TU reverts to old annual system
1. TU reverts to old annual system
Tribhuvan University today opened admission forms for master’s level in different faculties
under the old annual system.
Students can fill forms till February 10 and classes will begin from February 11, according to
TU.
But not many students today approached colleges to fill forms, largely due to ongoing winter
vacation.
Rudra Poudel, Campus Chief, Ratna Rajya Campus, said that very few students came to the
college to collect forms.
Ram Hari Bhattarai, an official of the examination section of Ratna Rajya College, said 12
students collected admission forms from the college administration today. The college
administration, however, remains opens even during winter vacation.
Admission under annual format was opened after TU decided to withdraw its earlier decision to
implement the semester system in Valley campuses following pressure from student unions.
TU had even opened admission forms under semester system in December, aiming to start
classes under the semester system from January. Protesting student unions then had halted form
distribution, saying TU should not run classes under semester system now because ‘Valley
campuses lacked proper infrastructure and resources’.
After various rounds of talks, TU then had decided to shelve its semester system plan and
decided to open forms. Earlier, it had said it would open admission forms under the old annual
system on January 23, but later again it fixed the date for opening forms as January 26.
Students can collect their admission forms by paying Rs 250. Admission fee is yet to be fixed,
said Bhattarai.
He said that the students collected admission form by paying Rs 250 while the admission fee had
not been finalised yet.
“Last year the admission fee for Master’s in English was Rs 8,400. As per an agreement reached
with the students earlier, the college administration can increase the fee by 10 per cent every
year. The accounts section and the administration will finalise fee structure soon,” he added.
Private Colleges affiliated to TU, however, are not happy with the decision to shelve the
semester system plan. They say they are well-equipped to run master’s classes under the
semester system. But with TU making it clear that classes will run under the old annual format,
they are left with no option then to go by the TU decision. “We have no other option than to
follow TU’s calendar,” said Rajendra KC, coordinator of Private College Association of Nepal.
