Scholarship offers can make a difference to the cost of studying at Kathmandu Model College (KMC), but the amount a student receives depends on the chosen programme, academic results and the terms of the award. KMC publishes different provisions for BBA, BCA, BBM, BBS, social work, psychology and postgraduate programmes. Some are considered during admission, while others recognise performance after enrolment.
Before comparing any scholarship with college fees, check which charges it covers, how long the concession lasts and whether later examination results affect its continuation. The programme-wise details below explain what KMC has published and what applicants still need to confirm.
KMC Scholarship Availability by Programme
The college’s published programme information describes scholarships for BBA, BCA, BBM, BBS, BSW, psychology (BPsych), MBS and MA in English. The selection basis and duration differ, so the table compares what is published rather than promising an award for every applicant.
Students comparing the college’s bachelor’s and master’s programmes can use this overview to identify the right criteria. For someone weighing BBA, BBM and BBS after +2, the course structure and overall fees matter as much as the headline scholarship amount.
| Programme | Scholarship availability | Published selection basis | Continuation |
| BBA | Published scheme | NEB CGPA, CMAT and semester performance | Semester awards published; conditions apply |
| BCA | Published scheme | NEB CGPA and entrance-related criteria | Confirm current policy |
| BBM | Published scheme | +2 results, CMAT and semester performance | Semester awards published |
| BBS | Published scheme | NEB CGPA and subsequent examination results | Term-based reassessment published |
| BSW | Published scheme | +2 results and subsequent examinations | Performance and attendance conditions published |
| BPsych | Published scheme | +2 results and subsequent examinations | Performance and attendance conditions published |
| MBS | Published scheme | Academic performance and entrance results | Semester merit awards described |
| MA | Published scheme | Academic performance and entrance results | Semester merit awards described |
What Types of Scholarships Does KMC Offer?
KMC describes three main routes to assistance: admission awards linked to academic or entrance results, need-based consideration for eligible students and later awards for academic performance. These are distinct routes, with different evidence and timing.
Merit-Based Scholarships
Merit awards recognise academic results. For an incoming student, the relevant evidence may be the National Examination Board (NEB) +2 cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and, for some courses, the entrance score. Once enrolled, university or college examination results may become more important.
For BBA and BBM, the Common Management Admission Test (CMAT) is relevant to entry and published admission scholarship criteria. Tribhuvan University’s Faculty of Management listed both programmes in its 2083 (2026) CMAT notice. Passing an entrance test, however, is not the same as qualifying for a particular scholarship tier.
Need-Based Scholarships
Need-based support is intended for applicants whose financial circumstances meet the college’s applicable criteria. KMC explicitly describes merit-based and need-based opportunities on its postgraduate pages, but those pages do not publish a standard income threshold or fixed need-based award amount.
Scholarships Based on University and Semester Results
Scholarships can also reward performance after a student begins their degree. KMC’s BBA and BBM pages, for example, describe awards for university toppers and cash prizes based on semester ranking and GPA; its BSW information describes tuition instalment waivers linked to examination results and attendance.
Which Bachelor’s Programmes Offer KMC Scholarships?
At bachelor’s level, the most useful comparison is the basis of the award and the fee it reduces. KMC publishes fixed-amount admission awards for management and computing programmes, percentage concessions for BBS, and first-instalment concessions for social work and psychology.
BBA Scholarship at KMC
KMC’s BBA scholarship scheme lists admission awards of NPR 48,000, NPR 72,000, NPR 108,000 and NPR 144,000 for qualifying combinations of NEB CGPA and CMAT scores. The highest published tier specifies a CGPA of 3.76 or above and a CMAT score of 60. KMC describes these as limited-seat awards offered on a first-come basis.
Students already taking BBA can also be considered for published university-topper scholarships or semester-performance cash prizes. A candidate should check the current scholarship policy and exactly where any admission award will appear in the fee statement; the listed amount is not automatically a cash payment to the student.
