Kathmandu College of Management

Kathmandu College of Management (KCM) was established in 1997 as Nepal's first dedicated business school, pioneering BBA education in the country. Over 29 years, KCM has grown into one of Nepal's most recognized management institutions consistently awarded Best BBA College with a global alumni network spanning 3,000+ graduates across 30+ countries.

KCM's academic programs are awarded by Siam University, Bangkok (est. 1965), a globally accredited Thai university with collaborations across 60+ institutions worldwide. The partnership, active since 2014, enables students to graduate with an internationally recognised degree and spend their 7th semester studying on Siam University's Bangkok campus.

KCM's mission is to balance academic rigour with real-world exposure, developing graduates who are analytically sharp, globally minded, and ready to lead. Its ethos — Explore. Evolve. Excel. — runs through everything from curriculum design to student life.

What sets KCM apart

• Nepal's first BBA college 
  KCM built management education in Nepal from the ground up in 1997 and introduced BBIS (the blend of business and IT) before it became mainstream.
• Internationally awarded degree 
  All programs are awarded by Siam University, Thailand, recognized globally and equivalent to Tribhuvan University as certified by the Ministry of Education and UGC.
• Bangkok semester 
  Every student spends Semester 7 at Siam University's Bangkok campus, studying alongside peers from 100+ countries in one of Asia's most dynamic cities. Credits are fully transferable.
• Student-centred culture 
  The KCM Student Council (active since 2006) gives students real ownership of campus life through four clubs: Sports, Arts & Happiness, Social Welfare, and Career-Tech. Students plan and execute national-level events, including Nepal's Management Symposium and the Basketball Bash.
• Entrepreneurship from Year 1
  The KCM Business Incubation Centre (KBIC) provides mentorship, space, and peer community so students can build real ventures while still in college. Alumni entrepreneurs include the founders of Kimbu Tech, Tigg, CG, and Sunflower Collective.
• KuberWiz 
  A live NEPSE stock trading competition that puts real money on the line, giving Finance & Investment students hands-on capital markets experience unlike any classroom exercise.
• Global exchange options 
  Beyond Bangkok, students can access exchange programs at Macquarie University (Sydney), University of Technology Sydney, Rennes School of Business (France), and Sookmyung Women's University (Seoul).
