Under the Province 1 government, the Board of Governors will manage the University. This university aims to open and run constituent colleges throughout province 1 of Nepal.
This university is situated in Budhiganga Rural Municipality of Morang district in Province 1 of Nepal. For the current academic year, 48 candidates for BE in Civil Engineering and 24 for BE in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
MTU said that the university has discussed with the industrialists of various industrial corridors in the country and determined the curriculum for the production of manpower required by the industry. MTU said, "Nepali people cannot get jobs, but to end the compulsion of industries to import skilled manpower from abroad, the university has started to produce the required manpower for the industry domestically."
MTU also claimed that the compulsion to bring skilled manpower from India by producing all kinds of skilled manpower required for the indigenous industries will be abolished within 10 years. MTU said that by making a five-year plan for the School of Engineering, the Bachelor in Architecture and MSc in Structural Engineering program will be launched from the academic session 2080/2081. Vice-Chancellor MTU informed that the second assembly of the university has already approved these two programs.
