Life in Kathmandu University

Vijay Dashami and Dashain Vacation

2012-10-11T14:59:00.000+05:30

Dashain is approaching and we are all ready to celebrate it to the fullest. Enough talks are there around KU regarding the Dashain Vacation this year. We had come to know that KU will be giving a month's vacation including both Dashain and Deepawali this year. Though, with the results published recently, everyone knows that the classes will run between the festivals.

Though KU is scheduled to be closed from coming Monday, students are already moving to their homes- esp. those who belong to farther places. It can be assumed that classes of coming Sunday and Monday would not be conducted properly as many students have already planned their departure tomorrow or on Saturday.

Anyways, I wish all the students, teachers and everyone here at KU a Happy Vijaya Dashami. Good Luck and Best Wishes.

Blood donation programme organized by KUYRCC

2012-10-11T14:40:00.000+05:30

Today, Kathmandu University Youth Red Cross Circle (KUYRCC) has organized a blood donation program. The program formally started at 10am and continued until 4pm. Total of 204 students donated blood in the programme. The programme was conducted in the CV Raman Dining Hall, Kathmandu University, Dhulikhel.

Even before the programme started there was a huge mass of students, eagerly waiting for the Remote Blood Collection Van of Red Cross Society. I was glad to see so many students ready to volunteer for organizing the programme with ease.

KUYRCC had a target of 200 blood donors for today's programme. The target was easily fulfilled. Thanks to the students of Pharmacy department, and all the volunteer students.

Results of 1st year 2nd Semester (2011 batch) Published

2012-10-08T16:26:00.001+05:30

Today, the results for Results of 1st year 2nd Semester (2011 batch) has been published by Examination Controller of Kathmandu University.

Like always, with the results published many of the students seem unhappy; they have been seen crushing the life in KU. The results were quite surprising, as many of the students who had not expected to fail have failed. Few students have come to a point where they will have to re-join KU with the students of 2011 batch, repeating the 2nd semester starting this fall.

Lucky first year students...

Well, my latest post was about the reasons that can make you think twice before taking a decision to join Kathmandu University. Yes, at the time I wrote that post, the notice on the board outside the KUCL was not there. The notice, a it is pasted there, makes everyone looking at it happy. The notice is about agreement signed by Kathmandu University and Students' Union a few days ago, and I would pretend that I don't have any further details about when, where and how the agreements were made. What I was delighted to see were 5, 6 points which were directly beneficial to the students.

So, first year students joining Kathmandu University will be the luckier people. Not interested? Well... ok! There's a (x) button over there, on the top of the window. Click there! Have a good day!

So, what were the points that made me write it?

Are you ready? Don't Join KU! if...

Kathmandu University is the first choice of many students who want a University Degree in some technical fields. Kathmandu University is well known for its quality of education, trained and skilled educators and interactive way of teaching-learning procedures. The infrastructures, though not sufficient if everyone wants each of those stuffs ;) , are well enough for students. They talk about projects, labs, practicals, field visits, surveys, etc

Talks around KU

2011-07-30T21:02:00.000+05:30

I was in front of the library at 7:30 this morning; I didn't realize that today is Saturday- days pass so quickly while exams are running- just like a dream! I had nowhere to go and couldn't set up my mood with a 3 kg 'Calculus book by Thomas'. I sat down among the benches, kept there as information booths. I started thinking about what people talk about in KU. What are the most commonly used phrases? Of course, this cannot be generalized but I could figure it out.

Kathmandu University and Facebook! Facebook?

2011-07-29T16:38:00.000+05:30

Everyday when I enter the library I usually see four of the computers online there, one computer (an exception) is seen with python codes on the screen. Out of those four computers at least three have facebook opened as current tab or it's opened in another! Though not as strong as you in Mathematics, I calculated the percentage ratio of facebook and other websites. It was 300%.

Kathmandu University- As a Friend!

2011-07-29T14:23:00.005+05:30

Many people come in my life, and they come in yours too. Some never meet you though they influence you and some do not even they are always around. Some people insist to be friends with you when you are afraid of something unknown and some never accept your request for friendship. Kathmandu University, a very good friend of mine, is making new friends this summer. I am glad to see thousands of new faces around here who have come to befriend with my KU.

KU Changed My Life. Did it really or did I change myself?

2011-07-27T22:38:00.005+05:30

I would not have seen Kathmandu University till this date if I did not have a craze of traveling without fixing my destination. I would have been deprived of this wonderful life experience I am having now in Kathmandu University. Well, this article is going to be personal one, with my own experiences before I reached KU and a few experiences of university life here.

I used to go for entrance preparation classes at

Examination in Kathmandu University

2011-07-25T07:25:00.000+05:30

"My heart is pounding 'dhuk dhuk dhuk dhuk...', is it because exam is on the next step?" posted one of my friends in KU in his facebook profile. Well, I commented, "Yours was just 'dhuk dhuk dhuk dhuk...'; my breath had stopped when I saw the question paper, thank God, my heart was pounding."

Not a big topic of discussion.. actually nothing important but still you might have guessed that the questions were unexpected. I am not guilty to say, "The questions which I had ignored as non-important were all I saw in the question paper." May be, some of you had a good time with those questions; it was my bad luck, perhaps.

So what? Does that give an overview of examination in KU?", asked someone

Kathmandu University Central Library

2011-07-19T21:47:00.000+05:30

KUCL- The term 'library' will be one of your favorites during your life in KU.

I am in the library.
Lets go to library.
It's in library.
In front of library.
Network connection in library is...
I had to return the book to library.
I saw him/her in the library.
...

KU Library is one of the most favourite destination of many students; you might not be the one among them but that's not the part of my problem. What I know is library is Heaven in KU. It has got five sections:

Computers corner - you'll be surfing Internet from that corner of library. One fact about those computers: rarely more than 5 out of 7 computers work or have every accessories required. We had tried to maintain those computers once (we means myself with 4 other friends), and 6 of them worked; one of them had problem in network adapter which was supposed to be changed very soon but it's nearly been 2 months...
Counter - you'll be issuing and returning books using your Own ID Card from this section of library, and the card is verified by a bar code

What is there in Kathmandu University

As soon as you reach KU after your academic session here starts for the first time (like it does every semester for me), you are a citizen of Kathmandu University. KU is your new country; it has its own language, own constitution, own leaders, own ethics and tradition. You need to know the location of its zones, (called department of Something Something, Kathmandu University, School of Something Something).

Here is an overview of the vitals of Kathmandu University.

Life in Kathmandu University? An Overview.

2011-07-19T09:06:00.003+05:30

Kathmandu University is simply the best university in Nepal for various faculty and course of study. Moreover the course design and syllabus is of international standard. The graduates of Kathmandu university can receive an equivalent certificate from 65 nations throughout the world for same course. Kathmandu University is the best university in Nepal in terms of quality of its products. But still there are many cons of KU. Life at KU is not that simple and easy as we had expected while first coming here.

Let me include a personal experience here. I am a student of Kathmandu University, most probably you are also one. While I first came to Kathmandu University, my motive was not to study here. I was here to visit Dhulikhel, but it was one of my classmates from PEA to provide me 1000 rupees to fill up the form. Well, I didn't reject and filled it up. I came for entrance, and later on after knowing well about KU I decided to study here. I am quite satisfied but still I saw many things that I could share with other students at KU or to those who are thinking of joining KU.
