7966 teaching faculty and
7230 non- teaching staff including the
support staff in its constituent campuses. The
total number of employees is 15196 including 124 new posts of the Manmohan
Cardiothorasic Centre.
