  • Education Management Information System
    EDUCATION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM REPORT ON HIGHER EDUCATION 2018/19 AD (2075/76 B.S.) NEPAL UNIVERSITY GRANTS COMMISSION FOREWORD igher education is the key to the overall development of a country such as Nepal whose population is passing through a demographic transition. Currently, a total of 11 Huniversities, four health academies and 1432 higher education institutions associated (constituent or affiliated) with them are providing mainstream higher education in the country. However, on the one hand, providing access of higher education to the increased number of eligible population still remains a challenge, while on the other hand the quality of higher education and its relevance to market and national priority has been a concern. In the meantime, planners, policy makers and researchers need timely and relevant data in order to meet the challenge faced in their respective sectors. One of the important tasks of University Grants Commission (UGC), Nepal is the development of Higher Education Information System (HEMIS) and publication of its annual EMIS report. This publication is twelfth in its series of HEMIS report published by UGC. The data and information presented in this report provide several information like: number of students studying in each province, faculty, level of education; distribution of campuses of universities in each province; programs of faculties taught in each province; trend of student enrollment in each faculty and many more. All these information are of utmost importance for improving access and enhancing the quality of higher education by supporting stakeholders in making informed decisions and criteria based allocation of resources. A comprehensive and coordinated HEMIS is of utmost importance for the country and UGC is making its effort towards this.

Apart from a range of benefits and prospects from adopting and implementing the Quality Assurance and Accreditation (QAA) system within TU, it has been facing a number of challenges in maintaining quality in its higher education institutions. In return, the implementation of the system can create a number of opportunities, particularly it has to internationalize its higher education and show a strong presence in the world university rankings. In order to meet this objective, the study has used a descriptive-analytical approach to find out the issues related to quality assurance in higher education institutions. Finally, the paper has made important policy implications and recommendations to support the ongoing efforts of UGC, Nepal and maintain and ensure quality in higher education institutions of TU. Keywords: Accreditation, higher education, quality assurance, world university rankings Introduction: Where Does TU Stand Now?

    Mid-Western University, Faculty of Management Birendranagar, Surkhet, Nepal Master’s Degree Thesis Research and Graduate Research Project (GRP) Writing Guidelines 2020 Office of the Dean Faculty of Management, Mid-Western University Birendranagar, Surkhet, Nepal Applicable from January, 2020 MWU-FOM Master’s Degree Thesis/GRP Report Writing Guidelines 2020 Page 1 A. PREAMBLE Thesis Research or Graduate Research Project (GRP) is an integral component of Master of Business Studies (MBS) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs at Mid-Western University (MWU). As a mandatory provision, each student pursuing a master’s degree academic program has to design and undertake a systematic and scientific inquiry-based research project with approval of the Research Committee. Graduate research writing being a part of purely academic writing, it needs be accomplished by applying a uniform standard across the projects. These guidelines intend to provide with technical instructions and procedures for the students as well as research supervisors of the different academic programs under Faculty of Management and Mid-Western University. The Thesis Research or GRP involves conceptualizing and designing a research, obtaining departmental approval, fielding the research, performing data reduction and analyses, writing a report and making a formal presentation to the respective Research Committee. Thus, the Thesis Research project as a whole, aims to develop knowledge, skill competence and attitude (KSA) necessary to initiate individual research and gain a mastery of problem identification, designing instruments for collecting data, performing data reduction and information analyses, producing policy level and managerial implications for evidence-based, effective decision-making. A Master’s Degree Thesis Research or GRP Report work should involve depth analyses of the problem or issue, followed by extensive research or investigation on it before producing grounded evidence-based conclusions and implications for continued action.
