Purbanchal University, university in Nepal
Purbanchal University is a public university in Biratnagar in Nepal's eastern region. The institution operates five faculties covering management, science and technology, arts, law, and education, with a main campus and 89 affiliated private campuses serving more than 26,000 students across various programs.
The university was established in 1993 following Nepal's return to multi-party democracy, designed to expand higher education to the eastern region. It was conceived as an important step to balance the country's educational landscape and foster academic and social development in the area.
The university represents educational ambitions for Nepal's eastern region. It brings together students from rural and urban areas, creating a meeting place where different communities come to study and build their futures.
The main campus is located in Sundarharaincha with adequate space for academic facilities and laboratories. Affiliated campuses allow students from distant areas to pursue programs locally without commuting to a central location.
The faculty of management was among Nepal's first to offer a bachelor's degree in business administration. The engineering school is also the only one in the entire eastern region, opening opportunities in technical fields that were previously unavailable locally.
