Lincoln International College

What Lincoln International College does

Lincoln International College (LIC) is a private higher education institution headquartered in Kathmandu, Nepal, operating as an affiliated campus of Lincoln University College Malaysia. Founded in 2014, the college delivers six internationally recognized degree programs: Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Computer Science (MCS), Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT), Bachelor of Computer Science in Cyber Security & Network Technology (BCS CSNT), and Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Hospitality Management (BHM). All programs are accredited by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA), approved by Nepal's Ministry of Education, and hold Tribhuvan University equivalence. The college also inherited brand credibility from its parent university, ranked #185 in QS Asia University Rankings 2025 and #47 in QS South-Eastern Asia.

The college's commercial model is tuition-driven, with individual program fees ranging from NPR 560,000 (MBA, MCS) to NPR 900,000 (BBA, BIT, BHM, BCS CSNT), payable in installments. Approximately 10% of enrolled students receive scholarships based on merit, sports, community standing, or academic excellence, which reduces revenue collection. The underlying technology stack is standard educational infrastructure: computer labs across every building, campus-wide Wi-Fi, a web-based library management system, online registration portal, technology-enabled classrooms, and 24/7 CCTV surveillance. The college does not publish revenue figures, headcount, or financial performance metrics.

LIC's go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, with prospective students engaging through on-campus counselling, online registration, structured admission processes (computer-based exams, group discussions, interviews), and recurring student events such as the Career Melato career fair (in partnership with Reach HR Solutions), AI Bootcamps, and Convocation Ceremonies. Primary customer segments are undergraduate +2-completers and bachelor's-degree holders seeking graduate qualifications, with secondary segments in working professionals and international students. The college maintains a dedicated Career Services Department and reports graduate placements into Nepal Telecom, Ncell, and commercial banks. Leadership comprises Chairman Dinesh Chandra Nakarmi, CEO Nabin Maharjan, and Principal Satyendra Upreti, supported by program-level academic directors.
