Overview
Tribhuvan University (TU), based in Kirtipur, Kathmandu, is Nepal's oldest and largest university. It is organised into constituent institutes and faculties rather than a single central admissions exam: the Institute of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, Institute of Science and Technology, Institute of Forestry, and Institute of Agriculture and Animal Sciences, alongside the Faculty of Management, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Faculty of Education, and Faculty of Law, plus specialised units such as the School of Mathematical Science and the Graduate School of Education.
Who can apply
Entry requirements and any entrance test depend on the specific institute or faculty and programme a student is applying to; TU's central site does not set out one common admission procedure for all programmes.
