Saritathapa ji, Let me add my 2 cents too. I went KU ane TU as well. I know there is more politics in TU than education. But what I have experienced is different than you thought. In TU, you need to work hard to pass the exams but in KU. If you are a son/daughter of some powerful persanality, then no need to worry about being failed. All you need to do is show up to take the test. Dinesh Raj Joshi was one of them. If there is some quality of eduction in KU, that is due to young lecturer not the management. This is the truth. I will give an example how KU works. There was a guy named Narayan Adhikary, he was the chief administrator, but later VC sharma appointed his brother Mukunda as the chief administrator and Narayan was assigned to work as a PA to VC in KUSOM ( lalitpur). Poor Narayan! such things happens not only in adminstration, also in academic part too. Getting paid study leave, promotions, getting scholarship every thing depends on hw close you are with the VC and Registrar.
