Biratnagar to Launch 3-Year LLB Program for the First Time

Biratnagar. For the first time, a three-year Bachelor of Laws (LLB) program will be offered in Biratnagar, the capital of Koshi Province. The Degree Campus, Biratnagar, under Tribhuvan University (TU), is set to launch this course starting from the upcoming academic session.

Pritam Sah, President of the Free Student Union (FSU), stated that after persistent efforts and effective advocacy, the campus has received historic approval from TU to operate the Faculty of Law. With this, the Degree Campus, Biratnagar, has become the only campus under TU in the region to offer an LLB program.

The Dean's Office of the Faculty of Law at Tribhuvan University (Balkhu) has already published the notice regarding the entrance examination for the first year of LLB for the academic session 2082/083. According to the Dean's office, a capacity of 300 seats has been allocated for the Degree Campus, Biratnagar. Students interested in studying law can fill out the entrance examination application form online starting from Chaitra 30.

Students had been lobbying for a long time with the university and stakeholders to secure opportunities for legal studies in Biratnagar. Expressing happiness over the success of their efforts, President Sah said, 'This is not just the start of a new course, but a major door of opportunity opening for students in Biratnagar and the entire province. Our continuous efforts, centered on the demands and needs of the students, have been successful today.'

The campus has announced that it has completed all necessary arrangements for physical infrastructure and academic personnel to operate the law faculty. Campus Chief Dhak Bahadur Magar described this as an educational achievement for the entire Koshi Province. Campus Chief Magar said, 'It is a matter of great joy that legal education is being launched in Biratnagar. The compulsion to travel to Kathmandu or Dharan at great expense just to study law has now ended. We are fully prepared to provide quality education.'

Similarly, Ram Pokharel, President of the TU Professors' Association (Campus Unit), stated that the new academic program has made things easier for both parents and students, both financially and practically. 

He added, 'Being able to study such an important subject in one's own locality is a significant achievement. The campus administration and professors are fully committed to quality teaching.'
