Earlier, all the office bearers had resigned from the post after protests erupted over the appointments made by the Vice-chancellor.

Vice-chancellor Bishnu Raj Tiwari appointed Deepak Bhandari as the registrar, Nirmala Jammarkattel as the examination controller, Rajesh Thakurathi as the dean of management department, Govinda Lamichhane as the dean of science and technology department and Ajay Thapa as the dean of humanities department.

Prime Minister and University Chancellor Sushil Koirala had appointed Tiwari as the VC on November 6. Though Tiwari appointed other office bearers the very next day, the appointments were embroiled in controversy as the university employees protested dubbing that the appointments were against the law.
