Each esteemed edu-institution is special in its own way. KIST is no different: What sets us apart is our governing ethos – academic achievement for professional perfection – where the powerful streams of secondary and tertiary education inter-mingle and create a stimulating, transformative blend of intellectuality, seriousness, and goal-orientation just within one student community and one campus.

Once you join the College, you’re going to become a committed student for the next few years of your edu-life till you find a great footing in life as a professional in the country or abroad. This is the appeal of KIST – Grades 11 & 12, Bachelor’s, and Master’s possible all at one institution whether you wish to specialize in Science or Management. More and more of our Grade XI & XII students prefer doing Bachelor’s at KIST itself, and the same applies to KIST Bachelor’s graduates who prefer doing their Master’s here. KIST is a perfect conduit to a glorious professional future!

We have, notably, helped to shape the qualitative delivery of higher-level education in Nepal since the last 22 years. The College predominantly values solid academic achievement linked to professional development since that alone is a passport for a student’s assured future in a world driven by a challenging knowledge-economy. Tomorrow’s real wealth is knowledge reinforced by academic accomplishment today. All this academic focus contributes to student satisfaction and bears testimony to their scholastic output.

You ought to know that our alumni too are doing great things worldwide and avidly contributing to human resource networks here for the unstoppable benefit of KISTians. They have greatly profited from this institution which identifies your talents, shapes you as a scholar and a person, and promotes your ambitions. Pastoral care at the College is unparalleled. KIST is a one-stop professional destination for your education after school and before your career launching.

Over the last two years, in particular, because of increasingly effective management, there is clear evidence of what we have done and are doing now and will be able to do . . . Our recent Board / University results have become impressively better! Now, KIST students normally graduate with flying colours – First Divisions & Distinctions in large numbers that increase annually grace our Grade XI & XII result sheets. Significantly, results at all other levels are equally outstanding; for instance, our student became the BBS TU Topper.

KIST, in fact, is where you’ll be able to refine your purpose in academic life and define the profession or career you wish to embark upon thereafter. In fact, individual performance and student behaviour, the globally cherished symbols of merit, have hugely improved due to excellent inputs and focused guidance. Our commitment to help you – the student – to achieve your professional quest and life-goals alongside our institutional goals and social values is absolute.

We believe in making you all unbeatable winners!

Lightning in a Bottle! Campus life at KIST throughout the academic session is a flurry of gainful SciTech activities for every student. Such goings-on sustain your learning through persistent involvement in researched study and innovative creation.

Open-mindedness and a global outlook linked to a patriotic spirit describe the College. We hold that harnessing youth power to tackle current or long-term problems faced by our country is essential. We are most keen to make the educated youth aware of the revolutionary soft-power of blended learning to manage praiseworthy goals in a scenario marked by ceaseless SciTech developments.

Our scientific approach to education is clearly evident from our focus on practical learning. We make use of available productive resources to enhance course knowledge. By doing so, we cater to the urgent need to revamp the present system of national education and make it internationally benchmarked.

Specifically, our Second Inter-College Science and Technology Project Exhibition & Competition, December 10, 2016, offered a vital chance to KIST students to prepare academically interesting projects. The event was well-received and well-attended sending ripples of encouragement to the student body at large.

We hold that all business growth must be linked to a noble vision alongside positive & innovative thinking with the slightest ecological footprint. We also hold that good management is the art of making business problems interesting, and thereby happily solvable. Management here accepts change, utilizes opportunities, and welcomes challenges.

At the Top

To Manage is to Know It’s a World of BusinessMarketing & InnovationProfessionals succeed if they keep the business angle at the core of their approach. Today’s knowledge economy is money-driven, profit-inspired & production-based though influenced by ethical practice. Business success is all about thriving enterprises, small or big, home-based or firm-embedded.

We empower our students through ample exposure & the latest learning that this world of unending business is also one of unimaginable opportunities present in everyday challenges or even risks. KIST’s institutional activities inculcate a keen business sense in students.

Virtual Reality & YouA world without IT has become unimaginable! We live in multiple realities of which virtual reality is the one that has most come to matter. Information Technology is the highway into this unbelievably rich digital world. Drones, robots, and Artificial Intelligence are the legends-to-be of modern educated man’s mindscape.

The charm of being an IT student and making a good career out of it is what the youth wants presently. For this practice, and a practical approach, must be available to the student so as to sharpen his or her knowledge gained and make the budding professional realize how IT tasks are done in a real-time environment.

