Kathmandu University is going downhill for some time in the foreseeable future. KUMS is even worse. The only bright hope is there are few budding talents and provided they remain in KU and KUMS and are given proper opportunity; might be able to rescue the situation. Paradoxically, KU & KUMS might get worse before getting better because the Cronies of Dr. Ram Kantha Makaju Shrestha and Dr. Nastu Sharma are worse than the present VC and registrar.
