In five study institutes and three faculties of Tribhuvan University, deans have been appointed due to political affiliation. Even though TRIU started the process by making a procedure to make the competition as a basis, after the ruling UML increased pressure, party division was done during the appointment.

After the appointment process became complicated, Prime Minister and Chancellor KP Sharma Oli also instructed Vice Chancellor Kesharjung Baral to make the appointment by December 7.

Baral was of the position that the Dean should be appointed to the first number of the recommendation committee. The Executive Council members including Rector Khadge KC were in favor of appointing one of the 3/3 people recommended. No one from Emalenicut was among the first number of recommendations. Finally, the Executive Council has selected the Dean from among the three people recommended. 

On the basis of the council, Mohanraj Sharma has been appointed at the Institute of Medical Studies (IOM), Sushil Bahadur Bajracharya at the Institute of Engineering Studies (IOE), Kishore Chandra Dahal at the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Sciences, Thakur Silwal at the Institute of Forestry Studies and Shankar Khanal at the Institute of Science and Technology Studies. have been

Similarly, Mahanand Chalise in the Faculty of Management, Dwivinanda Dhakal in the Faculty of Humanities and Sociology and Vedaraj Acharya in the Faculty of Education have also received the appointment of Dean. 

There are 3 professors from Congress, 2 from UML and 2 from Maoist, and one is not open anywhere. Merit in IOE and Faculty of Education has been transferred to UML. Suvarna Shakya stood first in IOE and Chitra Bahadur Budhathoki stood first in education.

Shakya is known as a Congressman and Budhathoki as a Maoist professor. But a member of the council claimed that due to the policy of not repeating the dean in the past, Budhathoki was left out and there were complaints about investments in private colleges and so on. 

Dean Congressnicutt is appointed to the Faculty of Management, Forestry and Institute of Science and Technology Studies. IOM's newly appointed Dean Sharma is considered independent. The Dean appointed to the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Sciences and Faculty of Humanities is a Maoist supporter.

The official of the University has claimed that there is no merit in the appointment as it was a unanimous decision by the method of selecting one of the three people in the executive council. Some professors have also argued that choosing one of the contenders rather than appointing directly on the party's recommendation will discourage participation.

Since 2062/063, Congress, UML and Maoists have been sharing the posts of vice-chancellor, rector, and registrar. The dean has also been appointed accordingly. Earlier, when Dharmakant Baskota was vice chancellor from UML quota, UML was allotted 5 deans, Congress and Maoists 2 deans each.

Because of the CPN government led by KP Sharma Oli, the rector and registrar were made from Maoist and UML background. Prior to Baskota, Tirtha Khaniyan was the Vice-Chancellor in the Congress quota and was the registrar in the UML quota and the rector in the Maoist quota. Khanian made 5 Congressmen and 2/2 from UML-Maoist as deans. 

Dean Bhagbanda has always been tense between political parties. Jagdish Aggarwal, former dean of IOM, says that parties interfere in appointments with the aim of fulfilling political interests through deans.

"Private relations are manipulated through the dean's office," he said, "there is nothing else like that in the dean's office." Professors of the university say that political parties are also interested in appointments due to political prestige.

This time, the executive council issued regulations (procedures) on the appointment of deans to compete in 100 full marks and formed a separate recommendation committee. The UML leaders and activists were furious after the committee's recommendation did not include a professor close to their party.

General Secretary Shankar Pokharel publicly criticized Vice-Chancellor Baral, accusing him of "making dirty jokes in the name of meritocracy". He alleged that an ideological group had been banned from the university and that an "ugly drama of meritocracy had been staged". 

UML's fraternal organization Aneraswawiu also alleged that merit was not transparent. UML leaders-activists argued that since Vice-Chancellor Baral was appointed as the second number of the recommendation, if he was made only from the first number in the Dean, he should leave the post of Vice-Chancellor.

University students, staff, professors started a protest with various demands. According to a source close to his secretariat, Baral withdrew from the position of appointing the first number, saying that even if the appointment is based on merit, there will be no working environment.