Designing, Development, Network, Database, System Admin, or IT Marketing are some of these major career areas where there is a global scope and high demand of employment – locally, nationally, regionally, or internationally. The demand for IT developers in the global market, for instance, is far higher than that for other types of professionals.

This is precisely where KIST is way ahead because of its magnificent IT set-up and the effective IT courses the College manages. We conduct practical IT project classes and workshops throughout the year for students to enhance their professional knowledge and to create a base for their careers.

ImagineeringA novel idea introduced by us in the KIST Fair 2016, Imagineering is the implementing of creative ideas into practical form. It is a way to transform negativity into optimism for sustainable and creative concepts and designs. An imagineer is a person who can skillfully devise and implement new or creative ideas by using scientific knowledge or technology. The purpose behind our foray into Imagineering is our belief that being exposed to positive news can have a profound impact upon youngsters at KIST.

Our goal is to transform the thinking pattern of KISTians: To introduce them to ‘TOMORROWLAND’ – A vista into a world of wondrous ideas, signifying man’s achievements . . . a step into the future with predictions of constructive things to come, the challenges on the way, and the hope of a peaceful and unified world. We also aim at encouraging them to produce concrete projects or models comprising, for instance, interactive entertainment or green technology.

Opening MindsCo-curricular activities for you here are a compulsory, and vital, bridge between your academic accomplishment and extracurricular activities. They boost social interaction, leadership, healthy recreation, self-confidence & self-discipline. The intellectuality, personality, and academic worth of a scholar are shaped by them.

Modern education aims to foster all round development of a student – mentally, physically, morally and socially. A balance needs to be struck between the syllabus, curriculum & textbooks and closely related activities. A co-curricular activity is an opportunity to cultivate skills and non-academic abilities.

True & practical inputs, CCAs groom students in the art of living through their own legitimate & valued experiences. Hands-on involvement means unforgettable learning. Importantly, they nurture needed values in youngsters. They also afford different perspectives about holistic learning and you, the participant.

These activities lead to higher academic results & stronger relationships. Participants tend to lead healthier & more active lifestyles. They foster a sense of belonging to the institution resulting in a happy & cohesive community of learners who are doers well prepared for the outside world.

A Vital RoleCurricular activities – mere studies – remain incomplete without extracurricular, and co-curricular, inputs since they help in the all-round development of students. Different kinds of ECAs are conducted throughout the year at KIST so that the students can tap and display their talents.

Today, the perspective on education has completely changed. ECA records are carefully considered by admission officers in colleges or universities for placements including scholarships & by potential employers for job selection. So we actively encourage student participation in ECAs.

Sports

Competitive SpiritSports and games make students fit and strong, energetic and quick, alert and fast to take on the challenges of a world where both speed and accuracy of the body and mind go hand-in-hand. KIST is extremely keen on this aspect as it hugely impacts students’ overall development.

Sports parallel education in importance in life. Physical fitness is extremely necessary for everyone. Healthy students can work hard and study well. Some or the other sport-related activity is consequently a permanent fixture of the daily schedule of the College.

My Pride – KIST Our foundation alone can assist us to reach great heights in our lives! Today, I feel very proud to be a part of KIST which is undoubtedly the best college of Kathmandu Valley. It is a solid platform for all serious, good students, a place where my dreams were nurtured and where I trod the path of success.

My achievement in my studies, and in the various tests or exams, was all because of what

KIST gave me. This fantastic institution taught me how to deal with various challenges besides mastering formal education at the secondary level.

Bhuwan KhatiwadaXI Science KIST Topper

Learning EnvironmentIn truth, I believe one of the most important things that students can ever ask from a college is a learning environment which teaches them out-of-box-thinking. And that is exactly what I got from KIST during my six years (+2 and BBA) as a Kistian.

KIST is an amazing amalgam of education, skills, fun & friendship, and accomplishment. The institution builds a strong academic foundation and personal-cum-professional skills, which prove to be of tremendous help later. Certainly, the College will continue to enrich its learning culture and help its students pursue their career goals even more effectively. Best of luck KIST!

Smriti Singh ShresthaBBA TU Topper

KIST Makes TOPPERS!When I joined KIST College, I embarked on a remarkable learning experience. In fact, the learning environment here definitely encourages all students to learn. A wonderful organization, the College is geared to academic accomplishment. The teachers are deeply concerned about their students; focusing on each of their needs and their progress.

