ADMINISTRATION

Kathmandu University is governed by policies laid down by the University's Senate which is its apex body. The Senate has the Prime Minister as its Chairperson. Representatives from Parliament and Industry, Mayors of Banepa and Dhulikhel Municipalities, academics, donors, concerned government officials, Vice Chancellor, Registrar and Deans of the University, faculty and students representatives and librarian are members of the Senate.

The Executive Council headed by the Vice Chancellor is responsible for carrying out policy decisions taken by the Senate. A Board of Trustees assists the Executive Council, providing continuity in decision making over a period of time. An Academic Council functions as a focal body in matters of educational and academic concerns. This body determines the quality of study and teaching, curriculum matters, the standard and types of examinations, methods of evaluation, teaching materials, number and qualification for the admission of students. Its primary responsibility is to safeguard the overall quality of education at Kathmandu University. The university, in line with its mission and policy, operates by setting up Schools of different faculty, each functioning autonomously under the aegis of the university. Each School has a faculty board to function under the supervision of the Academic Council. The Faculty Board of each School is responsible for approving its educational and academic programs. There are different subject committees under the faculty board to recommend the curriculum of the programs and the changes.
