In this video, Mr. Purushottam Maharjan, Campus Chief of St. Lawrence College, introduces the institution’s diverse academic offerings and its commitment to producing skilled human resources. Established in 2054 B.S. and affiliated with Tribhuvan University (TU), the college provides a comprehensive educational track ranging from Montessori to Master’s levels. At the undergraduate level, the college offers specialized programs including BSc CSIT, BCA, BBS, and BSW with a major in Psychology, alongside a Master of Business Studies (MBS) program. Operating across multiple blocks in Kathmandu, including Gauri Nagar and Chuchepati, the institution focuses on a holistic approach encapsulated by its motto, "Your Success, Our Commitment."
The curriculum at St. Lawrence is designed to bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world application through various non-credit, skill-based courses. In the IT department, students benefit from a market-driven approach featuring mentors from top IT companies, AI boot camps, and active participation in hackathons and "Idea Thons" led by the student-run IT Club. Management students undergo training in leadership, communication, and accounting software like Tally, while BSW students engage in community service through health camps and urban-rural field placements. To maintain high academic standards, the college utilizes an Internal Quality Assurance Committee (IQAC), a Research Management Committee (RMC) for faculty and student publications, and an advanced EMIS for streamlined information management.
Admission to these programs is merit-based, requiring students to pass the TU entrance examination and meet specific grade criteria from their secondary education, such as a minimum "C" grade or 2.0 GPA depending on the faculty. St. Lawrence College maintains a moderate fee structure and offers an extensive scholarship program, including merit-based awards for entrance performers and semester toppers to ensure that talented students are not deprived of quality education. Mr. Maharjan concludes by inviting recent graduates to visit the campus, emphasizing that the college management team is prepared to act as a supportive "charioteer" (Sarathi) in helping students transform their professional dreams into reality.
