Tribhuvan University is all set to open admission forms of master’s level under annual format from January 26, after withdrawing its earlier decision to implement the semester system, following pressure from student unions, in the Valley campuses from this year.

TU said it would issue a public notice in a daily newspapers tomorrow, informing campuses in the Kathmandu Valley to open admission forms under annual format from January 26.

Earlier TU had said it would open admission forms from tomorrow.

“We are going to publish a notice in daily newspapers tomorrow, asking colleges in the Valley to open forms from January 26,” said Bhawana Bajracharya, Chief, Information Division, TU. "Students can submit forms till February 9."

Colleges will also be informed individually to open admission forms, she added. “Tomorrow is Friday, so it is difficult to send circulars to all colleges but by Sunday, it will reach all the colleges,” she said.

Earlier, TU had opened forms under the semester system from December 16, but students had halted form distribution in most of the colleges, demanding that TU postpone its decision of implementing the system, saying that Valley campuses lack infrastructure and human resources.
