After the

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.

Academic
Programmes
In the
55th year of its establishment, the university family remains committed and
dedicated to making the university 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. This year, the Tribhuvan university has
made a decision to start semester system at the Central Departments. All the
departments, except the Central Department of Law, have already started first
semester classes. This systemic change has been introduced to enforce an
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 rigour, 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.
From the
forthcoming academic session, the university will extend the semester system
outside the central departments. This 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 programes
indifferent disciplines. There are 5 technical institutes and 4 general
faculties. TU offers proficiency certificate 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 phd. degree in different disciplines both at the Technical
Institutes and Faculties.
TU ran
its programes 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 programes at different
levels. One thousand fifty three (1053) private colleges spread all over the
country have so far received affiliations
from TU.
In the
current academic session (2014-2015) altogether 4,05,341 students have been
enrolled at various levels of TU academic Programmers. 1,48,141 (36.55%)
students study in its 60 constituent campuses including 38 central departments,
while 2,57,200 (63.45%) students study in 1053 affiliated colleges. It clearly
reveals that affiliated colleges do have more students than the constituent
campuses.
