Jay Ram Khanal, the principal of Medhavi College, is also marketing and promotional committee coordinator of Pokhara University. Forty of the total 58 colleges affiliated to Pokhara University (PU) are participating in the Edufair. The Kathmandu Post caught up with Khanal to talk about the fair and higher studies. Excerpts:

How has been visitors’ response to the Edufair?

Response so far has been very positive. Students visiting the stalls of the colleges affiliated to Pokhara University are aware of the courses we have. We are the second largest university in the country with over 30,000 students.

How is Pokhara University’s participation different this time compared to the previous editions of the Edufair?

Earlier, fewer colleges affiliated to Pokhara University used to participate in the edufair. This time, we have a dominant presence in the fair with the participation of 40 Pokhara Univeristy-affiliated colleges. The flow of students in our stalls is very encouraging.

What are the best faculties of Pokhara University?

I don’t think we’re second to anyone. Our management courses—BBA and BBS—are quite popular among the students. Besides, we’re working on making our courses in engineering, computer science, hotel management and health science the best in the country.
