The Rector's Office and Curriculum Development Center of Tribhuvan University, located in Kirtipur, have issued an important notification concerning the equivalence and recognition of academic degrees. The notification outlines guidelines for the acknowledgment of degrees conferred by the university and aims to clarify the parameters for both recognized equivalence and general recognition.
Degree Recognition Guidelines:
- Degrees obtained through traditional on-campus programs, meeting entry qualifications, stipulated course duration, and full course loads, are granted full equivalence to corresponding degrees directly offered by Tribhuvan University.
- Degrees acquired through alternative educational modalities such as open and distance learning or private studies, without a formalized curriculum, are acknowledged with recognition status and deemed valid for employment and further education, albeit not meeting the criteria for full equivalence.
- Degrees not strictly adhering to conventional duration of study or acquired through less traditional paths like open, distance, or private modes are conditionally recognized and valid but with acceptance limited to contexts where the exact academic program is not offered at Tribhuvan University.
The purpose of this notification is to inform governmental and non-governmental organizations, service providers, and degree holders about the specific conditions under which Tribhuvan University degrees are recognized and considered equivalent.
Degree holders are urged to understand the distinctions between full equivalence, recognition only, and conditional recognition when presenting their qualifications to potential employers or educational institutions. They are also urged to refer to official university guidelines for clarification.
With a commitment to maintaining high academic standards and integrity, Tribhuvan University's notification provides transparency in the recognition status of degrees obtained through various study modes, aiding stakeholders in properly assessing qualifications. For further details, stakeholders must visit the official website or contact the Curriculum Development Center directly.