The best part of the College for me was that it always emphasized acquiring practical knowledge and equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need when they begin their careers as professionals. I am glad I chose KIST and I will always remain thankful for all the motivation and knowledge I gained which made me into a TOPPER!

Jagina ShresthaBBS TU Topper

Our ResultsIt is a well-known fact that KIST’s recent academic results in Board and University examinations are among the best anywhere. Over the last two years, in particular, there is clear proof of what we have done and are doing.

Tomorrow’s real wealth is knowledge reinforced by academic accomplishment today. All the academic focus at the College contributes to student satisfaction and solid and continuous scholastic output. Significantly, our overall recent results at all levels are becoming more and more impressive!

Testimony

We have strong reasons to believe that this trend of academic achievement shall not only continue but also improve!

Our Learning Environment

Education Is Life Itself Here

Our approach largely nurtures a rigorous yet engaging curriculum, inquiry-based teaching processes, and an institutional culture that inculcates compassion & responsibility in students as they grow into good citizens & top professionals. Such a purpose-oriented, integrated set-up greatly helps its functioning as a premier scholastic institution dedicated to its students as they march towards rewarding careers & lives that matter.

Planned both to support the provision of high quality education – the occurrence of teaching-learning – of the latest international standards while being carefully linked to the delivery of the university or national core curricula and to provide progressive academic inputs in keeping with a changing world that is developing at an astonishing rate while threatening the continuance of traditional pedagogy, KIST aims to manifest its edu-philosophy through such a matchless learning environment focused on students’ learning goals.

Our pedagogy & learning styles incorporate blended learning & progressive education. They guide the operational characteristics of the instructors who do their best for the optimization of individual academic performance & development of top-class professionals here itself. Alongside wide-ranging co-curricular and extracurricular activities, we offer many vital professionally-relevant and futuristic activities enhancing the professional or career prospects of the student community. KIST’s professional team of educators is committed to excellence in teaching-learning and academic performance. We set new and high standards so that our students can shape their future better.

Our well-organized infrastructure contains well-lit, ventilated, quiet classrooms and well-equipped laboratories that are reinforced by a well-stocked library that has also been digitalized and now performs quite a few functions of an e-library so necessary for virtual learning. There are sports courts and ample, uncluttered areas for students to utilize for academics, CCAs, and ECAs, and for the College to use for its varied, popular, regularly-held events. We do ensure that our learning spaces focus on developing 21st century skills & competencies to support the learning of core subjects.

Our learning spaces & soundly constructed purpose-oriented buildings play a strong role in effectively impacting student learning. The adjacent spaces, or the outdoor environment, of the College are superb. We overlook the picturesque Kamal Pokhari and can enjoy its fresh, refreshing breeze. This aspect potentially improves health & well-being and fosters improvements in learning retention. Also, distant views of nature – the panorama of hills encircling Kathmandu – help relax eyes engaged in close work, such as on computer monitors. Though located downtown, KIST is undisturbed by the city hustle and bustle & heavy traffic.

The organizational culture of the College is evident in its way of thinking, behaving, or working. Our practices and values guide, and unite, our educators, students, faculty, staff, and community. We support an excellent independent learning institution with a departmental organizational model that attracts high-calibre teachers. We offer safe, secure, and comfortable facilities.

In a societal sense, our learning environment caters to the culture of the population it serves and of their location, and we take care to identify our audience. As far as this cultural context goes, we are a multicultural community of students and education-related personnel. Our students come from many different cultures, and even countries. This inclusiveness reflects our global spirit & humanistic commitment.

Once you’re at KIST you’d soon realize that its educational approach is exceptional. It’s the foundation for holistic individual development. We aim to provide a 21st century learning environment – learner-centred

backed by modern digital technology that is largely internet-based.

Our learning culture takes into account how students interact and how teachers facilitate learning. Positive discipline & pastoral care enrich the academic milieu that encourages active learning.

This is what we do and what we are.

Read – Know – Learn


Voices That RevealHere the community of students is the College; the College, its students.

An educational institution is what students feel about it, what students do there, and why they continue to be at the place. What they have to say is the truth and this is what other students searching for the right college MUST know . . .