BCA Scholarship at KMC
KMC’s BCA programme page lists admission scholarship amounts from NPR 24,000 to NPR 72,000 and describes support based on +2 results and entrance performance. BCA admission uses the entrance route administered by Tribhuvan University’s Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, not the management CMAT used for BBA and BBM.
The published BCA scholarship table is internally unclear: it is labelled ‘CMAT Score’ and includes entries such as 100, 300, 500 and 1000. These must not be treated as verified BCA entrance cut-offs. Ask KMC admissions for the corrected scheme and applicable BCA entrance criteria before relying on any amount.
BBM Scholarship at KMC
For BBM, KMC publishes fixed admission awards of NPR 24,000, NPR 36,000, NPR 54,000 and NPR 72,000 alongside +2 CGPA and CMAT-related criteria. However, several score entries in the displayed table require clarification. Applicants should obtain the current valid score ranges directly from KMC rather than relying on the unclear table.
BBS Scholarship at KMC
KMC’s BBS programme publishes percentage-based scholarships according to NEB CGPA. Unlike BBA’s fixed NPR amounts, this is a waiver on the annual and monthly fee components named in its scheme. The published brackets are shown below.
The published scholarship structure includes:
| NEB CGPA | Waiver on Annual and Monthly Fees |
| 3.80–4.00 | 100% |
| 3.62–3.79 | 75% |
| 3.25–3.61 | 50% |
| 2.80–3.24 | 25% |
The first-term limitation matters: the published monthly tuition concession applies only until the first term, and later monthly tuition support depends on each term’s examination results. A student receiving a 75% concession initially should not budget on that same percentage continuing throughout all four years without written confirmation.
BSW and BPsych Scholarships
KMC’s social work and psychology information lists admission concessions of 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%, based on +2 CGPA brackets. Those percentages apply to the first-year administration fee and the first tuition instalment specified in the published scheme. They do not mean the same percentage will be deducted from every instalment of the whole degree.
Later merit awards on KMC’s BSW page cover a subsequent single tuition instalment and use terminal or university examination results. That scheme also sets an 85% class-attendance requirement. Psychology applicants should confirm which provisions apply to their exact course rather than assuming all social work conditions transfer unchanged.
Are Master’s Students Eligible for KMC Scholarships?
Yes. The published MBS and MA in English programme pages describe merit-based and need-based scholarships for postgraduate applicants and further recognition for strong semester results. Neither page provides a complete, verified amount-by-grade scholarship table for the current intake.
At master’s level, prior degree results and the relevant postgraduate entrance process may inform eligibility. Entrance requirements also differ between programmes, so a bachelor’s CMAT score should not be assumed to determine an MBS or MA scholarship.
- MBS Students: The MBS programme offers merit-based and need-based scholarships, as well as recognition for outstanding semester performance.
- MA Students: The MA programme also identifies merit-based and need-based scholarships linked to academic performance and entrance examination results.
An MBS or MA applicant should therefore request the programme’s current award amounts, need-based requirements, application procedure and continuation terms before using a scholarship to estimate tuition costs.
Who Is Eligible for KMC Scholarship?
There is no single CGPA or entrance score that qualifies a student for every KMC scholarship. Admission awards are programme-specific, need-based awards assess different circumstances, and later merit scholarships depend on performance after enrolment.
Meeting an eligibility requirement does not necessarily guarantee an award. For example, some of KMC’s published admission scholarship schemes explicitly refer to limited seats.
Admission eligibility and scholarship eligibility are separate decisions. For example, Tribhuvan University’s 2083 CMAT notice sets entrance eligibility for BBA and BBM applicants, while KMC’s published scholarship table uses higher grade and score combinations for its advertised BBA awards.
How to Apply for KMC Scholarship
The practical application process starts with the same question for every student: which scholarship scheme applies to my chosen programme and intake? KMC’s course pages describe entrance and admission steps, but the reviewed pages do not establish one universal online scholarship form, deadline or separate scholarship examination for all programmes.
