I think your information is little misguided, In civil and environmental engineering department they admit 16 students each in 5 Majors (Structural/water resource/urban planning/Geotech/Environemtnal Engineering), 84 in Total . That I think is pretty high number as compared to ( TO What??). Add to that the number of scholarship seat that government gives to study abroad. More troubling fact to me is this: "my unscientific survey revealed that almost 25% of those earning master left nepal and migrated to other country" this sometimes makes me think if its money worth spend in education sector.
