The story

Named after the late King Tribhuvan, Tribhuvan University was established on 25 June 1959 (11 Ashar 2016 BS). It is the oldest and largest university in Nepal. In its early years, all the postgraduate classes were held at Tripureshwor Campus, where the administrative office was also located. It was only in 1967 that the university was relocated to its main campus in Kirtipur – an ancient town about 5 km south-west of the city of Kathmandu. The university site, spread over 154.77 hectares, constitutes the Central Administrative Office and the Central Campus.
