Currently, eleven universities are running in Nepal out of which six universities are accredited. All of them have something to offer and are striving to make a strong presence in the market. However, among them, Tribhuvan University and Kathmandu University have managed to create a great impact on the mind of both students and parents. Most of them seem to give priority to the TU and KU.

The reason behind the Nepalese student’s inclination towards the TU and KU can be the quality of education and exposure. TU is the first and oldest university in Nepal, thus it has already created a name for itself and has maintained a good position in the market. KU with its advanced programs and modern teaching techniques have proved itself as one of the best education providers in Nepal.

Moreover, it may be because of the need of the students and parents. I am saying this because, if you see only education keeping every other factor aside, every university and college are offering same programs, the course of study and the level of education, even the same professors teach in the most of the colleges. So the only thing that left is teaching pedagogy, discipline and exposure and the opportunities provided by the university or college.

For example, the first name that comes in student’s mind who is intending to pursue engineering is Pulchowk Engineering College. It’s because it is considered to be the best colleges in South Asia. Likewise, IOM is the first choice of students willing to pursue Medicine or MBBS program. This is because; these colleges have proved their worth and the students who graduate through these institutions are highly regarded which make them easy to find the job.

Likewise, Each and every program offered at the Kathmandu University is created after deep analysis. The university has always garnered positive reviews from the day of establishment. It has adopted world-class teaching techniques and rules and regulations are followed strictly. Politics is strictly banned.

Another main reason for these universities being everyone’s first choice is they held exams in time and students are encouraged to do the research on their own rather than limiting them to the classroom learning.

Though these universities are number one choice of students, they too lack in lots of areas. In fact, all most all of the educational institutions lack in one thing or another. Some of the most common problems are protested, padlocking, overstaffing, resistance to change and resource crunch. However, the scenario is changing and hopefully, our educational institutions will be able to provide world class education without any problem in the coming days.

Whereas Bachelor of Travel and Tourism management focuses on equipping students with the knowledge of travel and tourism industries and its operations. Graduates with this degree are capable of planning and managing trek, tour, rafting air ticketing and so on.
Since both of these subjects are different from each other, both of them have their own importance. Thus, saying one is superior to another won’t be justifiable.
No, Hotel Management does not fall under Travel and Tourism Managment.
Nowadays all most all the colleges that are running Hotel Mangement or BTTM program provide abroad internship opportunities, usually a paid internship but not compulsory.

[Suju Bhattarai]

BBA is better or BBS is better
Somehow it’s true that here in Nepal, people think that BBA is better than BBS. Due to the rigorous curriculum taught in BBA and the teaching method, BBA always had an upper hand. But, the scenario is changing. Now TU has started 4 years BBS program which is believed to have a more comprehensive curriculum and is designed to provide students with both theoretical and practical knowledge.
BBA gets priority because BBA program focuses on providing students with practical skills but it won’t be an issue if you do an internship or part-time job before applying for the full-time job. No matter what you have studied, at the end your capability to work counts. So prepare yourself for that.
Talking about BBA students are prioritize while hiring in the bank, at the end of the semester BBA students should do an internship and most of the student do internship in banks, thus they have experience beforehand. So if you want to get a job in the bank sector, you can do an internship before applying for the job which enhances the chances of you being selected. If you have good grades and skills, you don’t have to worry about not getting a job just because you have BBS degree.
Finding a job before moving to Kathmandu can be very tricky, you won’t find a job sitting at home, you might get to apply for the post via internet but you have to face the interview before being hired. So, it would be wise to carry the essentials and some money before coming to Kathmandu. Finding a job, mostly entry level, to support your daily expenses is not that difficult. You may even get chance to work as a senior accountant is some small firm, but you need to have some experience if you want to work for well-known organizations.

[Suju Bhattarai]

If you have majored in finance or have studied management you are equipped with the knowledge of finance, commerce industry, and accountancy practices, apart from this, you will have knowledge of business organizations, good communication skill, analytical skill and so on.
Graduated with this degree can find job in both small and large, public or private sectors such as accountancy firms, public sector, management consultancies, insurance companies, investment banks, building societies where they can work as stockbrokers, forensic accountant, company secretary, chartered accountant, chartered certified accountant, chartered public finance accountant, chartered management accountant. In addition to this, there are other career options such as Tax advisor, purchasing manager, management consultant, economist, licensed conveyancer etc.
However, just having degree might not be sufficient to find a job in high renowned organizations. It would be wise to work part-time in small firms in order to gain experience. Since you will be handling the huge budgets, an employer would like to be sure if you are skilled enough to work with them.
