Budhanilkantha School Grade 5 Admission
Budhanilkantha School, Kathmandu, under the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, together with its partner schools across Nepal, has announced scholarship admissions for Grade 5, Academic Session 2083. This scheme offers deserving children from disadvantaged communities the opportunity to study residentially — free of charge or at a subsidized fee — either at Budhanilkantha School itself or at one of its partner schools.
This is a separate track from the regular full fee-paying Grade 5 admission, and it is aimed specifically at meritorious children from community schools who meet the government’s eligibility and income criteria. Selection is competitive and combines a written examination with community and regional representation, followed by an interview.
Students and parents are encouraged to review the eligibility criteria, key dates, and required documents carefully before applying, since incomplete applications are rejected automatically.
