The campus has received a letter of intent (LOI) to participate in the UGC's Higher Education Reform Project (HERP) by submitting a self-study report (SSR) on 11 Magh 2071 BS. On March 20th, 2072, BS, SGBC, and UGC signed an MOU. Different committees were established to prepare the SSR report after receiving the Letter of Intent (LOI). The report was duly submitted to the UGC's QAA division on 21 Bhadra 2074 BS. The campus was then visited by a pre-visit team led by Prof. Dr. Panna Thapa from Chaitra 2074 BS to 21. The team identified problems on campus and suggested remedial measures to raise the standard of the campus as a whole. Now that the campus has addressed the issues raised by the Pre-visit team, PRT is being awaited.
