In 2001, I went to see Vice Chancler of Pokhara University and had a chance to meet to Registrar and other deans of some schools. Well, Nepal's first private engineering college run by Mr. Deepak Bhattarai and company is also incorporated under PU. Pokhara University at that time had 26 colleges and one of them where I was taken on a Tour (as a compliment of being faculty at a Jap. Univ and also being interested in joing Pokhara Univ. as a facutly..... and also being a guy from Pokhara). I can say confidently that Pokhara University at that was in 3-4th year of operation. I remember the situation of Kathmandu University in 1994, when I went to meet Prof. Sharma and his deputy Dr. Bhattarai at Lazimpat office. Comparing these two universities' early stages, I can tell that Pokhara University will also flourish one day (with 10years as KU did it in last 10years). Pokhara University has about 200 ropani land and .... so its not that bad univ. as you look skeptical. Forget about having website of a univ in developing country. IF you need you can find information on it via http://www.pokharacity.com/ or if you would like to talk to faculties of PU, some of like minded teachers in PU have started a discussion forum at Google beta group.com. Check http://groups-beta.google.com/group/PokharaUniversity/ As long as Nepal Engineering College's students are concerned they are competent enough and above average the worlds technical universities. I guess your univ has some other criteria that can determine where a particular student falls e.g. GRE in USA. Good Luck. GP Good Luck.