What our students say does make a difference – to us & to you!The best part about KIST is that it recognizes the special qualities of every student and motivates him or her in a caring way to bring out the best. The College is totally student-centred: The educators know each one of us almost like their own family members! This makes things homely yet strict. So, KIST is the best place to get to know ourselves far better and to boost our academic capability greatly.

Rabina Kulung, XI Management

Unlock Your PotentialYes, I was confused like so many others while choosing a college that would suit me but now that I think of it, KIST happened to be a lovely discovery. It is the best decision I have ever made in

my young life!

KIST is where you will unlock your true potential and soar high because of all the help and encouragement they give you. This is the place where I got to know myself much better and realized where my life was heading towards. Yes, the College definitely ‘shapes your future’.

Bishnu Rawat, XII Management

Choose KISTWhat have continually impressed me about KIST College are its faculty members alongside student relationships. Teachers here are not only brilliant but also profoundly good people who care deeply about their students. These relationships allow students to feel more comfortable while taking academic and intellectual risks so necessary for true learning.

Along with its well-equipped lab facilities and continual focus on projects, KIST is indeed a remarkable place for a student who wants to learn and grow in a dynamic and sound environment. We get rare opportunities to enrich our professional and personal lives at this homely organization. Choosing KIST College for BIT has been one of the finest decisions I have ever made.

Ashmita Poudel, BIT

Explore & LearnKIST is where you learn to lead and to succeed not only in academics but also in your entire life. Professional and supportive managers, dedicated and qualified faculty

members, and the entire College structure itself provide full opportunity to students to excel in their studies as well as in extracurricular activities.

Being at KIST is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Always eager to learn, I got the right platform to explore knowledge & to learn from others & by myself. Another plus factor at this institution is its emphasis on personality development which helps us considerably in our careers and elsewhere as we move on in our lives. No wonder I’m very thankful to KIST!

Rupa Karki, BBA

Absolutely Renowned Place KIST College is one of the most renowned platforms for students who seek qualitative modern education. The College uses the latest practices in e-learning and has international tie-ups including virtual classes delivered from the USA!

We get excellent education from highly qualified and experienced teachers who are committed to their students. The Wi-Fi, cafeteria, computer labs, research centre with high-speed internet facilities, and library with an e-book system is the best part of the College for the sincere and the deserving.

Skill, Knowledge, and Confidence KIST is undoubtedly one of the best colleges in the field of microbiology. What really attracted me to this institution were its distinctive features: Qualified and supportive faculty, strong infrastructure, spacious classrooms, fully equipped laboratories, ample facilities, cooperative administration, and affordable fee structure.

The expert teachers and well-equipped laboratories here are just what serious students need to become ace professionals. Become familiar with state-of-the-art equipment yields expertise in research work. As a result, after my Master’s here, armed with the needed skills, knowledge, and confidence, I was fully ready to compete in a tough professional world to fulfill my career dreams.

Student Views

Realize Your DreamsEvery year lots of students pass the SEE and dream to get into reputed colleges. They believe that such institutions will nurture fine scholastic qualities in them and make them successful young people wherever they study or work. In addition, they wish to get opportunities of all sorts – co-curricular & extracurricular – normally available in the best colleges to enhance their life experience and develop their personalities.

In the same way, I too had such dreams, hopes, and expectations which were, astonishingly, all fulfilled at KIST. Belonging from an average family, I’d always wanted to get a scholarship to relieve my parents’ financial burden and this wish too was fulfilled by the College. In fact, their scholarships are unique: Through manifold ways, they honour and encourage scholarship holders to achieve greater things!

Sadmarg Thakur, XII Science

Knowledge Based on PracticeKIST, a pioneering private institution providing quality education in the field of science and technology, focuses on providing knowledge based on practice apart from formal learning. It helps enthusiastic

students to learn comfortably and effectively. Importantly, the College has a very learning-friendly environment, with an accent on CCAs & ECAs, which fosters the multifarious talents of its students.

Openly, I’d opine that KIST is the real destination to nurture the realistic goals of serious and sincere students. The well-trained teachers and experienced management of this college made me self-motivated and ambitious. Truly, those who want to be winners by progressive and discipline-based education must study here.

Prajita Bhattarai, XI Science

A Wonderful ExperienceRun by a top educational group, KIST offers a well-maintained educative environment. The teachers are so friendly and motivating that each day at KIST is a wonderfully pleasant experience for us. The College focuses on exploring the creativity, talents, and interests of students through different engaging activities.

