Under secretary at the higher education section at MoE Laxman Khanal said once all colleges follow the rule, they would have more scholarship quota, adding “About a dozen quotas in Engineering and Nursing are sure to be added in the basket for the next academic session.”
“We have recently directed all private university officials to provide the mandatory scholarship to MoE,” informed Mahashram Sharma, joint secretary at MoE.
He added that Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences and Purbanchal University affiliated colleges are yet to offer scholarships as per the agreement.
