ABOUT US

Understanding the need for quality management education in Nepal, Kathmandu College of Management was established in 1997 as the first institution to introduce the BBA program. At the time, the growing business prospects in the country created a demand for young minds to comprehend the corporate sector from a global perspective. The college's mission, therefore, has been to instill academic rigor in its students, preparing them to meet challenges and seize opportunities in the international arena.

With this vision in mind, KCM strives to create a stimulating environment through its courses, faculty, and resources. Its focus has been on producing management graduates who can effectively contribute to the world of business while realizing their full potential. KCM envisions its alumni as informed, competent, creative, and confident individuals, ready to tackle the challenges of a diverse and dynamic world.

Students First

"Students Come First" is the idea behind everything we do at KCM. In every event or activity of the college, students are the focus point. Talk to any of the college staff or meet any of our faculty, the utmost importance of students for overall success of the college and its programs becomes obvious.

In every curricular and co-curricular matter, teamwork among students, faculty, faculty and students, and faculty and management is very crucial part of KCM culture. The great emphasis on teamwork has significantly contributed to making our programs highly effective.

Learning by Doing

Students learn effectively by doing. In every subject, students get ample opportunities to learn through involvement in several assignments, projects, papers, presentations and cases that add value to the learning process.

Students' Initiatives

The very first lesson students get at KCM is to take initiative. Whether it is an academic matter or co-curricular activities, the stress is on their own initiatives. Their own initiatives facilitated by faculty and management create an environment that stimulates learning at KCM.
