The faculty attendance scam plaguing Tribhuvan University

Last year (2025), the Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) issued letters to 18 professors of Birendra Multiple Campus under Tribhuvan University (TU) regarding their outside employment. However, they produced permission letters issued by TU itself that allowed them to work part-time. The further investigation process did not advance.

“The CIAA had inquired whether they had obtained permission to work. After they showed the permit, nothing happened,” says Prem Sagar Bhandari, the campus chief.
