Administration
Padam Lal Devekota was appointed as the first vice chancellor. He served the university for about two years before leaving after some controversy. With the recent appointment of Kali Prasad Pandey as the second vice chancellor and Dr. Mahendra Lumar Malla as registrar, the university is fully functional. Admission for the streams has been started. The vice chancellor is the highest-ranking executive at the university because the chancellor of universities in Nepal is the prime minister.