Publications

Peer Advice

Nurturing LearningThe College is a place for scholarship and for professionalism. Its publications reflect its clear-cut academic profile. So, KIST publishes various high-quality publications over each academic session. These include, notably, KIST Newsletters, and our magazine Outlook, that further our collective initiative towards innovative growth. Learned articles by experts, in addition, give the Newsletters a professional flavour.

Notably, KIST Research Review – a scientific journal for original research articles & review papers is another remarkable work being done by our Publication Division. All our publications are intended to support and activate student learning apart from disseminating knowledge to the student body in Nepal.

A Magical Formula College Selection after SEEAn XI Grader speaks to prospective KIST students . . .

After high school, we have our own anecdotes to share: Mine is all about the journey to a good college which is something not easy at all . . . Many challenges, risks, and difficulties come in our way. Happily, I feel that these hurdles can be tackled.

Determine Your Career . . .

“Isn’t it too early – especially if one’s just turned fourteen or so – to determine one’s career immediately after high school?” is the first confusing question that strikes us. The answer, simply, is, “NO!’ Start early; rise high. Remember to select a career which suits your personality & interests. This is the right time to take one’s first step towards identifying one’s career pathway. Careers have numerous options within

themselves, specialized or generalized, intra- or inter-disciplinary as you’ll find out soon.

College Selection – How & Which

Firstly, I made a detailed SURVEY of the top colleges of Kathmandu and then only joined KIST. Truly, I have found this college to be far, far better than what I’d imagined.

College Selection Criteria – ESSENTIALS

• Faculty • Computer lab • Practical lab • Internet • Infrastructure • Past achievements • Library • Fee Structure & Timing • Scholarship Scheme • Location & Transport • Discipline • ECA & Clubs • Uniqueness & International tie-ups • Courtesy & Care

Remember that the selection of a college is the most important decision which defines your first step towards the right career & a happy life. My advice to you is to conduct a similar survey yourself – that inspects each college from every aspect and is not influenced by catchy advertisements or clever words – before you join any college!

Contributing Every Day We at KIST clearly value social work since social responsibility is one of the main objectives of education. We always encourage, motivate, and inspire our students to be involved in diverse social activities during each academic year. The explicit purpose of our Social Club is Inspire; be inspired!

Life Beyond Our alumni are doing well wherever they are – educationally or career-wise. They are known for a distinctive outlook on life, a positive and cooperative attitude, and personal qualities together with knowledge and skills.

The College maintains contact with all ex-KISTians in different ways and on many occasions. It keeps a record of their placements, courses, scholarships or awards, research, jobs, or entrepreneurial ventures.

We intend to provide further opportunities to interact with, and learn from, such well-placed seniors. In fact, many former students return to their alma mater time to time after graduation to help teach what they have learned to their juniors – academics, CCAs, or ECAs.

AlumniTaking on New Challenges! Colleges are the places where students are groomed to achieve their life goals. And KIST College has provided me with both theoretical and practical knowledge to help me achieve my dream. The method of teaching here is unique. The College makes sure that the student is comfortable while progressing in his or her studies and life. The faculty allows students to interact with real world scenarios and always encourages them to take on the challenges of professional life. Truly, I was highly benefited by this approach and had a great learning experience.

Outlook 12



No BordersKIST is an institution that respects national heritage, and literature is one such outstanding facet of Nepalese culture. Literary creation pictures society. Literature is truth, fancy and beauty at the same time. It lets you be anything and go anywhere. This is the reason it is superior to other forms of writing.

Deeply realizing this fact, we give special importance to literary work at the College and always encourage our students to get involved in literary writing. On occasions, we invite renowned literary figures to inspire our students. Every year, different programmes are regularly organized for the same purpose.

Creative Freedom The College belongs to a land extremely rich in traditional arts and crafts. Our education at KIST takes into account this salient feature of our national ethos. Moreover, arts and crafts are linked to the holistic upgrading of a student's mind, personality, and life-skills. We firmly believe that art, generally, is the blossoming of true not synthetic education.

Accordingly, we let the students exhibit their hidden talent by providing ample aesthetic opportunities. Art develops the creativity of students. During this academic session, we organized different programmes in which interested students enthusiastically took part. In the same way, we also encourage students to take part in crafts-related events.
