Bachelor of Business Studies (BBS)

BBS at Kathmandu Model College (KMC Bagbazar), Kathmandu

Bachelor of Business Studies (BBS) at Kathmandu Model College (KMC Bagbazar), Kathmandu is a four-year undergraduate program under Tribhuvan University’s Faculty of Management (FOM), designed to build a broad base in business, economics, and management while gradually developing practical, workplace-ready skills. 

TU frames BBS as a four-year annual system program aimed at preparing graduates to work as competent managers across business, industry, and government.

Program overview

KMC Bagbazar runs the BBS program within TU’s academic structure, so the core curriculum and annual examinations follow TU/FOM requirements. The program begins with foundational subjects (business English, statistics, economics, accounting, management) and moves toward applied areas such as business law, taxation, financial management, strategy, and entrepreneurship.

TU structure you should know

Duration and course load

• Duration: Four academic years (annual system)

• Graduation requirement: Successful completion of 19 courses totaling 1950 marks, plus a Final Project of 50 marks (total 2000).

Teaching days and class hours

TU sets minimum academic requirements such as:

• At least 150 teaching days per academic year (excluding admissions and annual exams)

• A 100-mark paper typically includes 150 lecture sessions (50 minutes each), with additional hours for practical work where applicable

Attendance and exam eligibility

To appear in TU annual exams, TU requires:

• Minimum 70% attendance in classes actually held

• Progression rule: students cannot sit second-year final exams without first appearing in first-year finals

Concentration area in the final year

A major strength of TU’s BBS is the final-year concentration, where students focus on one functional area. TU states FOM offers four streams of concentration courses:

• Accounting

• Finance

• Management

• Marketing

KMC may offer one or more streams depending on faculty and cohort demand, so students should confirm the available concentration options for their intake before final-year selection.

Final Project: what it involves

TU makes the Final Project a required component in the fourth year. Key elements include:

• Fieldwork exposure: students spend four weeks studying/learning from an organization during the time fixed by the campus/college

• Project report + presentation: report submitted in the format prescribed by FOM; students may be asked to present to class/faculty

• Evaluation: by a team of external and internal examiners appointed by the campus/college research committee; viva-voce conducted by the research committee

This is the point in the program where classroom learning is expected to translate into structured inquiry, evidence-based writing, and professional communication.

How students learn

TU encourages campuses to use teaching methods that reflect Nepal’s real business and public-sector environment—combining lectures with:

• group discussions

• problem-solving exercises

• guest lectures

• practical work and project work

• case-based learning where possible

At KMC Bagbazar, students commonly experience learning beyond lecture-only formats (presentations, discussions, project work, and campus engagement), aligned with that TU direction.

Admission: what typically applies at KMC

TU’s curriculum notes that applicants must have completed 10+2 or equivalent from a board/university recognized by TU, and campuses may set additional entry requirements.

KMC’s screening approach (as published)

KMC’s BBS page states that BBS does not require a TU entrance exam, but KMC may conduct presentations and interviews to assess suitability.

(Colleges sometimes also use an internal written test as part of screening; confirm the exact process for the current intake directly with KMC.)

Fees and scholarships (what KMC publishes)

KMC’s published BBS fee outline includes:

• Registration fee: NPR 8,000 (first year)

• Annual fee: NPR 24,000 per year

• Tuition fee: NPR 5,000 per month (12 months)

Because fee policies can change by intake, treat these as reference points and verify before admission.
