KIST College & SS
About
Established in 1995, KIST College — also known as Kathmandu Institute of Science and Technology — carries a three-decade legacy of academic work across science, IT and management. It teaches +2 Science and Management, bachelor programs in BBA, BITM, BIT, BBS and BSc Microbiology, and master's programs in MIT, MBS and MSc Microbiology.
What Tribhuvan University / Purbanchal University affiliation means for you
Tribhuvan University sets the syllabus, conducts the examinations and issues the certificate — the college teaches to a curriculum it does not control. In practice that means two things worth planning around: examination and result timing is decided centrally and has historically been prone to delay, and the qualification is the most widely recognised in Nepal both by employers and by the public service. Fees at TU-affiliated private colleges vary widely for an identical syllabus, so the college you pick changes the cost and the teaching, not the degree.
Ask before you enrol
- Ask how many of the last three intakes finished within the scheduled four years.
- Ask who teaches the practical and project papers, not just the theory papers.
- Confirm which fees go to TU (registration, examination) and which to the college.
Programs offered
Our guides to programs taught here
Bachelor of Business Studies
Students who need to earn while they study, and anyone for whom cost is the deciding factor — BBS is the most affordable recognised bachelor degree in Nepal by a wide margin. It is also the standard qualification behind a large share of Nepal's accounting and banking workforce.
Bachelor of Information Technology Management
Students who want to sit between engineering and business — the business analyst, product owner and IT consultant track. If you like technology but do not want to write code for a living, BITM is the most direct Nepali degree for that.
Bachelor of Information Technology
Students who did not clear the TU or PU computing entrances but are serious about an IT career, and students in eastern Nepal who want to study close to home rather than relocating to Kathmandu.
Facilities
Facility lists are what institutions describe themselves as having. Treat them as a prompt for what to look at on a campus visit rather than as a verified inventory.
