Rupandehi Campus grew out of a local effort to build a higher education institution after the political changes of 2046/2047 BS. The campus was established in 2048 BS and initially received affiliation for the Proficiency Certificate Level Law program from Tribhuvan University. After the PCL Law program was phased out, the campus shifted its academic focus to the four-year B.Ed. and BBS programs.
The campus follows a public governance model. Its legislative body is the campus assembly, which includes academicians, social workers, administrators, businesspeople, representatives of community groups, and other local stakeholders. The executive body is the management committee formed by the campus assembly. This committee is responsible for implementing campus policies and programs. The institution also operates under its own constitution and related bylaws, which define the duties, responsibilities, and rights of internal bodies, subject committees, and working units.
This governance structure is closely tied to the campus’s community base. Local society has contributed through land donation, building support, and scholarship funds. The management committee includes representatives from the Siddharthanagar Chamber of Commerce and Industry, educationists, social and business leaders, teacher representatives, the Campus Chief, and the Assistant Campus Chief. The Campus Chief serves as the member secretary and reports campus developments and challenges in monthly board meetings.
Institutionally, the campus combines academic delivery with local participation, student support, and community engagement. In addition to formal academic programs, it has developed research, social outreach, and scholarship mechanisms that connect it to the wider public sphere of Rupandehi.
Rupandehi Campus currently operates two bachelor-level academic streams:
Education
Management
These streams are delivered through two faculties:
Faculty of Education
Faculty of Management
The Faculty of Education started in 2061 BS. It reports 15 faculty members and 280 students. The faculty structure includes:
Department of Language

Department of Teaching Practice
The teaching areas highlighted in the campus material include:
English
Nepali
Mathematics
Health and Physical Education
The main education program in operation is the four-year annual-system Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.).
The TU four-year B.Ed. is a professional and academic program designed to prepare teachers who can teach two subjects at the secondary level. The course requires students to complete 22 courses grouped into communication skills, professional core areas, specialization major courses, specialization minor courses, and teaching internship/practicum. TU allows specialization pathways such as Nepali, English, Mathematics, Science, Health and Physical Education, Population, Geography, Economics, History, and Political Science, with additional minor options in areas such as Biology, Health Education, Physical Education, Primary Education, Early Childhood Development Education, Non-Formal Education, and Education Management.
The Faculty of Management reports 11 faculty members and 378 students. It is intended for academic and professional study related to business, industry, and government.
The main management program in operation is the four-year annual-system Bachelor of Business Studies (BBS).
The TU BBS structure combines foundation, core, concentration, research, and project components across four academic years. The first year includes courses such as Business English, Business Statistics, Microeconomics for Business, Financial Accounting and Analysis, and Principles of Management. The second and third years continue with Business Communication, Macroeconomics for Business, Cost and Management Accounting, Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management, Fundamentals of Financial Management, Business Law, Foundation of Financial Systems, Business Environment and Strategy, Taxation in Nepal, and Fundamentals of Marketing.
