Job Prospects

The BBA-Finance (BBA-F) programme is an industry-focused curriculum specifically tailored to the finance sector, which stands as a rapidly growing industry in Nepal. This growth is strongly expected to maintain its pace in the foreseeable future. The banking industry, in particular, has been expanding at a fast rate in terms of total business volume, branch networks, and employment generation; a trajectory that is anticipated to continue moving forward.

Beyond banking, several other financial sectors are experiencing significant expansion. The insurance sector is on the rise, while the capital market is increasing in both depth and breadth. In recent years, the secondary market has seen an enormous surge in the volume of securities traded. Concurrently, the primary market grows every single year, accompanied by the steady entry of new investment companies and mutual funds.

Furthermore, Nepal houses more than 10,000 microfinance institutions and finance cooperatives, all of which are in constant need of skilled manpower. On a broader governance level, the country's federal structure has established 753 local government bodies, which actively require skilled finance professionals to manage local economic operations. Taken together, all of these indicators provide clear evidence of ample employment opportunities and a wide scope for BBA-F graduates across Nepal's financial landscape.
