Nepal College of Management

What Nepal College of Management does

Nepal College of Management (NCM) is a non-profit undergraduate business school established in August 1999, promoted by Gurukul Education Foundation and formally affiliated with Kathmandu University. It operates from a single campus at Dhobighat, Lalitpur, Nepal, on a 5-ropani site with approximately 560 sq. meters of built-up area housing BBA and BHM blocks, computer labs, library, cafeteria, and a dedicated BHM practical training block (kitchens, bakery, restaurant, guest rooms). The institution serves Nepali and non-Nepali students who have completed 10+2 or equivalent education, and offers three four-year Kathmandu University-affiliated programs: BBA (120 credit hours, total fee NPR 7,30,000), BHM (132 credit hours including a mandatory 6-month internship, total fee NPR 6,50,000), and BBIS (141 credit hours, an interdisciplinary IT-business degree). Admissions require the KUUMAT entrance examination, for which NCM provides free preparation classes, and the institution runs a GPA-based scholarship scheme offering 20-100% tuition waivers.

Revenue is generated through tuition fees billed on a semester/annual subscription cadence, with structured admission, annual, and per-semester installments. The GTM motion is direct-to-consumer: prospective students engage via the ncm.edu.np website, Edusanjal platform, news announcements, and on-campus enrollment. The BHM program is differentiated by an ecosystem of 50+ industry partnerships with luxury hotels, resorts, and airlines (Hyatt, Soaltee Crowne Plaza, Qatar Airways, Bvlgari Resort Dubai, Aloft Kathmandu) that host mandatory internships and provide placement pipelines. Technology infrastructure comprises a third-party eSchool LMS, electronic library systems, smart board-enabled classrooms, Pentium i5 computer laboratories, and Wi-Fi campus coverage. The institution also publishes the IRJMS double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal (ISSN registered, integrated with NepJOL), which has released 9 volumes since its 2016 launch.
