The news published in Kantipur Daily on Friday titled 'Only one-third of the number of candidates passed in the deputy professor examination' has exposed the deep crisis of Nepal's higher education. In the written examination conducted by the Tribhuvan University Service Commission, the results of the Faculty of Management, Education, Law, Humanities, Science, Engineering are really disappointing. Not passing qualified candidates as per the demand is not only a general administrative problem, but also a reflection of the institutional failure of the entire educational system.  As mentioned in
news, only 91 people have passed the exam taken to fill the post of 275 deputy professors. In some subjects not even one candidate passes and even the reserved quota goes empty is a serious and thought-provoking matter. Not only that, the fact that even one of those participating in subjects like history, law, computer application, counseling psychology, sports science, etc. cannot achieve the minimum qualifications is a vivid illustration of the intellectual decay taking place in the education sector. 
But what is ironic is that the service commission officials are covering up the shortcomings by overgeneralizing such a serious failure as 'studying is poor', 'examinations are delayed', 'hopeful students have fled'. Although this argument is partially true, it exposes the depth of the management failure and structural problems. It is natural to assume that the delay in the conduct of the advertisement examination conducted five years ago has forced many eligible candidates to switch to other opportunities. But that is not the fault of the competitive candidate. Rather, it is the result of the surprising delay in conducting the examination by the Service Commission. 
If we don't wake up yet, there is a danger that the teaching profession will not be an area of ​​respect, but an alternative to unemployment. Therefore, the news of the disappointing result in the written examination of the vice-professor is also a clear warning to make all the stakeholders in the educational sector think. If serious self-examination and improvement are not done in time, the doors of possibilities in Nepal's higher education may be closed.
