Kathmandu, January 5
For the first time of its kind, the government is appointing a vice-chancellor of the Tribhuvan University (TU) through open competition.
In a notice issued on Friday, the Committee Formed to Select and Recommend the Vice-Chancellor of Tribhuvan University has invited applications from qualified individuals for the open competition.
Prior to this, Prime Minister and Chancellor of Tribhuvan University, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, declared that the VC of the university would be appointed solely on merit, putting an end to political appointments in the nation’s largest and oldest university.
The announcement from the recommendation committee aligns with the prime minister’s commitment to appoint the VC based on meritocracy. In this process, the qualifications, experiences, concept paper, and four-year-long plan of action submitted by the applicants will be thoroughly considered for the VC appointment.
