Manmohan Technical University was established by the provincial government as a technical higher education institution for Koshi Province. Its development is closely connected with Manmohan Memorial Polytechnic in Budhiganga, Morang.
According to MTU, the Koshi Province Government took over laboratories, workshops, classrooms and other infrastructure associated with Manmohan Memorial Polytechnic as part of establishing the technical university. The university therefore developed from an existing technical-education infrastructure base rather than beginning without prior institutional facilities.
MTU's legal foundation is the Manmohan Technical University Act, 2076 BS. The Act provides the statutory basis for the university within the provincial higher education system. The verified institutional research also identifies MTU as a provincial university established by the Koshi Province Government.
Manmohan Technical University is situated in Budhiganga Rural Municipality of Morang district in Koshi Province, Nepal. Its main institutional address is Budhiganga-4, Morang.
The location places the university within the eastern region of Nepal and within the administrative jurisdiction of Koshi Province. MTU's official institutional description consistently identifies Budhiganga, Morang as its principal location.
Manmohan Technical University operates under a provincial governance model. MTU's institutional description states that the university is managed through a Board of Governors under the Koshi Province framework.
Academic governance is supported by an Academic Council. The published council structure includes:
Vice-Chancellor as Chairperson
Registrar as a member
Two subject experts as members
One representative from an industrial organization as a member
Dean of the School of Engineering as Member-Secretary
Using office-based roles rather than officeholder names keeps the governance description focused on institutional structure. The composition is reflected on MTU's official Academic Council information.
MTU organizes its academic activities through three schools. Each school represents a distinct academic area within the university.
The School of Applied Science, Technology and Law brings together academic fields related to applied studies, technology, management and law within MTU's institutional structure.
The school operates as one of the university's three principal academic units and maintains a separate official website for academic and institutional information.
The School of Engineering is MTU's academic unit for engineering education and related technical disciplines.
Its connection with the university's technical foundation is also reflected in the infrastructure inherited from the earlier technical-education setting at Budhiganga, including laboratories, workshops and classrooms described in MTU's institutional history.
The School of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences represents the university's academic work in medicine-related and allied health disciplines.
It forms the third school in MTU's academic structure and maintains its own official institutional website.
MTU was established with a specific technical-education orientation. Its official introduction describes the university's purpose in terms of developing technical human resources across different levels of education and professional fields.
This institutional focus distinguishes MTU's role from universities built primarily around broad conventional faculties. Its structure combines engineering, applied science, technology, law, medicine and allied health sciences within a provincial technical university framework.
The university's academic organization also reflects an emphasis on linking higher education with technical and professional learning rather than limiting its scope to a single discipline.
Manmohan Memorial Polytechnic forms an important part of MTU's institutional background. MTU states that laboratories, workshops, classrooms and other infrastructure associated with the polytechnic were transferred to the provincial government during the development of the university.
The relationship is therefore relevant to understanding how MTU acquired its initial technical infrastructure and institutional base. It should not, however, be interpreted as meaning that every activity historically associated with the polytechnic automatically forms part of the university's academic structure.
Manmohan Technical University was created within Nepal's provincial governance system, with Koshi Province Government serving as its founding authority. The university's institutional model places technical higher education within the responsibility of the provincial government while maintaining university-level academic and governance structures.
MTU states an intention to develop technical education across Koshi Province through its university structure. This reflects the institution's provincial mandate and its connection with regional technical human-resource development.
Manmohan Technical University offers bachelor’s and master’s programs through its three academic schools. The verified program list includes engineering, pharmacy, law, management, and healthcare management disciplines.
