Which is the best campus of Nepal? They keep on asking edusanjal....
This is a very easy questions, but very tough to answer. How can you judge the performance of a college? Based on graduation rate or success of its students or facilities of the colleges or performance of students on various extracurricular activities?
Students and guardians are always eager to know the answers so that they can get enroll in the top performing School/College. But the answer is not that much easy as the nature of programs run by colleges differs a set of criteria used to Judge College’s performance may not apply to all colleges. It is always easy to compare one Engineering college with another, one Business Schools with another and so on but how to compare a Engineering college with multidisciplinary college which offers social science programs like BSW, MSW, Nepali, Political Science, Rural development etc?
Whatever be the complexity within few months you will be able to know the best colleges of Nepal as University Grant Commission (UGC) is going to select the colleges soon.