The following steps can help applicants prepare:
- Check Your Programme’s Scholarship Information: Review the latest details for your chosen bachelor’s or master’s course.
- Confirm Your Eligibility: Ask the admissions office which academic, entrance or category-specific conditions apply.
- Check Required Documents: Confirm whether scholarship consideration requires documents beyond the normal admission materials.
- Follow the Official Application Instructions: Use the procedure communicated by the admissions office for the current intake.
- Complete Applicable Assessments: Attend any entrance examination, interview or additional assessment officially required.
- Confirm the Scholarship Decision: Obtain the awarded amount, covered fees, duration and conditions before completing financial arrangements.
Scholarship documents and deadlines depend on the programme and intake. Keep academic transcripts, relevant entrance results and identification ready, and ask whether the award needs a separate form or financial evidence. Enquire with KMC admissions before paying fees because some scholarships have limited seats. TU entrance registration alone is not a KMC scholarship application, and no universal 2083 scholarship deadline was verified.
Does KMC Scholarship Continue Every Year?
No, KMC scholarship does not necessarily continue throughout a student’s degree. The award letter or applicable programme policy should specify whether the benefit covers one instalment, the first term, a semester or a longer period.
For BBS, KMC explicitly links later monthly tuition concessions to term examination results after the first term. Its management and social work pages also describe separate awards for later performance. A later award may therefore involve reassessment rather than automatic renewal.
Before building a multi-year budget around a discount, obtain the exact fee component, duration, renewal criteria and notice procedure in writing.
KMC Scholarship vs Other College Scholarships in Kathmandu
Two scholarships with the same advertised percentage can save very different amounts. Compare the fee component, number of instalments covered and conditions before judging which offer makes college more affordable.
Check which fees and instalments the advertised percentage actually covers.
| Comparison factor | What students should check |
| Eligibility | Academic and other qualifying requirements |
| Scholarship amount | Actual financial value of the award |
| Fee coverage | Tuition, admission, administration or other specified fees |
| Duration | One instalment, semester, year or longer |
| Continuation | Academic, attendance or other renewal requirements |
| Availability | Number of awards or applicable seat limitations |
| Application | Required procedure and relevant deadlines |
Worked example: suppose a college charges NPR 25,000 for each of four tuition instalments in a year. A 25% waiver on the first instalment saves NPR 6,250 (25% of NPR 25,000), whereas a 25% waiver on all four saves NPR 25,000. These are illustrative figures, not KMC’s published fees. The difference is why ‘25% scholarship’ is incomplete without fee coverage and duration.
Ask for a before-and-after fee breakdown showing admission charges, annual fees, tuition instalments, university charges and the precise scholarship deduction. This is more reliable than comparing headline percentages alone.
Confirm Your KMC Scholarship Eligibility
Scholarship eligibility and available seats vary by programme and intake. To confirm which concessions might apply to you, contact Kathmandu Model College’s admissions team about current criteria, required documents and the fees an award would cover.
FAQs
Is KMC scholarship based only on +2 grades?
No, the college’s published schemes also refer to entrance performance, financial need and results earned after enrolment. The criteria depend on the course and award category.
Does KMC have one online scholarship form for all courses?
A universal online form was not established from the reviewed programme pages. Ask KMC admissions whether your scholarship is considered during admission or requires a separate request.
Can I receive an entrance scholarship and a semester award together?
KMC describes both admission and later performance awards, but the reviewed pages do not establish a general rule for combining them. Confirm eligibility and whether awards can be stacked with the admissions team.
Is KMC Scholarship 2083 the same as Kathmandu Metropolitan City’s Class 11 scheme?
No, Kathmandu Metropolitan City operates a separate Class 11 scholarship scheme. This article covers Kathmandu Model College’s bachelor’s and master’s scholarships. For the city’s scheme, use its own official notices and portal; do not treat those results as KMC College awards.
