About the MBA Program
Pokhara University has introduced the trimester system at the master’s level of business administration. These regulations will apply only to MBA Programs including MBA (Global Business) and MBA (Finance) courses offered by the University. The prominent feature of the trimester system is the process of continuous evaluation of students’ performance and the flexibility to allow them to progress at a pace suited to their individual ability, subject to the regulation of credit requirements. Each course is assigned certain number of credit hours. Normally, one credit is equivalent to one lecture hour per week per trimester. That is, a three credit hour course will have 36 classes or contact hours in a trimester.

The Industry Track
Consulting Project
The Consulting Project, lasting at least 3 months, allows MBA students to apply classroom learning to real-world business problems. Working in small teams, they collaborate with key stakeholders to research, analyze, and recommend strategic business solutions. This integrative course encompasses all MBA subjects, helping students to plan, implement, and evaluate business projects, positively impacting the local community.
The Research Track
Graduate Thesis
In the research track, students must complete a research assignment and prepare a report in an approved management area. They must attend a viva-voce exam and present their report in a seminar, with 25% weightage for the viva and 75% for the report. Internal and external examiners, with the latter approved by the Dean’s Office, will evaluate the report.
Internship
During the sixth trimester, students undertake a 3-month intensive internship, culminating in a comprehensive report and presentation, worth 6 credits. Supervised by both a faculty and workplace supervisor, students must meet specific learning objectives, maintain a weekly journal, and complete a final paper. Evaluation is based on the host organization’s confidential report (40%) and the presentation of the Internship Project Report (60%). The internship typically leads to a job placement.
