Program Highlights

College: Kathmandu Model College (KMC Bagbazar), Bagbazar, Kathmandu

University/Faculty: Tribhuvan University, Faculty of Management

Duration: Four years, eight semesters

Total workload: One hundred twenty credit hours )

Teaching approach (TU): Student-centered learning through interactive lectures, presentations, case studies, and projects

What the BBM program is designed to build

TU’s BBM curriculum frames business education around practical management capability and entrepreneurship. It aims to help students:

• develop creative thinking, leadership, communication, and decision-making skills

• understand entrepreneurship and innovation, and manage business operations in a dynamic environment

• prepare for professional life as business managers and entrepreneurs

In practice, this means your learning is not limited to theory. The course structure expects regular classroom engagement (presentations, group work, case analysis, and project tasks), which is also reflected in TU’s evaluation model.

Teaching, seminar, and practicum expectations

TU states that BBM uses a student-centered pedagogy, with the instructor selecting methods appropriate to each course (interactive lectures, presentations, case studies, and projects).

The curriculum also allows seminar and practicum components to be conducted based on Faculty of Management guidelines and evaluation criteria.

For students, the practical takeaway is clear: you should expect consistent participation, not only end-term exam preparation.

Project report writing or internship

TU’s BBM curriculum requires a capstone at the end of the eighth semester. Students either:

• complete a research assignment and submit a Research Project Report (supervised by a faculty member), or

• complete an internship attachment (eight weeks) and submit an internship/project report in the prescribed format.

Project report evaluation:

• Written report: seventy percent

• Presentation: thirty percent

Internship evaluation:

• Organizational evaluation: twenty-five percent

• Written report: fifty percent

• Presentation: twenty-five percent

TU also notes that the internship carries weight equivalent to six credit hours, and the report must be submitted by the end of the eighth semester.

Attendance, assessment, and exam readiness expectations

TU’s BBM curriculum sets an attendance threshold: students who fail to attend eighty percent of classes are not allowed to appear in semester-end examinations.

Assessment is described as a mix of:

• in-semester (internal) evaluation, generally forty percent

• semester-end examination, sixty percent

The curriculum also explains that internal evaluation includes classroom activities and project/assignment work (and related components defined in the document).
Because TU documents sometimes list multiple eligibility thresholds for appearing in semester exams (based on internal performance), students should follow the current Faculty of Management guidance used by their college for the exact internal requirements in practice.

Eligibility and admission process (TU CMAT route)

Minimum academic eligibility (TU BBM curriculum):

Applicants must have completed twelve-year schooling (or equivalent) recognized by TU, and must meet minimum grade/division requirements (including D+ in each subject in grade eleven and twelve with CGPA one point eight or above, or second division in ten plus two/PCL/equivalent), along with completing the application procedure.

Entrance test:
Eligible applicants must sit for the Central Management Admission Test (CMAT) conducted by TU Faculty of Management.

CMAT format (as stated in the BBM curriculum):

• one hundred objective questions

• four areas: verbal ability, quantitative ability, logical reasoning, general awareness

• twenty-five questions per section, total one hundred marks

CMAT threshold for interview:

TU’s BBM curriculum states students must secure a minimum of forty percent in CMAT to qualify for the interview.

What KMC Bagbazar adds around the TU BBM framework

KMC Bagbazar positions its learning environment around facilities and student-support units intended to connect coursework with skill-building and career preparation.

• Career Counseling, Placement & Tracing Cell (CPTC): KMC describes this unit as providing academic, career, and psycho-social counseling, tracking graduates, and supporting job placement and self-employment readiness.

• Research Management Cell (RMC): KMC describes an RMC that supports research culture through research projects, workshops, and fieldwork-related support.

• Student Quality Circle (SQC): KMC describes student-led small groups that meet weekly to discuss educational quality concerns and solutions.

• Learning resources and facilities: KMC lists resources such as library access, labs, classrooms, Wi-Fi and IT services including a Learning Management System and an electronic management information system, plus incubation/ideation lab and seminar/auditorium spaces.

These structures matter for BBM students because TU’s pedagogy and evaluation already emphasize active learning, communication, teamwork, and applied problem-solving—not only final exams.

Scholarships (what KMC publicly states)

KMC states that it provides scholarships based on merit, financial need, or program-specific criteria, and advises students to check eligibility criteria and consult the admission office for details.

KMC’s BBM-related page also publishes examples of scholarship provisions (such as support tied to academic performance, including recognition for university toppers and high GPA performers), but students should confirm the currently active scheme and terms with the college for their intake year.
