Context: Nepal, Kathmandu University

As a frustrated Computer Science student at KU, I can say that most university classes are a waste of time and energy. Few students actually pay attention to the teacher.I wake up early, travel a long distance,6 km(3 km of walk) only to learn very little from under-qualified professors in terms of the thinking and teaching capabilities. Education is free on internet, I find better resources for free on the internet like YouTube, online sites, and ChatGPT.I believe only 10% of my success until now is due to my teachers.

The current trend is gradually shifting, and I believe that in the next 3-5 years, colleges in Nepal will begin to close due to brain drain after high school. The primary reason for this brain drain is the outdated curriculum in Nepal, as a four-year degree holds little relevance in the real world.

In the near future, universities like KU, TU, and PU may experience this issue. As a result, there is increasing interest in colleges affiliated with foreign universities because they offer a 3 year( shorter duration ) course with concise syllabus focused on job, skill and readiness and internships upon completion.

As a concluding remark, I strongly advise against studying in Nepal and wasting your 4 year time period for any programmes in bachelors, particularly the four-year engineering program. My question to the readers is:

What percentage of students would attend university classes if there wasn't an attendance requirement of 80%?  
Would you still attend your classes????
