ABOUT CAMPUS

After being founded, the Central Department of Microbiology (CDM) has traveled 25 years. On November 14, 1990, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, launched its master's program, eleven years after its bachelor's program at Tri-Chandra College. The start of Tribhuvan University's master's degree in microbiology marked a significant advancement in the country's ability to produce skilled microbiologists.

The course designed during the establishment was based on annual system encompassing, General microbiology, Clinical microbiology, Pharmaceutical microbiology, Food microbiology, Agriculture microbiology, Microbial biochemistry, Biostatistics, Microbial biotechnology and Environment microbiology. Students were involved in diverse field of research for their dissertation during their second year of their studies.

Nine years after the first course was designed, the course was amended in 1999. The change was essential since three years bachelor program replaced the earlier two years system and the course was necessary to be designed to target the three years bachelor students. The master’s course then offered Microbial structure physiology and genetics; Epidemiology, immunology and biostatistics; Biochemistry, total quality management and quality assurance; Instrumentation and biotechnology in the first year which were compulsory to all the students.

Each year the number of students willing to study microbiology increased and this subject was able to gain a reputation as a popular discipline in biological sciences. Though the limitation in the number of students for admission was 25 in the early days, with a constant demand to accommodate more students the maximum enrollment number of student was increased for the second time from 30 to 40.
