| Additional information |
Tri-Chandra College, established in Kathmandu in 1918, was the first institution of higher education in Nepal — founded under Rana Prime Minister Chandra Shamsher, whose name it bears alongside his two brothers. For decades it operated as the country's sole degree-granting body, a monopoly that reflected how deliberately the Rana oligarchy controlled access to education as a tool of political stability.
